Described herein are compositions and methods that stabilize an injection fluid when exposed to reservoir conditions, reducing formation damage and increasing the amount of hydrocarbon recovered. Specifically, the formulation is a single-phase liquid surfactant package which comprises an anionic surfactant and optionally one or more secondary surfactants.

Injection fluids comprising an anionic surfactant for treating unconventional formations

Embodiments of the disclosure include compositions and methods that stabilize a injection fluid when exposed to reservoir conditions, reducing formation damage and increasing the amount of hydrocarbon recovered. Specifically, the formulation is a single-phase liquid surfactant package which comprises a surfactant and optionally one or more secondary surfactants. Also provided are methods of using the stabilized injection fluids in stimulation operations.

Injection fluids for stimulating fractured formations

Embodiments of the disclosure include compositions and methods that stabilize a injection fluid when exposed to reservoir conditions, reducing formation damage and increasing the amount of hydrocarbon recovered. Specifically, the formulation is a single-phase liquid surfactant package which comprises a non-ionic surfactant and optionally one or more secondary surfactants.

Injection fluids comprising a non-ionic surfactant for treating unconventional formations

Described herein are compositions and methods that stabilize an injection fluid when exposed to reservoir conditions, reducing formation damage and increasing the amount of hydrocarbon recovered. Specifically, the formulation is a single-phase liquid surfactant package which comprises an anionic surfactant including a hydrophobic tail comprising from 6 to 60 carbon atoms and optionally one or more secondary surfactants.
