Abstract

Enzyme breakers have many significant advantages compared to the traditional oxidizer chemical breakers because of their substrate specificity, high efficiency and non-toxicity, thus enzyme have been widely used in the water-based fracturing fluids as guar gel breaker. However, there is an industry-wide demand for enzyme breakers that can function under high temperature of formation. The purpose of this paper is to develop the thermostable enzyme through the isolation and identification of thermophilic bacteria.
