Abstract:
1. A fracturing composition comprising: (a) a hydrocarbon liquid, (b) about 0.6 wt. % to about 0.9 wt. % based on a weight of the hydrocarbon liquid, of a mixture of phosphate esters, said esters selected from the group consisting of: monoester PO(OR (c) about 0.2 wt. % to about 0.8 wt. % based on the weight of the hydrocarbon liquid of an acidic polynuclear aluminum compound having an Al:Cl mole ratio ranging from about 1.40:1 to about 2.2:1, and wherein the acidic polynuclear aluminum compound is not partially or completely neutralized, wherein said fracturing composition is characterized by a substantially constant viscosity value.
