Abstract

A method of placing particulate blend into a fracture formed in a subterranean formation from a wellbore comprises injecting through the wellbore a first treatment fluid to initiate or propagate the fracture in the subterranean formation; wherein the first treatment fluid comprises a particulate blend slurry; the particulate blend comprising at least a first amount of particulates having a first average particle size between about 100 and 5000 micrometers and at least a second amount of particulates having a second average particle size between about three and twenty times smaller than the first average particle size; injecting through the wellbore a second treatment fluid having a viscosity different from the first treatment fluid; and forming with the particulate blend slurry a plurality of particulate-rich clusters spaced apart by particulate-free regions forming open channels.
