Zusammenfassung:Methods are provided for reducing friction during fracturing of a subterranean formation. In some embodiments, a method includes introducing micronized dry water soluble polymer (DWSP) particles into a fracturing liquid to form a mixture; and pumping the mixture into a subterranean formation to fracture the subterranean formation, the micronized DWSP particles include a DWSP, DWSP is selected from the group consisting of dry anionic, dry cationic, dry nonionic water soluble polymer, and mixtures thereof, mean particle size of the micronized DWSP particles ranges from about 115 to about 225 microns.
