Abstract:
Methods of treating a carbonate formation are provided. The methods include introducing a nanoparticle gel system into the carbonate formation at a rate and pressure sufficient to create or enhance at least one fracture in the carbonate formation. The nanoparticle gel system includes a gelling agent, a nanoparticle-size clay, and a proppant. The methods further include allowing a portion of the proppant to deposit in the at least one fracture, pumping an acidic fluid into the carbonate formation, and allowing a portion of the acidic fluid to at least partially reduce a viscosity of the nanoparticle gel system and to react with the carbonate formation.

Claim (Index 10):
The method of  claim 9 , wherein the smectite clays comprise hectorite.
