Zusammenfassung:A fracturing fluid comprises an aqueous base fluid and a cationic polymer combined with a salt. The fracturing fluid may be used to fracture a subterranean formation. The cationic polymer in combination with a salt provides for reduced clay swelling, while maintaining the granularity and porosity of the formation, which thereby promotes the flow of hydrocarbons from the formation.
