Abstract

Hydraulic fracturing is a method to improve reservoir permeability by injecting high-viscosity fluid (polymer) to allow fractures to occur in the formation and fill it with proppant. One factor that influences the success of hydraulic fracturing is the selection of fracturing fluid and its additives. A good fracturing fluid must have a high viscosity to conduct fractures and carry the proppant. In addition, the use of fracturing fluids containing polymers and crosslinkers is used to increase the viscosity, in order to be able to fracture reservoir rocks. However, the polymer contained in the fracturing fluid must be decomposed so as not to leave a residue in the reservoir that can cause clogging of the rock pores and reduce the permeability of the fracture. This research was conducted using a compatibility test between Guar gum-based fracturing fluid with various concentrations of borate crosslinker and two type of breaker. The compatibility tests include residue and proppant carrying performance. There are two types of breakers used in this research, oxidizer and encapsulated breaker. From the results of the analysis, it can be seen that the GF-1A fracturing fluid has the smallest residue of 0.887 gr and the GF-2C fracturing fluid has the best performance of carrying proppant of 0.00012 mm/s.
