Water-soluble polymers, as thickeners, are the vital component of high temperature-resistant
fracturing fluids. With the expansion of oil and gas exploration and development to deep …

Hydraulic fracturing uses a large amount of fresh water for its operation; conventional wells
can consume up to 200 000 gallons of water, while unconventional wells could consume up …

The double tailed hydrophobic monomer PMB-16 was synthesized by the reaction of
phenylethylamine, 1-bromohexadecane and methacryloyl chloride. The ternary hydrophobic …

Freshwater is usually used in hydraulic fracturing as it is less damaging to the formation and
is compatible with the chemical additives. In recent years, seawater has been the subject of …

Hydraulic fracturing operations are performed to enhance well performance and to achieve
economic success from improved production rates and the ultimate reserve recovery. To …

Accurate prediction of dynamic thermal behaviors during multi-stage hydraulic fracturing is
profound which can avoid performance deterioration of fracturing fluids or failure of …

Development of low-cost, high-temperature-resistant and salt-resistant fracturing fluids is a
hot and difficult issue in reservoir fluids modification. In this study, an organic zirconium …

A combination of moderate apparent viscosity, temperature resistance, and low damage is
highly desired for fracturing fluids used in high-temperature reservoirs. The aim of this study …

In this work, based on theory and experiment the fracturing fluid additives are developed,
including thickener, crosslinker, pH regulator and temperature stabilizer. The effect of …

In this paper, we present the results of the rheometric properties of a guar-based fracturing
fluid containing amino-acid clay stabilizers. Four amino acids, glycine, proline, alanine, and …
