Development and Field Application of a Low pH, Efficient Fracturing Fluid for Tight Gas Fields in the Greater Green River Basin, Wyoming

摘要

Hydraulic fracturing has proven to be one of the best technologies to improve productivity from tight gas wells. In such low- permeability reservoirs, careful consideration must be given to fracturing fluid selection. Some reservoirs are under-pressured and require the use of energized fluids, while others are sensitive to water-based fluids due to clay swelling and migration.
