Patent Classification: ["166", "280100"]

Abstract:
Proppant aggregates comprising proppant particulates and a binding agent, wherein the proppant aggregate exhibits a conductivity of less than about 3000 millidarcy-feet when exposed to aggregate operational conditions, the aggregate operational conditions having a closure stress of at least about 100 pounds per square inch and a temperature of at least about 10° C.

Claim (Index 10):
The method of  claim 1 , wherein the proppant aggregate further has a crush resistance of less than about 90% when exposed to the aggregate operational conditions, and wherein the crush resistance of the proppant aggregate is determined by a crush resistance test comprising:\n (A) coating the binding agent onto the proppant particulates, thereby forming coated proppant particulates; (B) packing the coated proppant particulates into a crush resistance testing cell; (C) forming at least one channel in the crush resistance testing cell; (D) exposing the crush resistance testing cell to the aggregate operational conditions, thereby forming the proppant aggregate, wherein the proppant aggregate comprises between 1% and 99% of the cross-sectional area of the crush resistance testing cell and the remainder forms the at least one channel; and\n (E) measuring the crush resistance of the proppant aggregate.
