PROPPANT FOR HYDRAULIC FRACTURING OF OIL AND GAS WELLS AND PROCESS FOR DECREASING OR ELIMINATING 'FLOW-BACK' EFFECT IN OIL AND GAS WELLS'.

摘要

The present invention relates to a proppant for the hydraulic fracturing of oil or gas wells, which consists of a mixture of from 10 to 95% by weight of a spherical proppant and from 5 to 90% by weight of an angular material, the percentages being based on the total weight of the mixture. The proppant obtained according to the present invention is useful for eliminating or decreasing th e "flow-back" phenomenon in operations in oil or gas wells.
