Abstract

Hydraulic fracturing is a technique widely employed around the world to
enhance the productivity of low-permeability wells. Hydraulic fracturing
is performed by injecting a high-viscosity fluid capable of fracturing rocks
and transporting proppant. A water-based fracturing fluid is the most
commonly utilized fracturing fluid. This fluid is made up of water,
polymeric minerals, crosslinks, breakers, and a variety of additional
additives that are customized to the properties of the rock and fluid being
penetrated. The existence of residues created by polymers that do not
entirely break down after the fracture process is a common issue when
using water-based fracturing fluids. In addition, the use of different water
sources, such as the use of production water with complex ion content,
affects both the residue and the rheology of the resulting gelling fluid. The
fracturing fluid will also interact with the mineral reservoir rock, which
contains clay minerals in varying amounts. This interaction can result in
fines migration and clay swelling, which can increase the formation
damage and impair permeability during hydraulic fracturing. The
presence of residue, fines migration and clay swelling are a source of
formation damage which can reduce permeability after hydraulic
fracturing, better known as return permeability. This article reviews the
formation damage in hydraulic fracturing caused by water based
fracturing fluid comprises residues caused by interactions between
polymeric materials and other additives, as well as clay issues such as
fines migration and clay swelling. Comprehensive knowledge is needed
regarding the factors that cause formation damage and return permeability
caused by water based fracturing fluid, so that hydraulic fracturing will
increase well productivity.
