Abstract: Methods for producing proppants with block copolymer proppant coating include coating proppant particles with the block copolymer proppant coating to produce coated proppants with block copolymer proppant coating. The block copolymer proppant coating is a block copolymer composition having at least one copolymer backbone. Each copolymer backbone comprises at least two hard segments and a soft segment disposed between the at least two hard segments. Additionally, a proppant comprising a proppant particle and a block copolymer proppant coating includes a block copolymer composition having at least one copolymer backbone, in which each copolymer backbone comprises at least two hard segments. A soft segment is disposed between the at least two hard segments. The copolymer backbone has at least one anhydride group grafted onto the soft segment. Furthermore, the anhydride group is crosslinked by an amine-containing crosslinker.

Abstract: A fracturing fluid including a base fluid including salt water, a polymer, a crosslinker, and a nanomaterial. The crosslinker may include a Zr crosslinker, a Ti crosslinker, an Al crosslinker, a borate crosslinker, or a combination thereof. The nanomaterial may include ZrO2 nanoparticles, TiO2 nanoparticles, CeO2 nanoparticles; Zr nanoparticles, Ti nanoparticles, Ce nanoparticles, metal-organic polyhedra including Zr, Ti, Ce, or a combination thereof; carbon nanotubes, carbon nanorods, nano graphene, nano graphene oxide; or any combination thereof. The viscosity and viscosity lifetime of fracturing fluids with both crosslinkers and nanomaterials are greater than the sum of the effects of crosslinkers and nanomaterials taken separately. Moreover, this synergistic effect offers significant, practical advantages, including the ability to use salt water rather than fresh water for fracturing fluids, the ability to reduce polymer loading to achieve a desired viscosity, and the ability to achieve better formation cleanup after the fracturing treatment.
