METHODS OF TREATING A SUBTERRANEAN FORMATION WITH FRICTION REDUCING CLAYS

摘要

Methods of treating a subterranean formation including providing a treatment fluid comprising an aqueous base fluid and a friction reducing clay; wherein the friction reducing synthetic clay is a phyllosilicate clay selected from the group consisting of a phyllosilicate smectite group clay; a phyllosilicate serpentine group clay; a phyllosilicate pyrophyllite-talc group clay; a phyllosilicate mica group clay; a phyllosilicate chlorite group clay; and any combinations thereof, and placing the treatment fluid into the subterranean formation.
