  • INJECTION AND HYDRAULIC FRACTURING FLUIDS CONTAINING ZWITTERIONIC SURFACTANTS AND RELATED METHODS
    Publication number: 20240132774
    Abstract: A method of the present disclosure for fracturing a subterranean formation (e.g., an unconventional formation) may include: injecting a fracturing fluid into the subterranean formation at a pressure sufficient to hydraulically fracture the subterranean formation. Said fracturing fluid may comprise an aqueous fluid and a zwitterionic surfactant at a concentration of less than or equal to a critical micelle concentration.
