A review of recent advances in foam-based fracturing fluid application in unconventional reservoirs

Foam-based fracturing fluid application in unconventional reservoirs has recently attracted prodigious attention, due to their high apparent viscosity and ultra-low water contents, which enhanced their potential applications as proppants carrier fluids in water sensitive formations. A comprehensive...
