Abstract: A method of stimulating the inflow of oil and/or gas from the wellbore, in particular, a hydraulic fracturing method, is disclosed. The method of hydraulic fracturing comprises the stages: injecting a slug of a proppant-free fluid through the well into a formation for hydraulic fracture creation and propagation; injecting a slug of proppant-laden slurry into the formation to create a proppant pack in the hydraulic fracture; injecting a slug of slurry that contains a fluid and the polyelectrolyte complex-based proppant aggregates to create permeable channels in the near-wellbore area of the hydraulic fracture; injecting a slug of a displacement fluid into the well. This sequence of operations allows avoiding the proppant slurry overdisplacement deep into the hydraulic fracture, maintaining high fracture conductivity, and increasing the well productivity.

Abstract: This method is designed to facilitate the well treatment with the possibilities for non-uniform/heterogeneous proppant placement in the extended and branched fractures produced by hydraulic fracturing. The essence of the method is to inject a proppant-bearing gel into the wellbore drilled into a productive formation. The low-viscosity fracturing fluid is injected into the wellbore together with the gel fluid (simultaneously or in turns). The method also provides for the injection of gas into the proppant-bearing gel and/or the low-viscosity fluid. The gas can be injected upstream of the junction point, at the junction point, or downstream of the junction point of the flows of the proppant-bearing gel and the low-viscosity fluid. The method further provides for the division of the gel fluid into the separate agglomerates with their subsequent injection into the fractures in the subterranean formation to form the proppant structures in the fracture.

Abstract: According to the claimed method, fracturing fluid is injected into a well containing a plurality of perforated intervals to create, and facilitate the propagation of, a hydraulic fracture in at least one of the perforated intervals; then, the suspension containing insoluble degradable material, oppositely charged polyelectrolytes and/or their precursors is injected into the well; at the same time, a degradable viscous phase, non-miscible with fracturing fluid, is formed from the oppositely charged polyelectrolytes and/or their precursors; a degradable plug is formed in at least one of the perforated intervals, fracture, or wellbore; diversion of the fracturing fluid flow to the next perforated interval is provided with subsequent plug degradation in at least one of the perforated intervals, fracture, or wellbore within the required time.

Abstract: A method to improve fluid flow in a hydraulic fracture from a subterranean formation which includes the steps of (1) formulating a slurry which comprises (a) proppant particles, (b) a carrier fluid, and (c) low density particles, wherein the fluid is capable of undergoing a transformation to cause an agglomeration of two or more proppant particles and/or low density particles; and (2) injecting the slurry into the formation; and (3) the agglomeration of the proppant particles and/or low density particles, is provided.
