ABSTRACT:
A controlled pulse fracturing (CPF) process conducted with the addition of a proppant. Said proppant can comprise sand or similar material which is injected into the fluid adjacent to the perforations. Upon ignition of the CPF device, said proppant is injected into the created fractures, thereby propping said fractures open. This causes a production increase from the well. Said fluid can comprise water, a gel, a thixotropic fluid, or similar type fluids.
