Abstract:
Fracturing fluid compositions that include at least one viscoelastic surfactant and micro-proppant particulates. The disclosed fracturing fluid compositions provide enhanced delivery and placement of micro-proppant particulates into the microfractures of the complex fracture network while mitigating any potential fracture damage resulting from gel residue. Methods of hydraulic fracturing using the disclosed fracturing fluid compositions are provided.
