Hydraulic fracturing is the main operation to stimulate wells and starts with pumping fracturing fluids into the well to raise bottom hole pressure above formation fracturing pressure. Once a fracture is induced, a slurry with proppant is injected to keep flow path open for reservoir fluids towards the wellbore at a higher rate. Due to the high expense of conventional proppant types that reaches up to 40% of the stimulation job, the need for new proppants has become a very important topic of research. This research comprises an experimental study to characterize a proppant prepared from Polymer Nano-composite materials added to the rice husk to act as a possible propping agent. The physical and mechanical properties are investigated, and a fracture conductivity test is implemented to characterize the efficiency of the new proppant material. The experimental results are compared to the commonly known walnut hull proppant (ULW-1.25) and Chemically Modified and Reinforced Composite Proppant (CMRCP). The new polymer Nano-composite proppant showed promising results according to the established ISO/API standards. These results may lead to a consequent improvement towards high strength Nano-composite proppants for applications in hydraulic fracturing operations and other petroleum engineering applications.
