Abstract

An increase in effective propped lengths is evidenced in hydraulic fracturin g treatments by the use of ultra lightweight (ULW) proppants. The ULW proppant s have a density less than or equal to 2.45 g/cc and may be used as a mixture in a first proppant stage wherein at least one of the proppants is a ULW proppant. Alternatively, sequential proppant stages may be introduced into t he formation wherein at least one of the proppant stages contain a ULW proppant and where at least one of the following conditions prevails: (i.) the densit y differential between the first proppant stage and the second proppant stage is greater than or equal to 0.2 g/cc; (ii.) both the first proppant stage and t he second proppant stage contain a ULW proppant; (iii.) the rate of injection o f the second proppant stage into the fracture is different from the rate of injection of the first proppant stage; or (iv.) the particle size of the second proppant stage is different from the particle size of the first proppant stage.
