LOW RESIDUE FLUID FRACTURING SYSTEM AND METHOD OF USE

摘要

A fluid system for hydraulic fracturing operations which comprises a low residue fluid that facilitates the clean up of the wellbore following the treatment is disclosed. The system includes a surfactant compound that forms micelles above a critical concentration. Under certain conditions the addition of an associative thickener compound yields a networ k based on hydrophobic interactions. The resulting viscous fluid can transport proppant s, be applied neat or as a foamed or energized system, or used in an acidizing treatment. The flui d system may further include a breaker additive.
