  • OXIDATIVE SYSTEMS FOR BREAKING POLYMER VISCOSIFIED FLUIDS
    Publication number: 20080099207
    Abstract: A fluid breaking composition including an effective amount of an alkali chlorite and/or hyperchlorite is disclosed, where the composition reduces a viscosity of a polymer viscosified fluid to a desired low value at down hole conditions within a time period coincident with a formation stimulation time, generally between about 30 minutes and 195 minutes. Methods for making and using the breaking composition are also disclosed.
