Abstract
The present invention relates to methods, aqueous treating fluids and friction pressure reducers for the treating fluids. A treating fluid of the invention comprises water and a non-toxic environmentally acceptable friction pressure reducer comprising a mixture of a copolymer of acrylamide and dimethylaminoethyl acrylate quaternized with benzyl chloride and a stabilizing and dispersing homopolymer of ethanaminium,N,N,N-trimethyl-2-[(1,oxo-2-prbpenyl)oxy]-chloride.
Claims20
A method of treating a subterranean zone penetrated by a well bore comprising the steps of:
- (a) preparing or providing an aqueous treating fluid that comprises water and a non-toxic environmentally acceptable friction pressure reducer comprising a mixture of a copolymer of acrylamide and dimethylaminoethyl acrylate quaternized with benzyl chloride and a stabilizing and dispersing homopolymer of ethanaminium,N,N,N-trimethyl-2-[(1,oxo-2-propenyl)oxy]-chloride;
- and
- (b) pumping said aqueous treating fluid into said subterranean zone.
An aqueous well treating fluid comprising:
- water;
- and
- a non-toxic environmentally acceptable friction pressure reducer comprising a mixture of a copolymer of acrylamide and dimethylaminoethyl acrylate quaternized with benzyl chloride and a stabilizing and dispersing homopolymer of ethanaminium,N,N,N-trimethyl-2-[(1,oxo-2-propenyl)oxy]-chloride.
A non-toxic environmentally acceptable friction pressure reducer comprising a mixture of copolymer of acrylamide and dimethylaminoethyl acrylate quaternized with benzyl chloride and a stabilizing and dispersing homopolymer of ethanaminium,N,N,N-trimethyl-2-[(1,oxo-2-propenyl)oxy]-chloride.
