Self-propped Fractures

Self-Propped Fractures is a fracture conductivity mechanism in well stimulation wherein natural fissures or induced fractures remain open without external proppants through the generation of asperities or uneven surfaces along the fracture walls that prevent complete closure under reservoir stress.
