| 发明名称 | Methods of hindering the settling of proppant aggregates | ||
| 摘要 | Providing a carrier fluid having a density; providing a proppant aggregates having a density higher than that of the carrier fluid; and, providing low-density particulates having a density lower than that of the carrier fluid. Then the carrier fluid, proppant aggregates, and low-density particulates are combined to create a propping fluid. The propping fluid then is placed into a fracture within a subterranean formation wherein the low-density particulates slow the settling of the proppant aggregates within the fracture. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A method comprising: providing a carrier fluid having a density; providing a proppant aggregates having a density higher than that of the carrier fluid; providing low-density particulates having a density lower than that of the carrier fluid; combining the carrier fluid, proppant aggregates, and low-density particulates to create a propping fluid; placing the propping fluid into a fracture within a subterranean formation; wherein the low-density particulates slow the settling of the proppant aggregates within the fracture. | ||
