ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to methods for improving the suspension of solids in liquids; more particularly, to reducing the potential stresses caused by increased particle loading in a fluid. An example of a method is a method of enhancing the flow of particles. Another example of a method is a method of fracturing a subterranean formation. Another example of a method is a method of gravel packing a portion of a subterranean formation. Another example of a method is a method of enhancing the flow of drill cuttings. An example of a composition is a treatment fluid comprising a liquid component and a solid component.
