Abstract
Self-suspending proppants including proppant particles coated with a CO-philic coating are provided. The CO-philic coating may be lightly crosslinked and may have a physical structure that constrains COmolecules. Methods of making self-suspending proppants may include coating a proppant particle with a polymerizable precursor material of a CO-philic material and polymerizing the polymerizable precursor material to form a self-suspending proppant are also provided. Additionally, hydraulic fracturing fluids that may include a CO-based fluid and the self-suspending proppants and methods of treating subterranean formations by contacting a subterranean formation with hydraulic fracturing fluid and propagating at least one subterranean fracture are provided.
