  • LOW-POLYMER LOADING TREATMENT FLUID FOR USE IN SUBTERRANEAN FORMATION OPERATIONS
    Publication number: 20180208833
    Abstract: Methods including introducing a low-polymer loading treatment fluid (LPLTF) into a subterranean formation for performing a subterranean formation operation at a target interval. The LPLTF comprises an aqueous-based fluid, a guar-based gelling agent in an amount of less than about 2.4 grams/liter of the liquid portion of the LPLTF, and a dual crosslinking additive comprising a metal crosslinker and a multifunctional boronic acid crosslinker in a ratio in the range of about 1:100 to about 100:1.
    Type: Application

  • Method for stimulating methane production from coal seams
    Patent number: 5249627
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for treating coal seams to improve dewatering to enhance gas production therefrom. The treatment is effected by contacting the coal with an effective amount of a selected additive comprises at least one member selected from the group consisting of benzyl coco di-(hydroxyethyl) quaternary amine, p-T-amyl-phenol condensed with formaldehyde and a copolymer comprising from about 80 to about 100% C.sub.1-30 alkyl methacrylate monomers and from about 0 to about 20% hydrophilic monomers.

  • Method of improving the dispersibility of water soluble anionic polymers
    Patent number: 4487866
    Abstract: A method of rendering a water soluble anionic polymer more dispersible in water. The method is carried out by mixing in a polar liquid the water soluble anionic polymers and cationic or amphoteric polymers to form a mixture. When the cationic or amphoteric polymer is added to the anionic polymer in an amount of from about 25 to about 75 percent by weight of the anionic polymer, the salt is added to the mixture in order to hydrate the anionic polymers.

  • Water soluble anionic polymer composition and method for stimulating a subterranean formation
    Patent number: 4487867
    Abstract: A composition and method for stimulating a subterranean formation. The composition contains an anionic polymer which is readily dispersible in water, having a molecular weight sufficient to thicken water, and a cationic or amphoteric polymer or mixtures thereof.
