Fracturing fluids for treating subterranean formations. An example fracturing fluid includes an anti-syneresis agent, a water-soluble terpolymer, a terpolymer hydration aid, an antioxidizing agent, a metal crosslinking agent, a breaker, and an aqueous base fluid. The fracturing fluid is introduced into a wellbore penetrating the subterranean formation at a pressure sufficient to fracture the subterranean formation and the subterranean formation is fractured with the fracturing fluid.

Anti-syneresis agents for fracturing operations

A method for acidizing a subterranean formation may include: preparing a water-in-oil emulsion comprising a non-polar phase, a polar phase, an emulsifier an acid, and a drag reducing agent; pumping the water-in-oil emulsion into a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation above a fracture gradient of the subterranean formation to create or extend at least one fracture in the subterranean formation.
