METHOD OF TREATING SUBTERRANEAN FORMATIONS WITH POROUS CERAMIC PARTICULATE MATERIALS

摘要

Methods and compositions useful for subterranean formation treatments, such as hydraulic fracturing treatments and sand control that include porous materials. Such porous materials may be selectively configured porous materi al particles manufactured and/or treated with selected glazing materials, coati ng materials and/or penetrating materials to have desired strength and/or apparent density to fit particular downhole conditions for well treating suc h as hydraulic fracturing treatments and sand control treatments. Porous materials may also be employed in selected combinations to optimize fracture or sand control performance, and/or may be employed as relatively lightweigh t materials in liquid carbon dioxide-based well treatment systems.
