| 20110177982 | APPARATUS, COMPOSITIONS, AND METHODS OF BREAKING FRACTURING FLUIDS - Apparatus and compositions for reducing the viscosity of a gelled fluid is provided. In one embodiment, a viscosity reducing microbe is disposed in a capsule and added to the gelled fluid. The gelled fluid may include a thickening agent adapted to increase its viscosity. Upon release from the capsule, the microbe begins to digest the thickening agent in the gelled fluid and/or releases enzymes that that breakdown the thickening agent. | 07-21-2011 |
