    Hydraulic fracturing is one of the most widely stimulation techniques used for increasing well production. The operation depends on the quality of the fracturing fluid. The fracturing fluids are varied and their rheological properties are the result of chemical reactions of chemical additives in the fluid. Quality control of fluids is an important tool that should be essential in fracking operations to ensure the quality of the fluids and the success of the operation. Knowing the chemical behavior of fracturing fluids and the parameters affecting it is critical in the quality control for operational decision making in field leading to the use of appropriate fluids. This paper presents the description of the chemical behavior of water-based fracturing fluids and the main physics and chemicals parameters of quality control that can affect their rheological stability. Furthermore, exposes additional fluid control parameters necessary for the success of hydraulic fracturing.
