Abstract: A dual plug system comprises a bottom plug and a top plug. The bottom plug comprises, a bottom plug mandrel, a plurality of first fins, and a first seat. The plurality of first fins is disposed between a first end and a second end of the bottom plug mandrel, and the first seat is disposed at the second end The top plug comprises a first end and a second end. The top plug further comprises a top plug mandrel, a plurality of second fins, a collar, and a sleeve. The plurality of second fins is disposed around the top plug mandrel covering at least a portion of the length of the top plug mandrel, and the collar is coupled to the top plug mandrel The dual plug system further comprises a connector, wherein the connector is coupled to the first end of the top plug.

Abstract: The disclosure provides a dual plug system, comprising a bottom plug, wherein the bottom plug comprises: a bottom plug mandrel; a plurality of first fins; and a first seat; wherein the plurality of first fins is disposed between a first end and a second end of the bottom plug mandrel, wherein the first seat is disposed at the second end; a top plug, wherein the top plug comprises a first end and a second end, wherein the top plug comprises: a top plug mandrel; a plurality of second fins; a collar; and a sleeve; wherein the plurality of second fins is disposed around the top plug mandrel covering at least a portion of the length of the top plug mandrel, wherein the collar is coupled to the top plug mandrel; and a connector, wherein the connector is coupled to the first end of the top plug.

Abstract: Some embodiments provide a method comprising a) introducing a delayed-release acid and a gelling agent into a subterranean formation at a rate and pressure sufficient to create or enhance at least one fracture in a first treatment interval; b) contacting the delayed-release acid with a face of the fracture in the first treatment interval so as to etch one or more channels thereon; c) introducing a combination of non-degradable and degradable micro-proppant particulates into the subterranean formation so as to place them into the fracture in the first treatment interval, wherein they at least partially inhibit fluid flow therethrough; d) introducing a combination of non-degradable and degradable proppant particulates into the subterranean formation so as to place them into the fracture in the first treatment interval, wherein they at least partially inhibit fluid flow therethrough; e) repeating (a) through (d) at a second treatment interval.
