ABSTRACT:
Improved methods of propping a fracture in a subterranean zone whereby the subsequent flow-back of the proppant is prevented are provided. The methods basically include the steps of placing a mixture of fibrous bundles and the proppant in the fracture while maintaining the fracture open and then allowing the fracture to close on the mixture of fibrous bundles and proppant.
