INDUSTRIAL FLUIDS WITH DILUTION RESISTANCE AND TUNABLE VISCOSITY, AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING INDUSTRIAL FLUIDS

摘要

Disclosed herein are compositions and methods for increasing the viscosity of a calcium-containing fluid by addition of a modifying agent. The resulting enhanced viscosity fluid may be used in a variety of applications including drilling, to create an enhanced-viscosity fluid, and demolition/mining to create an expansive putty for use in underwater and overhead applications.
