BORONATED BIOPOLYMER CROSSLINKING AGENTS AND METHODS RELATING THERETO

摘要

Boronated biopolymer crosslinking agents useful in producing viscosified treatment fluids that include an aqueous fluid, a base polymer, and the boronated biopolymer crosslinking agent, wherein the boronated biopolymer crosslinking agent comprises a biopolymer derivatized with a boronic acid, a boronate ester, or both. Such viscosified treatment fluids may be useful in fracturing operations, gravel packing operations, drilling operations, and the like.
