... polymer system can be used in slickwater hydraulic fracturing and linear gel applications, laboratory testing also showed that it can be effectively crosslinked with conventional metal crosslinkers. This paper investigates the possibility of using this new polymer as a total package to be applied...

... Abstract Slickwater hydraulic fracturing is commonly used to stimulate unconventional formations, including many shale reservoirs. Large volumes of water and additives are pumped downhole at high rates to propagate the fractures and delay proppant settling. At high flow velocities, proppants...
