Its origin and application in hydraulic fracturing can be traced back to the 1960's. However, advances in fracturing fluid chemistry and breaker technology have improved dramatically creating new systems such as crosslinked methanol, the subject of this paper. Methanol has been utilized in the well stimulation industry for many years to take advantage of its low surface tension properties and miscibility with various formation fluids. This paper will discuss advances in crosslinked methanol system technology, system compatabilities, field application and practical safety precautions. The fluid system rheological properties and proper breaker application will be discussed as well.In recent years, the industry has become more aware of the challenges associated with formations recognized as "water sensitive". These issues can be associated with mobile and swelling clays, or undersaturation of the formation, otherwise known as aqueous phase trapping. The paper will discuss these issues as they pertain to proper fluid selection and more specifically, the selection of crosslinked methanol as a fracturing fluid.Formation properties of zones treated with crosslinked methanol will be presented as well as post fracture treatment results.IntroductionCrosslinked anhydrous methanol is an excellent fracture fluid system comprised of approximately 96%-100% pure methanol developed to stimulate low permeability water sensitive formations. In the late 1960's, fracturing fluid systems incorporating carbon dioxide (CO2) and methanol saw wide usage and some success in fracturing applications. These systems were used in an attempt to place proppant into a hydraulically induced fracture without the potential damage associated with water on "tight" formations displaying water sensitive tendencies. In the early 1970's, certain patents were awarded for a methanol fluid system termed "Vapor Frac," which consisted of transporting propping agents in gelled alcohol and CO21. This system was used for several years with varying degrees of success due to limited sand transport capabilities and poor fluid leak-off properties. In 1980, the first crosslinked methanol system was introduced to the industry. However, at this time the system incorporated 80% pure methanol and 20% water. While this system was compatible with CO2, it did not fully address the water sensitivity issue. By the late 1980's the first pure (96% methanol plus) methanol fluid system was developed and introduced to the industry, and saw wide use throughout Western Canada.In late 1992, additional opportunities to apply this technology presented themselves and research was undertaken to apply new fluid technology to crosslinked methanol. The system was introduced in Argentina; originally, to reduce treatment cost relative to CO2 foam systems prevalent at that time. Since then, more than 200 jobs have been pumped2. The accumulated experience gained in Argentina further enhanced and expanded the original intended applications.In late 1998, depressed crude oil prices and a subsequent decline in drilling operations in the Permian Basin caused pumping service companies to seek applications for this improved crosslinked methanol fluid system in existing producing wells. The hope was to create a stimulation market in gas wells perceived as water sensitive, depleted or damaged to a point that conventional stimulation was not believed to be an option. It is in this application that crosslinked methanol has seen its greatest success in the Permian Basin.
