Abstract
Proppant compositions for hydraulic fracturing that include Portland cement clinker are provided. A cement clinker proppant composition for hydraulic fracturing may include Portland cement clinker and another proppant. Another cement clinker proppant composition for hydraulic fracturing may include resin-coated Portland cement clinker and another proppant. Methods of hydraulic fracturing using the cement clinker proppant compositions and manufacturing the cement clinker proppant compositions are also provided.
Claims7
A method of hydraulic fracturing a subterranean formation, the method comprising:
- injecting a hydraulic fluid into a subterranean formation, the hydraulic fluid comprising a proppant composition, wherein the proppant composition comprises:
- a first proppant comprising Portland cement clinker;
- and
- a second proppant selected from the group consisting of frac sand, bauxite proppant, ceramic proppant, and polymer proppant;
- injecting an acid into the subterranean formation and contacting the acid with the Portland cement clinker such that the acid dissolves the Portland cement clinker to create conductivity pathways in a plurality of fractures in the subterranean formation.
