IMPROVED SUSPENSION OF PROPPANT PARTICLES IN HYDRAULIC FRACTURING FLUID

摘要

Systems and methods for suspending proppant particles are described. Systems and methods may include a composition including a hydraulic fracturing fluid, one or more proppant particles in the hydraulic fluid, and a density modifier associated with the one or more proppant particles to create one or more modified proppant particles. The association of the density modifier with the one or more proppant particles may modify the density of the one or more modified proppant particles relative to the one or more proppant particles.
