Carbonated Hydrocarbons For Improved Gas Well Fracturing Results

Abstract: Hydraulic fracturing of reservoirs which demonstrate a tendency for fluid retention, can result in low fluid recovery and poor productivity.

“…This technology has been discussed in previous publications by the authors (1,2) and presents a solution to the relative-permeability limitation by providing a means to rapidly recover most or all of the fracturing fluid. A low interfacial tension (IFT) methane-drive displacement mechanism is achieved by which the produced methane effectively (miscibly or nearly miscibly) displaces the fracturing fluid from the reservoir into the wellbore.…”

Previous studies (1)(2)(3)(4) described the theory and application of CO 2 miscible hydrocarbon fracturing fluids for gas well stimulation. These fluids are ideally suited to gas reservoirs susceptible to phase trapping resulting from high capillary pressures when water-based fluids are used.

“…By 1994, more than 1,000 liquid CO 2 treatments had been performed in Canada, the US and Europe (Tudor 1994). CO 2 is extremely versatile, and may be used with aqueous or non-aqueous base fluids, polymer or viscoelastic surfactant (VES) gel systems, and also miscible hydrocarbon systems (Gruber 1995). A novel emulsified CO 2 / N 2 system has also been developed for extremely water sensitive formations (Gupta 1998).…”
