.... The widespread use of resin‐coated proppant (RCP) in offshore wells appears to make this problem worse. Using both case studies and reservoir simulations, we examine why RCP could make the problem of convergent flow worse compared with uncoated proppant. Several North Sea horizontal and deviated multifracture...

...-intensive surface-handling procedures. The development of unmanned platform operations remains impossible in some areas because of proppant backproduction. Flexibility in well turnaround and production strategies also can be very limited. Curable resin-coated proppant (RCP) has provided the most cost...

...L. R. Norman; J. M. Terracina; M. A. McCabe; P. D. Nguyen Summary Laboratory investigation of the interactions between fracturing fluids and resin-coated proppants (RCP's) revealed (among other conclusions) that RCP's are incompatible with oxidizing breakers. Areas covered included RCP effect...

...K. H. Nimerick; S. B. McConnell; M. L. Samuelson Summary This paper describes the additive interaction and/or compatibility of various resin-coated proppants (RCP's) with low-, neutral-, and high-pH water-based fracturing fluids. Solutions are provided for those fluids exhibiting compatibility...
