An apparatus and a method for treating a subterranean formation comprising designing a treatment that comprises a composition, wherein the design comprises a pressure influence on a viscosity of the composition, and performing the treatment, wherein the composition is not an energized fluid. An apparatus and a method wherein the viscosity is at least partially estimated based on experimental rheological data collected at pressures below about 500 psi and/or at a pressure that is about 1 atm to about 2,000 atm. An apparatus and a method for exposing a subterranean formation to a composition, comprising forming a composition comprising a polymer and a crosslinker, and pumping the composition into the subterranean formation, wherein the forming the composition comprises selecting the composition components in response to a pressure and temperature of the subterranean formation and experimentally derived behavior of the polymer and the crosslinker at the pressure, temperature, and pH of the subterranean formation. A method wherein the experimentally derived behavior of the polymer and the crosslinker is at least partially estimated based on experimental data at the pressure and temperature of the subterranean formation and/or wherein the pressure experienced by the composition being pumped into the subterranean formation is above 65 atm.
