Abstract: Embodiments disclosed herein relate to a fluid for use in well treatment having a carrier fluid and a plurality of altered fiber particles having a plurality of defects on a surface of the fiber particles. The fluid may be used for a method of fracturing a subterranean formation. The method includes injecting a fracturing fluid into a wellbore through the subterranean formation, thereby creating a fracture network in the subterranean formation, the fracturing fluid comprising a proppant and a plurality of fibers having a plurality of defects on a surface of the fibers.

Abstract: Methods are described for treating a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore. The methods include injecting a treatment fluid into the wellbore. The treatment fluid has a pH in a range of from about 4.0 to about 9.0, and includes a carrier fluid, a proppant, and a degradable material which can improve proppant carrier properties of the treatment fluid. The degradable material may include stereocomplex polylactic acid, or stereocomplex polylactic acid stabilized by a carbodiimide compound. The degradable material is hydrolytically stable for at least 30 minutes at a temperature of from about 120° C. to about 200° C., or from about 120° C. to about 180° C.

Abstract: A method to treat a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore, comprising: providing a treatment slurry comprising a carrying fluid, a solid particulate, an agglomerant and an agglomerant aid; injecting the treatment slurry into a fracture to form a mixture of the solid particulate and the agglomerant; and transforming the mixture into areas that are rich in solid particulate and areas that are substantially free of solid particulate. Also disclosed are a composition comprised of the carrying fluid, solid particulate, agglomerant and agglomerant aid, as well as a method of designing a well treatment therewith and a system to form conductive channels in a fracture.
