This friction reducing composition is added to aqueous saline fluid for hydraulic fracturing treatment of hydrocarbon wells.
Claims19
A friction reducing composition, comprising a synthetic water-soluble polymer and nanocellulose, added to aqueous saline fluid for hydraulic fracturing treatment of hydrocarbon wells.
A method for treating a well with a fracturing fluid, comprising:
- blending a synthetic water-soluble polymer into a base fluid;
- blending a nanocellulose into the base fluid;
- blending a proppant into the base fluid to form the fracturing fluid;
- and
- injecting the fracturing fluid into a subterranean zone to create fractures.
