Abstract
This present application relates generally to enhancing flow of fluids during fracturing operations. More specifically, the application relates to providing a proppant with a low surface energy, introducing the proppant into a subterranean formation with a surfactant selected to interact with the proppant such that the recovery of hydrocarbons from the subterranean formation is enhanced.
