METHODS OF TREATING SUBTERRANEAN FORMATIONS USING HYDROPHOBICALLY MODIFIED POLYMERS AND COMPOSITIONS OF THE SAME

摘要

Methods for treating subterranean formations, hydrophobically modified polym er compositions and fracturing fluid compositions containing hydrophobically modified polymer are provided. The hydrophobically modified polymer compositions wherein a plurality of hydrophobic groups are formed on the polymer, are basically comprised of water, a charged polymer, and surfactant . The surfactant has a charge opposite to that of the polymer and is capable o f forming ion-pair associations with the polymer.
