    • The invention provides economically effective methods for hydraulic fracturing a subterranean formation that ensure improvement of the hydraulic fracture conductivity because of forming strong proppant clusters uniformly placed in the fracture throughout its length. One of these methods comprises: a first stage that involves injection into a borehole of fracturing fluid containing thickeners to create a fracture in the formation; and a second stage that involves periodic introduction of proppant into the injected fracturing fluid to supply the proppant into a created fracture, to form proppant clusters within the fracture to prevent fracture closure and channels for flowing formation fluids between the clusters, wherein the second stage or its sub-stages involve additional introduction of either a reinforcing or consolidation material or both, thus increasing the strength of the proppant clusters formed into the fracture fluid. Another method comprises: a first stage that involves injection of said fracturing fluid into a borehole, and a second stage that involves introduction of proppant into the injected fracturing fluid and further, involving periodic introduction of an agent into the fracturing fluid to provide formation of proppant clusters in the created fracture and channels for flowing formation fluids. Still another method comprises: a first stage that involves injection of a fracturing fluid into a borehole; a second stage that involves continuous introduction of a proppant into the injected fracturing fluid, and a third stage that involves injection of a lower-viscosity, in comparison with fracturing, fluid into the fracturing fluid, the lower-viscosity fluid, owing to the difference in viscosity compared to the fracturing fluid, penetrating into the fracturing fluid in the form of intrusions that divide the proppant into discrete clusters to form channels between them through which formation fluids to pass.
