Abstract: Methods of treating subterranean formations with treatment fluids comprising foam particulates are provided. One embodiment provides a method of fracturing a subterranean formation comprising introducing a fracturing fluid into the subterranean formation at a pressure sufficient to create or enhance at least one fracture therein; providing proppant aggregates themselves comprising proppant particles coated with a binding fluid and having foamed particulates adhered thereto; and placing the proppant aggregates suspended in gelled treatment fluid into at least a portion of the fracture so as to form a proppant pack therein.

Abstract: A method of treating a subterranean formation using low-viscosity subterranean treatment fluids with proppants suspended in gel fragments, including providing a fracturing fluid comprising an aqueous base fluid, a proppant, and swellable micro-gel fragments, wherein the fracturing fluid has a low-viscosity in the range of about 0 to about 800 centipoise; allowing the micro-gel fragments to swell to form a matrix, wherein the proppant is suspended in the fracturing fluid; placing the fracturing fluid in a fracture within the subterranean formation; and allowing the matrix to at least partially degrade in the subterranean formation.

Abstract: A wellbore servicing composition comprising a base fluid, the base fluid comprising a substantially aqueous fluid, a brine, an emulsion, an invert emulsion, an oleaginous fluid, or combinations thereof, a quantity of template assisted crystallization beads, and a wellbore servicing fluid component, the wellbore servicing fluid component comprising a quantity of proppant, a quantity of gravel, or combinations thereof. A wellbore servicing system comprising a flowpath, the flowpath comprising at least one component of wellbore servicing equipment, and a conduit extending from the at least one component of wellbore servicing equipment to a wellbore, and a wellbore servicing fluid disposed within the flowpath, wherein the wellbore servicing fluid comprises a plurality of template assisted crystallization beads.

Abstract: New compositions and methods of using those compositions as protective layers during the production of semiconductor and MEMS devices are provided. The compositions comprise a cycloolefin copolymer dispersed or dissolved in a solvent system, and can be used to form layers that protect a substrate during acid etching and other processing and handling. The protective layer can be photosensitive or non-photosensitive, and can be used with or without a primer layer beneath the protective layer. Preferred primer layers comprise a basic polymer in a solvent system.
