Abstract:
Systems and methods for enhancing the conductivity of fractures in a subterranean formation using cements and electrically controlled propellant materials are provided. In some embodiments, the methods comprise: introducing a cement fluid comprising an aqueous base fluid, an inorganic cement, an electrically controlled propellant, and a plurality of electrically conductive particles into at least one fracture in a subterranean formation; allowing at least a portion of the cement fluid to at least partially harden in the fracture to form a solid cement mass; and applying an electrical current to at least a portion of the electrically controlled propellant in the fracture to ignite the electrically controlled propellant, whereby the solid cement mass in the fracture is at least partially ruptured by the ignition of the electrically controlled propellant.
