? Fracturing is an essential stimulation in hydrocarbon exploration and development. Proppant, the core material during fracturing, is the key to increasing the fracturing success rate and stimulating effect. The main function of conventional proppants is to provide and maintain conductive fractures during good production, and proppants must meet closing stress requirements and exhibit resistance to diagenesis under downhole conditions. ? Various proppants of different types, sizes, shapes, and uses have been developed in the oil and gas industry. Proppants, such as sand, ceramic, and resin-coated proppants, are used to keep fractures open to produce hydrocarbons in hydraulic fracturing operations. A fundamental challenge for resin-coated proppants (RCP) lies in their overall thermochemical-mechanical stability at elevated temperatures and pressures in the presence of fracturing fluids. Our goal is to see how it will be implemented economically, the manufacturing process and specifications for resin-coated proppant, and how it differs from other conventional proppants, and so far, resin-coated materials are more suitable for practical downhole conditions because the closing stresses and temperatures help to seal the material at the fracture site for the life of the wellbore it acts as an ideal proppant in many respects and is economically justifiable compared to uncoated proppant.
