CA 2735428

The present invention provides hydrocarbon-based fracturing fluid compositions comprising a hydrocarbon fluid, proppant, and a small amount of water, and methods of using same. The small amount of water, preferably present at a concentration ranging from about 0.1 to 5%, causes water bridging between the proppant particulates, causing the proppant particles to agglomerate. The compositions are useful in mitigating proppant flowback in hydraulic fracturing operations and are useful in isolating one or more zones in vertical as well as horizontal wells having multiple pay zones.
