1. A method of determining a permeability of a hydraulic fracture, comprising:
obtaining formation parameters and a plurality of formation samples;
dividing the plurality of formation samples into a first group and a second group;
measuring mechanical and hydraulic properties of the first group;
soaking the second group in a fracturing fluid for a plurality of time periods, wherein soaking the second group in the fracturing fluid further comprising soaking the second group in a plurality of different fracturing fluids;
measuring, after each soaking time period, the mechanical and hydraulic properties of the second group;
building, using a computer processor, a proppant-rock interaction model based, at least in part, on the mechanical and hydraulic properties of the first group and the second group; and
determining, using the computer processor, the permeability of a hydraulic fracture based, at least in part, on the proppant-rock interaction model and the formation parameters.
