    摘要: Methods of fracturing a subterranean formation include providing a fracturing fluid having a first pH. The fracturing fluid may be made by combining a gelling agent, a surfactant, and a proppant. The surfactant is capable of facilitating foaming of the fracturing fluid at the first pH and defoaming of the fracturing fluid when its pH is changed to a second pH. The methods of fracturing the subterranean formation further include foaming the fracturing fluid having the first pH and subsequently pumping it to the subterranean formation to fracture the formation. The pH of the fracturing fluid changes to a second pH, for example via in situ contact with an acidic material, causing the level of foam in the fracturing fluid to be reduced. As a result of the reduction of the foam, the fracturing fluid deposits the proppant into the fractures formed in the subterranean formation.

    摘要: Fracturing fluids and methods of fracturing a subterranean formation using such fluids are provided. A fracturing fluid having a first pH is foamed by introducing a gas to the fluid. The fracturing fluid comprises a surfactant that facilitates formation of the foam at the first pH. The foamed fracturing fluid is subsequently pumped to the subterranean formation to fracture it. The pH of the fracturing fluid is then changed to a second pH at which the surfactant facilitates reduction of the foam. The fracturing fluid releases proppant contained in the fluid to the subterranean formation. The fracturing fluid is then allowed to flow back to the surface. It can be recycled by changing the pH of the fracturing fluid back to the first pH and adding a gas to the fluid, causing it to foam again.
