ABSTRACT:
An improved fracturing fluid for use in hydraulic fracturing of subterranean formations and comprising an aqueous fluid containing an effective amount of a guar containing gelling agent, an effective amount of a crosslinking agent to crosslink the gelling agent and a retarding agent for delaying the crosslinking reaction. The crosslinking agent is a rare earth metal containing compound, such as a ceric salt. The retarding agent for the ceric salt comprises a first mixture consisting essentially of about 1 part of a carboxylic acid and from about 1 to 1000 parts of the alkali metal salt of the carboxylic acid. The retarding agent further comprises a second mixture consisting essentially of about 1 part of a hydroxycarboxylic acid and from about 1 to 1000 parts of its alkali metal salt or about 1 part of an aminocarboxylic acid to from about 1 to 1000 parts of its alkali metal salt.
