Experimental investigation and performance evaluation of modified viscoelastic surfactant (VES) as a new thickening fracturing fluid

In hydraulic fracturing, fracturing fluids are used to create fractures in a hydrocarbon reservoir throughout transported proppant into the fractures. The application of many fields proves that conventional fracturing fluid has the disadvantages of residue(s), which causes serious clogging of the reservoir's formations and, thus, leads to...
