Abstract:
Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for increasing recovery of hydrocarbon compounds from hydrocarbon-containing subterranean fractured rock formations. Novel emulsions and fracturing fluids are provided. The fracturing fluids convert oil-wet rocks to water-wet, yet exhibit a low tendency of composition components to sorb to the rock. The fracturing fluids do not cause formation of emulsions with hydrocarbon compounds within the subterranean fractured rock formations.
