Fracturing fluid composition and method for in situ generation of geomimetic crystal network proppants

Abstract

A composition for fracking an unconventional reservoir comprising hard water and liquid carbon dioxide that allows in-situ generation of proppant particles, thereby keeping open a larger volume of fractures, as well as increasing hydraulic fracture conductivity, thereby enhancing well production. The composition can act as a triple agent a fracture agent, a carrier agent and a proppant agent. A method for fracturing a rock formation in an unconventional reservoir at high temperature and pressure conditions.
