Abstract:
Methods including preparing a treatment fluid comprising a base fluid, degradable reticulated foam particulates, and non-degradable proppant particulates; introducing the treatment fluid into a subterranean formation comprising at least one fracture therein; placing the degradable reticulated foam particulates and the non-degradable proppant particulates into the at least one fracture, so as to form a stabilized proppant pack therein; and degrading the degradable reticulated foam particulates, thereby forming a high porosity propped fracture.
