The full-length paper introduces newly developed, select nanosized crystals with unique surface charges and explains how nanoparticie technology pseudocrosslinks viscoelastic surfactant (VES) rod-like micelles together to improve the fluid-loss control and proppant transport of VES fluids to a performance level similar to that of a crosslinked-polymer fluid (CPF|. The nanoparticle-pseudocrosstinked VES-micelle fluid develops a wall-building pseudofilter cake on the face of porous media to control fluid loss.
