A method of treating a subterranean formation may include preparing a mortar slurry, injecting the mortar slurry into the subterranean formation at a pressure sufficient to create a fracture in the subterranean formation, and allowing the mortar slurry to set, forming a mortar in the fracture. The mortar slurry may be designed to form a pervious mortar, to crack under fracture closure pressure, or both.

Rock strength is estimated during drilling using a rate of penetration model or a modified mechanical specific energy models. The rock strength estimate can be used in conducting further drilling, for example by a drilling system. Drilling parameters may be altered as a result of determining rock strength, for example to avoid undesirable trending fractures, such as extensive vertical fractures.

A method of treating a subterranean formation via well bore may include introducing a plurality of particles into the subterranean formation via the well bore, each particle having a substrate and a layer of cement on the substrate. The cement may be in a state of suspended hydration and the method may include introducing moisture to the subterranean formation via the well bore. The method may also include allowing the particles and the moisture to contact one another. Contact between the particles and the moisture may cause the cement to move from a state of suspended hydration to a state of secondary hydration.

Methods of making and using cement coated substrate

A method of producing hydrocarbons from a tight formation includes injecting a fluid, such as a miscible gas, and retrieving the hydrocarbons. The fluid may be injected into an injection fracture via and retrieved from a recovery fracture. The injection fracture and recovery fractures may be in the same wellbore, the injection fracture may be in a first wellbore and the recovery fracture in a second wellbore, or the injection fracture and recovery fracture may be in a first wellbore and additional injection or recovery fractures may be in a second wellbore.
