Abstract

Systems and methods of optimizing stimulation fluids in the form of a hydrocarbon foam, an emulsion based foam, an emulsion, and a gelled stimulation fluid, each comprising Y-Grade NGL, which is an unfractionated hydrocarbon mixture that comprises ethane, propane, butane, isobutane, and pentane plus, wherein the unfractionated hydrocarbon mixture is a byproduct of a condensed and demethanized hydrocarbon stream.
