A method of fracturing using deformable proppants minimizes proppant pack damage, without compromising the fracturing fluid's proppant transport properties during pumping, by use of deformable proppants. Selection of proppant is dependent upon the mechanical properties of the formation rock. The strength of the deformable proppant is dependent upon the modulus of the formation rock being treated such that the proppant is capable of providing, at the very least, a minimum level of conductivity in in- situ stress environments. The maximum elastic modulus of the deformable proppant is less than the minimum modulus of the formation rock which is being treated. The method is particularly applicable in fracturing operations of subterranean reservoirs such as those comprised primarily of coal, chalk, limestone, dolomite, shale, siltstone, diatomite, etc.

Méthode de fracturation ayant recours à des agents de soutènement déformables, qui minimise les dommages au remblai de soutènement sans compromettre les propriétés de transport de soutènement des fluides de fracturation lors du pompage, au moyen d'agents de soutènement déformables. La sélection de l'agent de soutènement dépend des propriétés mécaniques de la formation rocheuse. La résistance de l'agent de soutènement déformable dépend des modules de la formation rocheuse traitée, de telle sorte que l'agent de soutènement puisse à tous le moins assurer un niveau minimum de conductivité dans des conditions de contraintes élevées sur place. Le module d'élasticité maximum de l'agent de soutènement déformable est inférieur aux modules minimums de la formation rocheuse traitée. La méthode est particulièrement indiquée pour les opérations de fracturation de réservoirs souterrains comme ceux qui contiennent surtout du charbon, de la craie, du calcaire, de la dolomite, du schiste, de la silite, de la diatomite, etc.
