Abstract

See full text

Fracturing, frac-pack, and gravel packing procedures are provided which utilize a treating composition comprising a carrier fluid and a particulate blend. The particulate blend consists essentially of a large particulate material and a small particulate material. The large particulate material consists essentially of particles smaller than about 4 mesh but not smaller than about 40 mesh. The small particulate material consists essentially of particles smaller than about 16 mesh but not smaller than about 100 mesh. The small particulate material is present in the particulate blend in an amount in the range of from about 5% to about 60% by weight based on the amount of the large particulate material present in the particulate blend. A prepacked screening device including a large particulate/small particulate blend of the type just described is also provided.
