Description
Summary:One of the most common work model used to contribute to the oil supply is based in the local stimulation of producing wells, where is intended to minimize the skin around the perforation and increase the flow available area. Within these techniques the hydraulic fracturing stands out, in which a series of fractures are induced in the net pay by the injection of a high pressured fluid and a granular material. This work studies and evaluates the use of different ultralight proppants as supporting agents in hydraulic fractures, physical properties of these materials are determined and analyzed in the laboratory to prove different work scenarios. From the results and the collected data from other studies, a structured methodology is designed with established criteria and limiting factors to make a conscious choice.
