摘要:
A persulfate compound activated by a strong base is used for low-temperature breaking of fluids viscosified with a multi-chain polysaccharide. The breaker system can be used in an oilfield or pipeline application where a multi-chain polysaccharide may be used in a fluid. It is particularly useful at low temperatures of less than 100° F. Optionally, the water can be a brine.
