| 20110284230 | LIQUIFIED PETROLEUM GAS FRACTURING METHODS - Methods of tailoring a hydrocarbon fracturing fluid for a subterranean formation are disclosed. Fluid in the subterranean formation has a fluid temperature. A first critical temperature of a hydrocarbon fluid is adjusted to a critical temperature above the fluid temperature by adding a liquefied petroleum gas component to the hydrocarbon fluid to produce the hydrocarbon fracturing fluid. The liquefied petroleum gas component has a second critical temperature, and the hydrocarbon fluid comprises liquefied petroleum gas. A hydrocarbon fracturing fluid made by these methods are also disclosed. Methods of treating a subterranean formation are also disclosed. A hydrocarbon fracturing fluid is introduced into the subterranean formation, the hydrocarbon fracturing fluid having a critical temperature that is above a fluid temperature of the hydrocarbon fracturing fluid when the hydrocarbon fracturing fluid is in the subterranean formation. The hydrocarbon fracturing fluid is subjected to pressures above the formation pressure. | 11-24-2011 |
| 20110143971 | VOLATILE-PHOSPHORUS FREE GELLING AGENTS - A gelling agent for a hydrocarbon fracturing fluid is disclosed, comprising the general formula of: in which X is an OR | 06-16-2011 |
| 20110105370 | BREAKERS FOR GELLED FRACTURING FLUIDS - A fracturing fluid for a downhole environment is disclosed, comprising a water-sensitive gel; and a hydrated breaker. A fracturing fluid for a downhole environment is also disclosed, the fracturing fluid comprising a water-sensitive carrier and a breaker, the breaker comprising one or more hydrates, and wherein water of the one or more hydrates is releasable so as to act with the water-sensitive carrier to reduce the viscosity of the fluid. A method of treating a downhole environment with a fracturing fluid is also disclosed, the method comprising: providing to the downhole environment a fluid comprising a water-sensitive carrier and a breaker, the breaker comprising one or more hydrates; and allowing water from the one or more hydrates to release so as to act with the carrier to reduce the viscosity of the fluid. | 05-05-2011 |
