Various embodiments disclosed relate to methods of obtaining data from a subterranean formation and systems for performing the method. In various embodiments, the present invention provides a method of obtaining data from a subterranean formation including obtaining or providing first proppant particles and second proppant particles. The first proppant particles can have a particle size of about 0.2 mm to about 10 mm. The second proppant particles can have a particle size of about 0.010 μm to about 199 μm. The method can include placing the first and second proppant particles into a subterranean formation. In the subterranean formation, at least part of at least one of the first and second proppant particles can be electroconductive proppant particles. The method can include transmitting at least one of an electric current and an electromagnetic signal to at least part of the electroconductive proppant particles. The method can also include detecting at least one of an electric current and an electromagnetic signal at least partially reflected by or conducted through the electroconductive proppant particles. |
