However, the combined application of microbial polysaccharides and surfactants under high-temperature and high-salinity conditions remain poorly understood. In this study, we innovatively investigate this problem with a particular focus on foam stabilization mechanisms. By employing the Waring blender method, the optimal surfactant-microbial polysaccharide blends are identified, and the foam stability, rheological properties, and decay behavior in different systems under varying conditions are systematically analyzed for the first time. The results reveal that microbial polysaccharides significantly enhance foam stability by improving the viscoelasticity of the liquid films, particularly under high-salinity and high-temperature conditions, leading to notable improvements in both foam stability and sand-carrying capacity. Additionally, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is used to observe the microstructure of the foam liquid films, demonstrating that the network structure formed by the foam stabilizer within the liquid film effectively inhibits foam coarsening. The Lauryl betaine and Diutan gum blend (LAB+MPS04) exhibits outstanding foam stability, superior sand-carrying capacity, and minimal core damage, making it ideal for applications in enhanced production and reservoir stimulation of unconventional reservoirs.","PeriodicalId":45349,"journal":{"name":"FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing","volume":"21 6","pages":"1397-1416"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147915930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This has driven growing interest in the development of clean fracturing fluids that minimize both water usage and formation impairment. In this study, a low-liquid-content viscoelastic surfactant (VES) foam fracturing fluid system was formulated and evaluated through laboratory experiments. The optimized formulation comprises 0.2% foaming agent CTAB (cetyltrimethylammonium bromide) and 2% foam stabilizer EAPB (erucamidopropyl betaine). Laboratory tests demonstrated that the VES foam system achieved a composite foam value of 56,700 mL·s, reflecting excellent foaming performance. Proppant transport experiments revealed minimal variation in suspended sand volume over 120 min across different sand ratios, indicating robust sand-carrying capacity even at high proppant concentrations. Rheological measurements showed that the fluid maintained a viscosity above 120 mPa·s after 120 min of shearing at 70°C and a shear rate of 170 s−1, with the elastic modulus exceeding the viscous modulus, confirming the system’s exceptional stability and resilience. Furthermore, core damage tests indicated that the VES foam caused only 4.42% formation damage, highlighting its potential for efficient and low-damage stimulation of tight reservoirs. Overall, the findings demonstrate that this low-liquid-content VES foam provides a highly effective, environmentally considerate alternative for hydraulic fracturing in unconventional formations, combining superior proppant transport, rheological stability, and minimal reservoir impairment.","PeriodicalId":45349,"journal":{"name":"FDMP-Fluid Dynamics & Materials Processing","volume":"21 10","pages":"2539-2556"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147922263","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
