Abstract
Methods and systems for treating a subterranean formation. The method comprises adding proppant particulates to a fluidized bed granulator; spraying a binding agent on the proppant particulates to at least partially coat the proppant particulates with the binding agent, wherein the coated proppant particulates form proto-aggregates; adding the proto-aggregates to a treatment fluid; and introducing the treatment fluid into a fracture within the subterranean formation.
