Abstract
Fracturing fluids and liquid concentrate proppant slurry compositions comprising high-density micro-proppants and low-density particulates in a single treatment fluid. The low-density particulates enhance the suspension of the high-density particulates resulting in improved vertical distribution and longitudinal transport and coverage in the complex fracture network. Methods of hydraulic fracturing using the disclosed fracturing fluids and liquid concentrate proppant slurries as well as methods of preparing liquid concentrate proppant slurries with improved storage properties, are provided.
