ABSTRACT:
Advantageous aqueous mixed salt systems viscosified with water-soluble or water-dispersable polymers which are superior to corresponding single salt systems of similar densities are provided. The mixed salt systems comprise water; a water-soluble or water-dispersable polymer capable of viscosifying an aqueous medium; one or more cations including a member selected from the group consisting of lithium, sodium, potassium, cesium, magnesium, calcium, zinc, or mixtures thereof; and one or more anions including a member selected from the group consisting of chloride, bromide, iodide, formate, nitrate, acetate, cyanate, thiocyanate, a zinc complex anion or mixtures thereof; there being present either at least two cations or at least two anions. Inventive viscosified mixed salt systems display--under such stressing factors as aging, heat, mechanical agitation, and shear--greater stability compared to the single salt systems of similar densities. Also provided are methods for making viscosified mixed salt systems and methods for advantageously using the same as drilling, drill-in, completion, hydraulic fracturing, work-over, packer, well treating, testing, spacer, or hole abandonment fluids.
