Abstract

Improved composition and method for a micromesh proppant with a temporary structural state for improved handling and efficiency. The present disclosure provides a micromesh proppant composition configured to transition between a micromesh structural state and an aggregated structural state. The composition includes a plurality of micromesh proppant particles having a particle size from about 150 mesh to about 635 mesh. In the micromesh structural state, the proppant particles are unbounded and free from each other. In the aggregated structural state, the proppant particles are bound into super-particles by a temporary binding agent, with each super-particle comprising two or more proppant particles. The temporary binding agent is configured to break down under predetermined conditions, allowing the composition to transition from the aggregated structural state back to the micromesh structural state.
