Included are methods and systems for controlling the rheology of a treatment fluid. An example method comprises selecting a cellulose feedstock source to provide a cellulose capable of being processed into a nanocellulose having an average desired aspect ratio, and processing the cellulose with a cellulose processing technique to provide the nanocellulose with the average desired aspect ratio. The method further comprises adding the nanocellulose to the treatment fluid; wherein the nanocellulose alters a rheological property of the treatment fluid to provide an altered treatment fluid, and introducing the altered treatment fluid into a wellbore.

Rheology control of nanocellulose treatment fluids

A variety of systems, methods and compositions are disclosed for a treatment fluid comprising a nano-cellulose and a gum. An example method may comprise providing a treatment fluid wherein the treatment fluid comprises: a base fluid; a nano-cellulose; and a gum; and introducing the treatment fluid into a well bore penetrating a subterranean formation.

Nanocelluloses and biogums for viscosity modification

A wellbore treatment fluid comprising: a base fluid; and an additive comprising: a first polymer bundle selected from the group consisting of cellulose nanofibrils, cellulose nanocrystals, and combinations thereof; and a second polymer, wherein the second polymer attaches to the first polymer bundle by a non-covalent mechanism. A method of treating a portion of a wellbore comprising: introducing the treatment fluid into the wellbore.

Additive of cellulose nanofibrils or nanocrystals and a second polymer

A wellbore treatment fluid comprising: a base fluid; and additive comprising a first polymer bundle selected from the group consisting of cellulose nanofibrils, cellulose nanocrystals, and combinations thereof, wherein one or more functional groups of the first polymer are chemically modified A method of treating a portion of a wellbore comprising: introducing the treatment fluid into the wellbore.
