More Information
Summary:A slurry including a density-tunable aqueous heavy fracturing fluid and a method for completing a hydrocarbon well using such a slurry are provided herein. The slurry includes proppant particulates and the density-tunable aqueous heavy fracturing fluid, where the density-tunable aqueous heavy fracturing fluid includes a bromide-based compound. The density of the density-tunable aqueous heavy fracturing fluid is between 1 gram/cubic centimeter (g/cc) and 3.6 g/cc.
