Abstract
A hydraulic fracture fluid is provided. The fluid can include a liquid solvent, one or more surfactants, a proppant-forming compound, and one or more curing agents. The liquid reacts to form proppant in-situ under downhole conditions.
Claims14
A method of hydraulic fracturing comprising
- formulating a hydraulic fracturing fluid comprising
- a liquid solvent,
- at least one surfactant,
- a liquid phase proppant-forming compound, and
- at least one curing agent;
- injecting the hydraulic fracturing fluid into a wellbore;
- wherein the proppant is generated from a liquid system in-situ under down hole conditions;
- and wherein the liquid phase proppant-forming compound forms pillars in a two-dimensional structure capable of maintaining conductive fractures in the downhole environment.
