Royal Oil and Gas Corp. and Halliburton Services have successfully combined proppant concentrations up to 20 ppg and total proppant loads approaching 2 million lb to achieve dramatic production increases in the Olmos formation in McMullen County, Tex. Both water-based gels and gelled oils have been used as carriers for these high concentrations, with water recently becoming more popular for reasons of economy.
