Treatment fluids and associated methods for treating a subterranean formation. An example method includes introducing a treatment fluid into a wellbore penetrating the subterranean formation. The treatment fluid includes an oleofuransulfonate surfactant; a treatment fluid additive capable of interaction with a cation; and an aqueous fluid. The cation is present in the treatment fluid or contacts the treatment fluid. The method further includes solvating the treatment fluid additive with the oleofuransulfonate surfactant.

Oleofuransulfonate surfactants for use in wellbore applications

Fracturing fluids and liquid concentrate proppant slurry compositions comprising high-density micro-proppants and low-density particulates in a single treatment fluid. The low-density particulates enhance the suspension of the high-density particulates resulting in improved vertical distribution and longitudinal transport and coverage in the complex fracture network. Methods of hydraulic fracturing using the disclosed fracturing fluids and liquid concentrate proppant slurries as well as methods of preparing liquid concentrate proppant slurries with improved storage properties, are provided.

Micro-proppant fracturing fluid and slurry concentrate compositions

The composition provided herein includes an aqueous base fluid, a water-based polymer and glass microspheres comprising a metal cross-linking agent and where the water-based polymer cross-links in the presence of the glass microspheres.

Rheology modifier

Methods including introducing a treatment fluid into a subterranean formation having at least one fracture therein, the treatment fluid comprising an aqueous base fluid and brush photopolymerized coated proppant particulates (bPCPPs), and placing the bPCPPs into the at least one fracture to form a proppant pack therein. The bPCPPs comprise proppant modified with a coupling agent photopolymerized to a derivatized hydrophilic polymer, thereby resulting in a brush polymer structure of the derivatized hydrophilic polymer extending from the proppant.
