Abstract
Formulations for fracturing fluids are prepared by mixing a granulated water-soluble friction reducing polymer with an invert polymer emulsion friction reducing formulation optionally in the presence of an organophilic clay, without the need for specialized field equipment. The mixture can be dosed into water to produce a fracturing fluid which is found to be technically highly advantageous and cost-effective.
