Abstract: Methods of ranking formation stabilizer performance are described. The methods include obtaining drill cuttings from a subterranean formation, grinding and sieving the drill cuttings to a particle size larger than 200 mesh, adding a formation stabilizer solution to the ground and sieved drill cuttings to form a mixture, agitating the mixture, and measuring turbidity of the agitated mixture.

Abstract: A method of treating a subterranean formation including suspending proppant particulates in a treatment fluid, wherein the proppant particles include a coating comprising a salt-tolerant, water-swellable polymer, and the treatment fluid includes at least one fluid consisting of fresh water, salt water, seawater, brine, an aqueous salt solution, and combinations thereof; and introducing the treatment fluid containing the settling retardant proppant particulates into the subterranean formation. A composite proppant particle includes a proppant substrate and a salt tolerant polymeric layer deposited on the proppant substrate.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to systems and methods for controlling a hydraulic fracturing job. Systems and methods are provided for receiving diagnostics data of a hydraulic fracturing completion of a wellbore, accessing a fracture formation model that models formation characteristics of fractures formed through the wellbore into a formation surrounding the wellbore during the hydraulic fracturing completion with respect to surface variables of the hydraulic fracturing completion, selecting one or more subsurface objective functions from a plurality of subsurface objective functions for changing one or more of the formation characteristics of the fractures, the one or more subsurface objective functions including an objective function for cluster efficiency, the objective function for cluster efficiency including flow distribution throughout a plurality of clusters of perforations, and applying the fracture formation model based on the diagnostics data to determine values of the surface variables.

Abstract: Aspects of the subject technology relate to systems, methods, and computer-readable media for controlling a hydraulic fracturing job. Diagnostics data of a hydraulic fracturing completion of a wellbore can be received. A fracture formation model that models formation characteristics of fractures formed through the wellbore into a formation surrounding the wellbore during the hydraulic fracturing completion with respect to surface variables can be accessed. A subsurface objective function of fracture complexity can be selected from a plurality of subsurface objective functions for changing one or more of the formation characteristics of the fractures. The fracture formation model can be applied based on the diagnostics data to determine values of the surface variables for controlling the formation characteristics of the fractures to converge on the subsurface objective function of fracture complexity. As follows, a fracture completion plan can be formed based on the values of the surface variables.

Abstract: A fracturing fluid comprises an aqueous base fluid and a cationic polymer combined with a salt. The fracturing fluid may be used to fracture a subterranean formation. The cationic polymer in combination with a salt provides for reduced clay swelling, while maintaining the granularity and porosity of the formation, which thereby promotes the flow of hydrocarbons from the formation.
