Tight reservoirs, characterized by low porosity, low permeability, and difficulty in fluid flow, rely on horizontal wells and large-scale hydraulic fracturing for development. During fracturing, a significant volume of fracturing fluid is injected into the reservoir at a rate far exceeding its absorption capacity. This not only serves to create fractures but also impacts the recovery efficiency of tight reservoirs. Therefore, achieving the integration of fracturing and enhanced recovery functions within the working fluid (fracturing-enhanced recovery integration) becomes particularly crucial. This study describes the concept and characteristics of fracturing-enhanced recovery integration and analyzes the types and features of working fluids. We also discuss the challenges and prospects faced by these fluids. Working fluids for fracturing-enhanced recovery integration need to consider the synergistic effects of fracturing and recovery; meet the performance requirements during fracturing stages such as fracture creation, proppant suspension, and flowback; and also address the demand for increased recovery. The main mechanisms include (1) enlarging the effective pore radius, (2) super-hydrophobic effects, and (3) anti-swelling properties. Fracturing fluids are pumped into fractures through pipelines, where they undergo complex flow in multi-scale fractures, ultimately seeping through capillary bundles. Flow resistance is influenced by the external environment, and the sources of flow resistance in fractures of different scales vary. Surfactants with polymerization capabilities, biodegradable and environmentally friendly bio-based surfactants, crosslinking agents, and amino acid-based green surfactants with outstanding properties will unleash their application potential, providing crucial support for the effectiveness of fracturing-enhanced recovery integration working fluids. This article provides important references for the green, efficient, and sustainable development of tight oil reservoirs.

The thermodynamic instability of traditional aqueous foams stabilized surfactants is the most critical bottleneck for construction of porous material. Herein, a novel strategy was proposed to prepare capillary foam based on chlorella and utilize it as a template for constructing porous materials with high‐efficiency adsorption. The capillary foam, stabilized by chlorella particles enclosed within a gel network of oil bridges connecting the particles (capillary suspension). Chlorella particles, acting as stable particles, form oil bridges and were distributed at the phase interface of the Capillary foam. These particles exhibited resistance to shear force, allowing the formation of long‐term stable Capillary foam. Utilizing this foam as a template, a porous material with outstanding adsorption performance for Methylene Blue (MB) and Brilliant Green (BG) dyes was successfully constructed. Additionally, the material exhibited sustained high adsorption performance even after undergoing 5 thermal regeneration‐adsorption cycles. In conclusion, this study presented a green and straightforward method for constructing capillary foam with high stability, presenting a promising approach for developing porous materials with exceptional adsorption and regeneration properties for dyes.
