CROSSLINKED EPOXY VINYL ESTER PARTICLES AND METHODS FOR MAKING AND USING THE SAME

摘要

A plurality of particles comprising a crosslinked aromatic epoxy vinyl ester polymer, wherein a particle from the plurality of proppant particles swells not more than 20% by volume when submerged in toluene for 24 hours at 70°C is disclosed. A plurality of particles comprising a crosslinked aromatic epoxy vinyl ester polymer, wherein a particle from the plurality of particles maintains at least 75% of its height under a pressure of 1.7×10Pascals up to at least 135°C is also disclosed. Mixtures of the plurality of particles and other particles, fluids containing the plurality of particles, methods of making the plurality of particles, and methods of fracturing a subterranean geological formation are also disclosed.
