“…In the oil and gas production industries these gels are employed to produce high viscosity fluids used in hydraulic fracturing of underground formations [1][2][3]. They are also used to plug porous media in enhanced oil recovery operationsprocesses generically called "permeability modification" [4][5][6].…”

Water-soluble polymers crosslinked with metal ions form stable gels that are used in oil and gas production processes. We present an investigation of the chemistry of the binding between guar galactomannans and both borates and titanates using NMR and dynamic light scattering. The two monosaccharides comprising guar -methyl-/?-Dgalactopyranoside and methyl-r -have been studied as model compounds. High resolution 13C NMR detected complexation of the sugars with borate but displayed no sign of complexation with either of the two titanates even at high titanate concentrations. Dynamic light scattering studies demonstrated the existence of colloidal titanium dioxide particles for both titanate crosslinkers. The loss of free titanium to the colloidal particles reduces the concentration of titanium crosslinking sites to below the detectable limits of NMR. The role of colloidal titanium dioxide colloids in these crosslinking reactions has not been reported previously. Data are presented following the growth of these particles with time as a function of pH and salt concentration. The observed particle growth kinetics explains the observed sensitivity of the guar gelafion process to these variables.

“…However, when subjected to large elongational or shear stress, or presence of electrolytes, especially divalent cations, they lose significant viscosification efficiency. 3 Hydrophobically associating water-soluble polymers exhibit unique rheological behavior and can overcome the deficiencies found in PAM systems. However, the viscosities of hydrophobically associating water-soluble polymers at low polymer concentration are not high enough to be used in oil recovery, which has restricted their uses.…”

ABSTRACT:A new kind of hydrophobically associating water-soluble terpolymer P(AM-NVP-DMDA) was synthesized by free radical terpolymerization. Compared with micellar terpolymerization, this terpolymerization can be conducted in aqueous solution in absence of external surfactant, because the hydrophobic monomer is surface active. Synthesis, structure, and solution properties of P(AM-NVP-DMDA) terpolymer were studied, including its electrolyte effect, rheological behavior, temperature dependence of viscosity, dilute solution property, and the polymer-alkali, polymer-surfactant interaction. The terpolymer shows strong hydrophobic effect, and the terpolymer aqueous brine solution exhibits high viscosity at low polymer concentration. Incorporation of N-vinyl-pyrrolidone into the terpolymer causes an improvement in thermal stability of the terpolymer. The transmission electron photomicrograph analysis of the terpolymer indicates that the presence of the microphase separation of the terpolymer in aqueous solution plays an important role in the viscosification efficiency of the terpolymer.
