FORMATION TREATMENT METHOD USING DEFORMABLE PARTICLES

摘要

A subterranean formation is treated by injecting a blend of fracture proppan t material and deformable particulate material into the formation. The deformable particula te material may combine with the fracture proppant material to increase fracture conductivit y, reduce fines generation, and/or reduce proppant flowback. The fracture proppant material may be a material such as sand, and the deformable particulate material may be a material such as polystyrene divinylbenzene beads.
