Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to a system and methods for stimulation with particle-stabilized emulsion treatment fluids during hydraulic fracturing operations. A treatment fluid is disclosed, the treatment fluid including a continuous fluid phase, a dispersed fluid phase dispersed throughout the continuous fluid phase, a surfactant, and a plurality of solid particles adsorbed to an interface between the continuous and dispersed fluid phases thereby stabilizing the dispersed fluid phase in the continuous fluid phase. A method for treating a subterranean formation is disclosed, the method including providing a treating fluid comprising a plurality of solid particles adsorbed to an interface between a continuous fluid phase and a dispersed fluid phase, thereby stabilizing the continuous and dispersed fluid phases, and pumping the treating fluid under pressure via a pump to invert the emulsion so that at least a portion of the solid particles are deposited in the subterranean formation.
