Abstract
Methods for producing proppants with a nanocomposite proppant coating are provided. The methods include coating the proppant particles with a nano-reinforcing agent, a surface modifier, and a resin to produce proppants with nanocomposite proppant coating. Additionally, a proppant comprising a proppant particle and a nanocomposite proppant coating is provided. The nanocomposite proppant coating includes a nano-reinforcing agent, a surface modifier, and a resin. The nanocomposite proppant coating coats the proppant particle. Additionally, a method for increasing a rate of hydrocarbon production from a subsurface formation through the use of the proppants is provided.
