Methods and systems for perforating a downhole formation which include attaching a COperforating device to a wireline, where the COperforating device may include one or more COfilled perforating units. The methods and systems may further include disposing the COperforating device at a depth within a wellbore and detonating the one or more COfilled perforating units to perforate one or more surfaces selected from the group consisting of the wellbore casing, cement, and the downhole formation.

A composition includes an emulsion of nanocomposite in water and a proppant. The nanocomposite includes an epoxy resin and an organically modified montmorillonite compatible to the epoxy resin.

Propping open hydraulic fractures

Fracturing a reservoir includes providing a pad fluid to the reservoir via a wellbore in a well to create fractures in the reservoir, providing a fracturing fluid to the fractures via the wellbore, providing a geopolymer precursor fluid to the fractures via the wellbore, shutting in the wellbore at a wellbore pressure, thereby allowing the geopolymer precursor fluid to harden and form geopolymer proppant pillars in the fractures. Providing the geopolymer precursor fluid to the fractures includes pulsing quantities of the geopolymer precursor fluid into a continuous flow of the fracturing fluid or alternately pulsing quantities of the geopolymer precursor fluid and the fracturing fluid. An elapsed time between pulsing the quantities of the geopolymer precursor fluid is between 2 seconds and 20 minutes.
