VISCOSITY ENHANCEMENT OF POLYSACCHARIDE FLUIDS

摘要

A method of treating a subterranean formation includes providing a treatment composition comprising at least one hydroxyl carboxylic acid, a crosslinkable component and a crosslinking agent. The treatment composition is then introduced to the subterranean formation, such that the combination of the hydroxyl carboxylic acid, a crosslinkable component and a crosslinking agent in the treatment composition increases the viscosity of the well treatment composition.
