Abstract
The disclosed hydraulic fracturing fluid can include a liquid solvent, one or more surfactants, a proppant-forming compound, and one or more curing agents. When injected into a wellbore, the hydraulic fracturing fluid reacts to form proppant pillars in-situ under downhole conditions. The proppant pillars are capable of maintaining conductive fractures.
