  • Highly pseudoplastic polymer solutions
    Patent number: 4594108
    Abstract: Thickening compositions are disclosed which impart highly pseudoplastic behavior to aqueous compositions containing same. The compositions of this invention comprise a water-soluble high molecular weight organic polymer and a water-insoluble, water-dispersible and water-swellable organic polymer which is compatible with the water-soluble polymer. Aqueous solutions, suspensions or emulsions containing the thickeners of this invention exhibit very high sensitivity to applied shear.

  • Well treating composition and method
    Patent number: 3954626
    Abstract: Novel compositions comprise homogeneous mixtures of liquid carbon dioxide and an anhydrous lower alkanol gelled to a viscosity of at least 10 centipoises with a hydroxypropyl methylcellulose having a methoxyl degree of substitution of from 0.2 to 1.0 and a molar substitution of hydroxypropoxyl of at least 1.2. The compositions are employed in a method of treating a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore by injecting same under pressure down the wellbore and into the formation to stimulate production of natural gas or petroleum.
