Abstract:
Methods of enhancing well production, including enhancing fluid flow by conductivity enhancement, diversion, and fluid-loss control, are described. The method of enhancing fluid flow includes introducing a fracturing fluid including resin-coated proppant particles into the formation; introducing (i) a thermosetting composition including one or more di- or tricarboxylic acids and one or more epoxidized fatty acid esters or (ii) thermoset particulates comprising an anhydride network of one or more epoxidized fatty acid esters cross-linked with one or more di- or tricarboxylic acids, into the formation; allowing the resin-coated proppant particles and (i) the thermosetting composition or (ii) the thermoset particulates to form a proppant matrix in a fracture; and allowing voids to form in the proppant matrix.
