DOI: 10.2118/214692-pa
Abstract: Excellent proppant transport can be accomplished by introducing high-viscosity friction reducer (HVFR) fracture fluids. However, HVFRs face several challenges that prevent these fluids from providing good proppant transport performance, including the presence of total dissolved… read more here.
