Formation Maintenance Fluids with Flowback Enhancers to Improve Wellbore Operations

A formation maintenance fluid comprising:

• an operations fluid;
• and
• a flowback enhancer comprising:
• a surfactant package comprising:
• a surfactant;
• a solvent, and
• a co-solvent, wherein the co-solvent is an alcohol comprising a carbon chain of between 5 and 10 carbon atoms;
• and
• a wellbore protectant selected from the group consisting of scale inhibitors, clay hydration inhibitors, fines control agents, and combinations of the same.

A method of performing a wellbore operation comprising:

• providing a formation maintenance fluid comprising:
• an operations fluid;
• and
• a flowback enhancer comprising:
• a surfactant package comprising a surfactant, a solvent, and a co-solvent;
• and
• a wellbore protectant selected from the group consisting of scale inhibitors, clay hydration inhibitors, fines control agent, and combinations of the same;
• and
• deploying the formation maintenance fluid downhole to accomplish the wellbore operation.
