Methods for reducing fluid loss of a viscoelastic surfactant gel into a subterranean formation

Methods and compositions of treating formations using viscoelastic treatment fluids are provided that reduce the amount of fluid loss to the formations due to the lack of polymer backbone in the viscoelastic treatment fluids. The methods and compositions of treating formations include a fluid loss a...

More Information
Summary:Methods and compositions of treating formations using viscoelastic treatment fluids are provided that reduce the amount of fluid loss to the formations due to the lack of polymer backbone in the viscoelastic treatment fluids. The methods and compositions of treating formations include a fluid loss additive that includes a copolymer that includes a hydrophilic monomeric unit and a first anchoring monomeric unit.
