One embodiment of the prevent invention provides a method of creating a
high porosity propped fracture comprising creating a slurry comprising a
treatment fluid, proppant particulates, pieces of reticulated foam having
cells, and an adhesive substance such that the adhesive substance at
least partially coats the proppant particulates and such that the
proppant particulates become substantially embedded within the cells of
the reticulated foam; and, depositing at least a portion of the
reticulated foam fragments having proppant particulates embedded therein
in one or more fractures within a portion of a subterranean formation so
as to form a high porosity propped fracture.
