Modifying Proppant Surface with Superhydrophobic Coating to Enhance Fracture Conductivity

<p> Superhydrophobic coating reduces the fluid/solid interaction leading to ultra-hydrophobicity or the Lotus effect. The objective of this study is to determine how this phenomenon can be applied in petroleum production systems to enhance fluid flow in propped fractures using superhydrophobic...
