example 2-V

[0051] Example 2 - VPA Copolymer.

[0052] Several VPA-containing copolymers (Table 2) were synthesized and their viscosity properties investigated.

[0053] Table 2. VPA copolymers.

[0054]

[0055] A 1% VPA-1 copolymer solution was prepared by dissolving 5 g of the VPA-1 copolymer emulsion in 500 ml of deionized water. Then, 0.15 g of sodium bicarbonate and 0.5 ml of a 50% choline chloride solution were added. 0.5 ml of ethoxylated surfactant was added as inversion surfactant. The solution was mixed slowly until the polymer was completely dissolved. The viscosity of the polymer solution was 15 cP (measured at 51 l / sec using an OFITE model 900 viscometer).

[0056] The polymer solution was crosslinked by adding 0.2 ml of 30% sodium thiosulfate solution to 100 ml of polymer solution, adjusting the pH to about 7.6, followed by adding 0.075 ml of zirconium lactate crosslinker (5% Zr) . The resulting solution was transferred to a HTHP viscometer and heated to 275°F. Vi...

example 1

[0067] Examples 1 and 2 demonstrate the incorporation of even small amounts of vinylphosphonic acid in acrylamide copolymers after the crosslinker has been added compared to polyacrylamide (Example 1) where there is no significant increase in viscosity after the addition of the crosslinker (Example 2) Significantly increased viscosity.

example 3

[0068] Example 3 - VPA-3 pH study.

[0069] A 1% VPA-3 copolymer solution was prepared by dissolving 5 g of the VPA-3 copolymer emulsion in 500 ml of deionized water. Then, 0.15 g of sodium bicarbonate and 0.5 ml of a 50% choline chloride solution were added. 0.5 ml of ethoxylated surfactant was added as inversion surfactant. The solution was mixed slowly until the polymer was completely dissolved. The viscosity of the polymer solution was 15-16 cP (measured at 511 / sec using an OFITE model 900 viscometer).

[0070] The polymer solution was crosslinked by adding 0.2 ml of 30% sodium thiosulfate solution to 100 ml of polymer solution, adjusting the pH to about 4.7, followed by adding 0.1 ml of zirconium lactate crosslinker (5% Zr) . The resulting solution was transferred to a HTHP viscometer and heated to 275°F. Viscosity is measured as a function of time and temperature. The results are presented in Table 6.

Abstract

Compositions and methods for fracturing a subterranean formation are presented. Also provided are compositions and methods for reducing friction-related losses in a well treatment fluid. In general, the compositions include a copolymer that includes one or more vinylphosphonic acid (''VP A'') monomers.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims the benefit of priority under 35 U.S.C. § 119(e) to U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 62 / 394,342, filed September 14, 2016, the entire disclosure of which application is incorporated herein by reference . Background technique [0003] Aqueous treatment fluids can be used in a variety of subterranean treatments. Such treatments include, but are not limited to, drilling operations, stimulation operations, and well completion operations. As used herein, the terms "treatment" or "treating" refer to any subterranean operation in which fluids are used in conjunction with a desired function and / or for a desired purpose. The terms "treatment" or "treating" do not imply any specific role of the fluid. [0004] Viscous, gelled fracturing fluids are commonly used in hydraulic fracturing of subterranean zones penetrated by wellbores (eg, oil or gas bearing rock formations) to increase the production ...
