Abstract: An aqueous cross-linking suspension composition having brine, water-soluble suspending agent and borate cross-linker in a single package and methods for using the package composition for increasing the efficiency of fracturing subterranean formations and effectively delivering borate cross-linkers.
Abstract: The present disclosure relates to compositions and methods for recovery of hydrocarbons from subterranean formations. The compositions may be dry blends of synthetic and naturally derived polymers. The blend compositions may also be produced as high activity solvent-based fluidized polymer suspensions. Either in dry or liquid forms, the blend compositions provide higher proppant carrying capacity in comparison to conventional solutions, as well as improved breakability and crosslinking capacity.
