The present invention relates to subterranean treatment fluids. In particular, the present invention relates to subterranean treatment fluid compositions that comprise polyoxazoline compositions and methods for using such compositions in subterranean applications. In one embodiment, the present invention provides a method of controlling shale swelling in a subterranean formation comprising introducing a treatment fluid into the subterranean formation, wherein the treatment fluid comprises a base fluid and a polyoxazoline composition. In another embodiment, the present invention provides a method of treating a portion of a subterranean formation comprising the steps of: introducing a treatment fluid that comprises a base fluid and a polyoxazoline composition; and treating a portion of the subterranean formation. Other embodiments are provided.
A method of controlling shale swelling in a subterranean formation comprising introducing a treatment fluid into the subterranean formation, wherein the treatment fluid comprises a base fluid and a polyoxazoline composition.
A method of treating a portion of a subterranean formation comprising the steps of:
A method of drilling a portion of a well bore in a subterranean formation comprising the steps of:
A method of avoiding the loss of circulation of a treatment fluid in a subterranean formation, comprising the step of adding to the treatment fluid a polyoxazoline composition and introducing the treatment fluid into a portion of the subterranean formation.
A subterranean treatment fluid comprising a base fluid and a polyoxazoline composition.
A subterranean fluid loss control agent for use in subterranean applications comprising a polyoxazoline composition.
A shale-inhibiting component for use in a subterranean application comprising a polyoxazoline composition.
