ABSTRACT:
A fused refractory crystal for propping an induced fracture in a formation to obtain increased heat transfer. The crystal is of a size sufficient to keep said fracture open while providing for increased heat to be transferred into the formation. Increased heat is transferred into the formation via the crystal due to the substantially increased thermal conductivity capacity of the crystal. These crystals are particularly beneficial when used as proppants while fracturing a formation when a subsequent thermal oil recovery method is used. The efficiency of a thermal oil recovery method is substantially increased due to the ability of said crystals to conduct heat.
