Fibers as drag-reducing propping fibers in low permeability subterranean applications

摘要

Some embodiments described herein provide a method comprising providing a wellbore in a low permeability subterranean formation; providing a treatment fluid comprising an aqueous base fluid and drag-reducing propping fibers; introducing the treatment fluid into the wellbore at a rate and pressure sufficient to create or enhance at least one micro-fracture therein, wherein the drag- reducing propping fibers are capable of reducing the friction created within the treatment fluid as it is introduced into the wellbore; and placing the drag- reducing propping fibers into the at least one micro-fracture so as to prop open the micro-fracture.
