... Abstract Resin coated proppants are widely used in fracturing applications. They serve two purposes namely to increase the strength of proppant material to withstand closure stresses and to mitigate any proppant flowback. Typically, resins used for proppant coatings are made up of hydrophobic...

... Abstract In the last decade, many gas reservoirs with permeabilities from 0.1 to 10 mD have been developed with horizontal wells with transverse fractures. The potential negativeimpact of convergent flow in the fracture seems to have been forgotten. The widespread use of resin coated proppant...
