3. Solids Flowback Issues
• Increased Operating Expense
• Downhole and surface equipment failure (ESP, screens,
chokes, etc.)
• Disposal of material
• Increased workover operations
• Reduced Production
• Fill across screens or perforations
• Loss of fracture conductivityconductivity
4. Resin Pre-coated Proppant
(RCP) vs. Liquid Curable Resin
(LCR)
RCP
• Pre-coated
• Curable or pre-cured
• Requires temperature
and closure stress
• Availability of proppant
LCR
• On-the-fly coating
• 100% curable
• All temperatures
• Closure stress not required
• All proppant types or sizes
17. Lessons Learned and
Recommendations
• Cleaning out wellbore and perforations
• Fracturing fluid compatibility with LCR-coated
proppant
• Coating proppant throughout all stages
• Early screenout
• Forced closure
• Aggressive breaker schedule
• Shut-in time for curing
18. Conclusions
• LCR can be combined with hydraulic fracturing
treatment, or applied as part of remedial
consolidating treatments, to treat any proppant for
controlling proppant flowback.
• Properly coating and curing of LCR onto proppant
allows the consolidated proppant to handle the high
drawdown of the well and the effects of stress-
strain cycles during well production and shut-in.
Editor's Notes
The footprints generated by the liquid resin system are prominent and distinct. Plenty of pore spaces left behind for fluid movement.
