Abstract
The essence of the hydraulic fracturing method for enhancing oil recovery is described. The definition of proppants is given and their average chemical composition is determined. In the process of an analytical review, the article presents proppants that are widely used in the oil industry. For each type of proppant, the main technical characteristics (bulk density and compressive strength) required when using the hydraulic fracturing method have been determined. In the course of the analysis, it was found that all proppant technologies are expensive and it is necessary to select high-quality cheap and affordable materials to reduce the cost of their production. Drilling cuttings from the Morozovskoye field were chosen as one of these materials. Physical and chemical studies of drill cuttings were carried out, on the basis of which a conclusion was made about the possibility of its use in the synthesis of high-quality aluminosilicate proppants.
