Abstract
The present disclosure provides hydrocarbon-bearing formation treatment fluid compositions and systems in addition to methods of hydraulic fracturing a hydrocarbon-bearing formation and/or mitigating well-to-well communication between an infill well and an adjacent offset well.
Claims23
A water-based hydraulic fracturing treatment fluid system comprising:
- a) a first component comprising metal proppants having a size from about 0.1 microns to about 2000 microns;
- and
- b) a second component comprising an exergonic gas generating promoter.
11-13. (canceled)
A water-based hydraulic fracturing treatment fluid composition comprising:
- a) metal proppants having a size from about 0.1 microns to about 2000 microns;
- and
- b) an exergonic gas generating promoter.
23-24. (canceled)
A method of hydraulic fracturing a hydrocarbon-bearing formation, the method comprising:
- a1) injecting a water-based fluid into the formation;
- and
- b1) injecting metal proppants into the formation, and injecting an exergonic gas generating promoter into the formation;
- thereby generating a slow exergonic gas generation reaction downhole;
- or
- a2) injecting a water-based fluid into the formation;
- and
- b2) mixing a first component comprising metal proppants with a second component comprising an exergonic gas generating promoter at the surface of the formation to form a composition, and injecting the composition into the formation;
- thereby generating a slow exergonic gas generation reaction downhole.
