Water is non compressible. CO2 is. So I don't see how you could get comparable performance out of a gas in fracing operations. But I drilled wells. I didn't bring 'em in or do workovers.
We used compressed nitrogen several times to sweep cuttings out out of the well to free up a stuck string of drill pipe. It never worked. We always ended up spotting oil or shooting off, washing over then tripping in with an overshot and fishing. No fun at all.

I never understood the companies that were air drilling in the Devil's River valley of SW Texas back the then.
One crew burned off 3 lengths of drill collar.

I didn’t even realize it had a liquid form. I thought at ordinary temperatures and pressures it went from gas to dry ice.
