Analyzing the Benefits of Designing a Multifunctional Surfactant Blend From Laboratory Scale to Field Scale in Hydraulic Fracturing under High-Salinity Conditions: A Case Study of the Mississippian Limestone Play
Abstract:Summary
Surfactants are typically used in hydraulic fracturing applications to perform a single function, which results in multiple surfactants being used during operations. In this study, flow loop and coreflood tests were conducted with slickwater fracturing fluid systems and analyzed in conjunction to observe the effectiveness of flowback surfactants and their ability to increase friction reducer performance. A multifunctional surfactant blend (MSB) is tested against surfactant formulations c… Show more
