ABSTRACT:
A beta-alanine-type branched partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide is added to an aqueous injection fluid to increase the viscosity of the fluid. The polymer resists plugging of the wellbore face and/or matrix pores and is brine tolerant when injected into a subterranean hydrocarbon-bearing formation.
