| 摘要 |
This invention relates to a composition comprising a mixture of a brine and a liquid hydrocarbon, and (A) a viscosity increasing amount of at least one ester of a carboxy-containing interpolymer or salt thereof wherein the interpolymer is prepared by polymerizing an olefin selected from the group consisting of alpha-olefins and vinyl aromatic monomers with at least one alpha, beta-unsaturated carboxylic acylating agent, and provided that when the olefin is vinyl toluene, then the alpha, beta-unsaturated carboxylic acylating agent is an alpha, beta-unsaturated dicarboxylic acylating agent. The compositions of the present invention are useful as drilling fluids as well as completion fluids. The esters of the carboxy-containing interpolymer or salts thereof provide beneficial viscosity, formation stabilization, emulsification and rheology properties to the fluids. |
