Viscoelastic-Surfactant Fracturing Fluids Having Oxidizer - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18362672 titled 'Viscoelastic-Surfactant Fracturing Fluids Having Oxidizer
Simplified Explanation
- The patent application describes a method and fluid for hydraulic fracturing of a geological formation. - The fluid used is a viscoelastic surfactant (VES) fracturing fluid, which contains a surfactant and an inorganic oxidizer salt. - The VES fracturing fluid is injected into the geological formation through a wellbore to create hydraulic fractures. - The method involves using the VES fracturing fluid to oxidize organic material present in the hydraulic fractures. - The purpose of oxidizing the organic material is not explicitly stated in the abstract.
Original Abstract Submitted
A method and hydraulic fracturing fluid that is a viscoelastic surfactant (VES) fracturing fluid having a surfactant and an inorganic oxidizer salt for hydraulic fracturing of a geological formation. The VES fracturing fluid is provided through a wellbore into the geological formation to hydraulically fracture the geological formation to form hydraulic fractures in the geological formation. The method includes oxidizing organic material in the hydraulic fractures with the VES fracturing fluid.
