Zusammenfassung:A fluid for use in hydraulic fracturing contains underivatized guar or a guar gum derivative as viscosifying or gelling polymer, a crosslinking agent, carbon dioxide as foaming agent and urea and, optionally, a bifunctional organic compound containing at least one hydroxyl group and at least one quaternary group and, optionally, a non-gaseous foaming agent. The fluid may be characterized by a low pH such as a pH than or equal to 3.0 and less than or equal to 5.0.
