20140027121 | METHOD FOR HYDRAULICALLY FRACTURING A SUBTERRANEAN RESERVOIR - A method for hydraulically fracturing a subterranean reservoir. A fracturing fluid comprising a clay stabilizer is provided at an uphole temperature. The uphole temperature allows the fracturing fluid to be for provided at a downhole temperature in the reservoir greater than a cloud point of hydrocarbons in the reservoir. The fracturing fluid is injected into the reservoir at a controlled injection rate to propagate a fracture in the reservoir and mitigate vertical height growth of the fracture. Proppant is introduced into the fracturing fluid to provide a fracturing slurry. The fracturing slurry is injected into the reservoir at the controlled injection rate to prop the fracture. | 01-30-2014 |
