Highlights
- High viscosity polymer
- Rapid hydration in base fluids at neutral pH
- Viscosity can be dramatically increased with the addition of a metal cross-linker
- Non-hazardous
- Typical loading: 3 – 10 L/m3 (gpt)
It is used in completion fluids for linear gel and cross-linked systems. It hydrates rapidly in fresh source water at neutral pH. The viscosity of base gels containing ArkVisc WG-2007 can be raised substantially with the addition of a metal cross-linker to help suspend proppant during a fracturing treatment.
