  • Fluid loss compositions and methods of use for subterranean operations
    Patent number: 7897545
    Abstract: Additives that may be useful in preventing fluid loss in certain subterranean formations and associated methods of use are provided. In one embodiment, the methods of the present invention comprise: providing a low molecular weight crosslinkable polymer and a crosslinking agent capable of crosslinking the low molecular weight crosslinkable polymer; and introducing the low molecular weight crosslinkable polymer and the crosslinking agent into at least a portion of a subterranean formation.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 8, 2008
    Date of Patent: March 1, 2011
    Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.

  • Subterranean formation treating fluid concentrates, treating fluids and methods
    Publication number: 20030114539
    Abstract: Subterranean formation treating fluid concentrates, treating fluids and methods are provided by the present invention. The treating fluid concentrates are basically comprised of water and a substantially fully hydrated depolymerized polymer. The treating fluids which are formed by adding water to the treating fluid concentrates are basically comprised of water, a substantially fully hydrated depolymerized polymer and a crosslinking agent for crosslinking the hydrated depolymerized polymer.
