摘要:
A method of gravel packing a treatment zone of a well includes the steps of: (A) forming a treatment fluid including a continuous aqueous phase and gravel, wherein the aqueous phase includes: (i) water; (ii) diutan; (iii) oxidizer in the range of 0.1% to 2% by weight of the water; (iv) organic acid in the range of 0.5% to 5% by weight of the water; and (v) transition metal compound in the range of 0.001% to 0.25% by weight of the water; and (B) introducing the treatment fluid into the treatment zone; wherein the design temperature is less than 180°F; wherein the continuous phase of the treatment fluid has a viscosity in the range of 10 cP to 75 cP at the design temperature; and wherein the concentration of the organic acid is less than would cause the diutan to salt out at the design temperature.
