METHOD OF WELL TREATMENT USING SYNTHETIC POLYMERS

摘要

A method for treating a subterranean formation, including estimating the solubility parameter of a monomer; selecting a solvent based on the parameter; forming a fluid comprising the monomer and solvent; and introducing the fluid to the formation, wherein the formation is about 350°F or warmer. A method for treating a subterranean formation, including forming a fluid comprising the monomer and solvent, wherein the monomer comprises poly(2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate) and/or poly(2-hydroxyethyl acrylate, and wherein the solvent comprises zinc bromide or calcium bromide or both; and introducing the fluid to the formation, wherein the formation is about 350°F or warmer.
