Krishnan, M.R., Li, W., Alharbi, B. and Alsharaeh, E. (2024) ‘Recent developments on in-situ generated proppants for hydraulic fracturing operations: A critical review’, Geoenergy Science and Engineering, 242, pp. 213227. Available at: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geoen.2024.213227.
WHAT THE PAPER ESTABLISHES
The evidence contribution
Maps the principal in-situ proppant strategies, their claimed advantages and the unresolved barriers around placement, phase transition, strength and conductivity.
WHY IT MATTERS TO DISE
This is the most useful current landscape reference for locating DISE within the in-situ generated proppant field. It supports the problem definition and shows why a liquid-to-particle route is credible, while helping distinguish DISE’s droplet-confined polymerisation architecture from bulk phase-transition fluids.
EVIDENCE BOUNDARY
What this reference does not prove
As a review, it synthesises other studies; it does not experimentally validate DISE or establish that the challenge targets can be met simultaneously.
LABORATORY TRANSLATION
How it shapes the DISE programme
01
Use its technology taxonomy to define comparators.
02
Benchmark viscosity, transition time, strength and conductivity claims against the cited systems.
03
State DISE’s novelty at system-integration level, not at the level of every component.
Evidence classification: literature precedent. This page explains relevance to DISE; it does not represent experimental validation of the integrated platform.
