The industry has trended toward maximizing com pletion efficiency while attempting to reduce cost as unconventional basin s become more mature. \; One of the most significant levers to pull to accomplish this is the proppant, in particular its size and type. \; A study of the performance of proppants in four shales basins was performe d in 2020 and published in SPE 199751.  \;The study concluded that in all but one basin studied, regional/in-basin sand yielded a higher NPV tha n premium white sand. \; Today there is a growing interest in reducing cost even further, which has focused once again on the proppant. \; T his time the reductions come in the form of wet or unwashed sand. \; W et sand is partially dried after sieving and washed to remove fines, and u nwashed is as its name implies. \; This trend has introduced the poten tial for an increase in turbidity, a measure of the amount of fines presen t in the sand, which could have an impact on conductivity. \; In this presentation, data will be presented that addresses the effects of an incr ease in turbidity on conductivity.
