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.
Claims6
A proppant composition for use in hydraulic fracturing, the proppant composition comprising:
- a first proppant comprising Portland cement clinker;
- a second proppant selected from the group consisting of frac sand, bauxite proppant, ceramic proppant, and polymer proppant;
- and
- an acid, wherein the acid is sufficient to dissolve the Portland cement clinker to create conductivity pathways in a plurality of fractures in a subterranean formation.
