High porosity fractures and methods of creating high porosity fractures

摘要

Methods of creating high porosity propped fractures in portions of subterranean formations, including methods of forming a high porosity propped fracture in a subterranean formation comprising providing a slurry comprising a fracturing fluid and proppant particulates substantially coated with an adhesive substance; introducing the slurry into a portion of a fracture within the subterranean formation; and, depositing the proppant particulates into the portion of the fracture within the subterranean formation so as to form a high porosity propped fracture.
