ABSTRACT:
A system and method for delivering a slurry having a fracturing fluid and one or more proppants to a fracture in a subterranean formation. At least one proppant has PPS and produces less than 5 weight percent fines at a closure pressure of the fractured subterranean formation as determined by API RP 60. The one or more proppants are deposited into the fracture to prop the fracture.
