Abstract:
Compositions and methods for use for hydraulic fracturing and creating high porosity propped fractures in portions of subterranean formations are provided. In one embodiment, the methods include introducing a fracturing fluid into the well bore at or above a pressure to create or enhance at least one fracture in the subterranean formation; providing a carrier fluid including reticulated materials, wherein the carrier fluid is substantially proppant free; providing a proppant slurry; and introducing the carrier fluid and the proppant slurry into the at least one fracture to form a plurality of proppant aggregates.
