Abstract
Treatment fluids (e.g., fracturing fluids) comprising ionic water, and associated methods of use are provided. In one embodiment, the methods comprise providing a treatment fluid comprising an aqueous base fluid comprising one or more ionic species, a polymeric viscosifying agent carrying a first ionic charge, and an ionic surfactant carrying a second ionic charge that is the opposite of the first ionic charge; and introducing the treatment fluid into a well bore penetrating at least a portion of a subterranean formation.
