Proppant particles formed from slurry droplets and methods of use are disclosed herein. The proppant particles can include a sintered ceramic material and can have a size of about 80 mesh to about 10 mesh and an average largest pore size of less than about 20 microns. The methods of use can include injecting a hydraulic fluid into a subterranean formation at a rate and pressure sufficient to open a fracture therein and injecting a fluid containing a proppant particle into the fracture, the proppant particle including a sintered ceramic material, a size of about 80 mesh to about 10 mesh, and an average largest pore size of less than about 20 microns. 本文公开了由浆滴形成的支撑剂颗粒及其使用方法。支撑剂颗粒可以包含烧结陶瓷材料，并且可以具有约80目至约10目的尺寸和小于约20微米的平均最大孔径。使用方法可以包括以足以在地下岩层中打开裂缝的速率和压力将液压流体注射到地下岩层中，并向所述裂缝中注射含有支撑剂颗粒的流体，所述支撑剂颗粒包含烧结陶瓷材料，具有约为80目至约10目的尺寸和小于约20微米的平均最大孔径。
