Abstract

See full text

The novel proppant consists of composite particles, the core of which is a conventional proppant particle such as silica sand. The core has a thin, void-containing coating which provides an overall density approaching that of the fracturing fluid. The coating preferably comprises hollow glass microspheres embedded in an adhesive which bonds the microspheres to the core.
