First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method of hydraulic fracturing comprising formulating a hydraulic fracturing fluid comprising a liquid solvent,at least one surfactant,a liquid phase proppant-forming compound, andat least one curing agent;
- injecting the hydraulic fracturing fluid into a wellbore;
wherein the proppant is generated from a liquid system in-situ under down hole conditions; and
wherein the liquid phase proppant-forming compound forms pillars in a two-dimensional structure capable of maintaining conductive fractures in the downhole environment.
