Patent number: 11118103Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a salt water thickener that uniformly (favorably) disperses ultrafine cellulose fibers even in a liquid containing a salt (electrolyte). The salt water thickener comprises ultrafine cellulose fibers and a water-soluble polymer and can thereby uniformly disperse the ultrafine cellulose fibers even in a liquid containing a salt. The salt water thickener of the present invention is uniformly dispersed even in a liquid containing a salt and therefore exerts a high viscosity. The salt water thickener of the present invention can also be used as an additive for a fluid. The salt water thickener of the present invention can be used for purposes, for example, subterranean formation processing.Type: GrantFiled: October 13, 2015Date of Patent: September 14, 2021Assignee: OJI HOLDINGS CORPORATIONInventors: Ikue Homma, Takayuki Shimaoka, Moe Mizukami, Takuri Ozaki, Yuichi Noguchi, Mitsuru Tsunoda
