Abstract
Proppant having amphiphobic coatings and methods for making and using same are disclosed. The proppant having amphiphobic coatings can include a proppant particle having a size from about 8 mesh to about 140 mesh, density of less than about 4.0 g/cm3, and a coating containing an amphiphobic material formed on an outer surface of the proppant particle.
Claims14
An amphiphobic proppant particle, comprising:
- a proppant particle having an internal interconnected porosity from about 5% to about 75%, a size from about 8 mesh to about 140 mesh and a density of less than 4.0 g/cm3;
- and
- a degradable coating comprising an amphiphobic material infused into at least a portion of the internal interconnected porosity and formed on an outer surface of the proppant particle,
- wherein the degradable coating comprises a degradable polymer blended with the amphiphobic material.
