Wettability altering gellable treatment fluids

摘要

Gellable treatment fluids containing an acrylamide copolymer and a suitable surfactant can be used in various subterranean operations where it is necessary for the treatment fluid to remain in a gelled state for extended periods of time at high formation temperatures. The surfactants are chosen to increase the relative permeability of the hydrocarbons in the subterranean formation by wettability alteration.
