Investigation of oil and gas wells considering applied hydraulic fracturing fluid systems

Hydraulic fracturing was developed by the oil and gas industry as a way to hydrocarbon production as multi-stage fracturing has been used to increase in horizontal wells since 1945 Linear or crosslinked guar gums are the most frequently fluids in the traditional fracturing such liquids to open fractures and propagates conveyed proppant in the fractures. Proppant are generally used to form a thin layer between the fracture surfaces to support the fractures at the end of the crushing process open. Concerns Regarding fracture conductivity damages found by viscous liquids in extremely tight formations in unconventional reservoirs, prompting the industry to develop an alternative fracturing fluid as "slick water
