ABSTRACT:
A process for disposing of fines produced with a substantially high viscosity oil. The viscosity of the oil will generally be less than 19 API degrees. Produced fines are mixed into a desired hydraulic fracturing fluid which fluid is used to fracture the formation. Once the formation has been fractured, additional fines in slurry form are pumped into the formation.
