Research on the Progress of Water-Based Fracturing Fluid Thickening Agent
Thickener is one of the main additives of water-based fracturing fluid,and its excellent performance largely determines the performance of the fracturing fluid,while thickeners are broadly divided into natural plants and their modified thickeners,which are less harmful to the natural environment,and polymeric thickeners,which can be used for on-site mixing of fracturing fluid for different geological conditions.This paper focuses on the performance of natural plant modified thickeners,microbial polysaccharides,and polymeric thickeners,and provides a review of the various types of thickeners to provide a theoretical basis for subsequent research in this area.
