Abstract
The strength of a proppant or sand control particulate may be improved by coating the proppant to form a composite. The composite has enhanced compressive strength between about 34 to about 130 MPa and minimizes the spalling of fines at closure stresses in excess of 5,000 psi. Conductivity of the proppant pack in the fractures is further enhanced due to the increase in strength of the particles.
