Abstract
Systems and methods for enhancing hydraulic fracturing productivity for recovery of a reservoir fluid from a reservoir formation having an open fracture includes providing a shape memory filter that is pseudoelastically deformed and contained within a soluble container. The shape memory filter and soluble container are pumped into the open fracture so that the soluble container dissolves and the shape memory filter returns to an expanded filter shape. A proppant is pumped into the open fracture so that the proppant is trapped by the shape memory filter and forms a column across the open fracture.
