Methods of creating high porosity propped fractures in portions of
subterranean formations, including methods of forming a high porosity
propped fracture in a subterranean formation comprising providing a
slurry comprising a fracturing fluid and proppant particulates
substantially coated with an adhesive substance; introducing the slurry
into a portion of a fracture within the subterranean formation; and,
depositing the proppant particulates into the portion of the fracture
within the subterranean formation so as to form a high porosity propped
fracture.
