Experimental Estimate of Capacities of Shallow Hydraulic Fracturing with Proppant Made of Aluminosilicate Microspheres in Oil Reservoirs
The authors describe laboratory tests of hydraulic fracturing with proppant made of aluminosilicate microspheres ASPM-500 in combination with acid treatment for shallow fracking in thermal recovery of heavy oil. It is illustrated that application of aluminosilicate microspheres to local fracturing of rocks is a promising line of development of hydraulic fracturing technologies.
