    摘要: A composition for fracturing a wellbore may include a reacting fluid. The reacting fluid includes an encapsulated breaker, sodium nitrite, and an ammonium-comprising compound. The sodium nitrite and the ammonium-comprising compound undergo an exothermic reaction producing heat operable to release the encapsulated breaker, releasing the breaker that then reduces viscosity in the polymer-comprising fluid. A method for fracturing a wellbore may include injecting into a fractured wellbore a fluid comprising an ammonium-comprising compound and a fluid comprising sodium nitrite. The fractured wellbore has been fractured with a fracturing fluid comprising an encapsulated breaker. Sodium nitrite and the ammonium-comprising compound undergo an exothermic chemical reaction that generates heat to release the encapsulated breaker.

    摘要: A method comprising: introducing a first fluid into a wellbore above a fracture gradient of a subterranean formation penetrated by the wellbore to create a first plurality of fractures within a first portion of the subterranean formation; introducing a second fluid comprising at least one acid component into the wellbore above the fracture gradient of the subterranean formation penetrated by the wellbore to create a second plurality of fractures within a second portion of the subterranean formation; allowing the second fluid to enter at least one natural fracture in the first or second portion of the subterranean formation allowing the acid component to dissolve at least a portion of the subterranean formation to form one or more induced fractures in fluidic communication with the natural fracture, at least some of the first plurality of fractures, and at least some of the second plurality of fractures.
