Which outcome accelerates in a hydraulic fracturing system when injected fluid viscosity decreases significantly?

💡 Explanation

Premature screen-out occurs because decreased viscosity permits proppant settling due to reduced drag force. This sedimentation leads to blockage via gravity separation rather than even matrix dispersion, therefore screen-out is enhanced, rather than proppant efficiency, if viscosity drops.
