A downhole fluid comprises a base fluid, for example a hydrocarbon base fluid, and a pyromellitamide gelling agent. The pyromellitamide gelling agent may have the general formula of: with R, R, R, R, R, R, R, and Reach being a hydrogen or an organic group. R1, R2, R3 and R4 may each be hexyl groups or may each be octyl groups. A composition for gelling a downhole fluid, the composition comprising a pyromellitamide gelling agent and a wetting agent.

Pyromellitamide gelling agents

A downhole fluid comprises a base fluid, for example a hydrocarbon base fluid, and a gelling agent. The gelling agent has an aromatic core of one or more aromatic rings, the gelling agent having two or more amide branches distributed about the aromatic core, each of the two or more amide branches having one or more organic groups. An example gelling agent is a pyromellitamide gelling agent. The pyromellitamide gelling agent may have the general formula of: with R, R, R, R, R, R, R, and Reach being a hydrogen or an organic group. Methods of use and composition are discussed.

Amide branched aromatic celling agents

A downhole fluid comprises a base fluid, for example a hydrocarbon base fluid, a gelling agent, and a gel enhancer. The gelling agent has an aromatic core of one or more aromatic rings, the gelling agent having two or more amide branches distributed about the aromatic core, each of the two or more amide branches having one or more organic groups. An example gelling agent is a pyromellitamide gelling agent. A method of making a downhole fluid, the method comprising: combining a base fluid, a gelling agent, and a gel enhancer. A downhole fluid comprising a base fluid, a gelling agent, a breaker, and a gel enhancer. Downhole fluids with such gels and a breaker are also disclosed.
