Methods of acidizing a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore that include the steps of (a) injecting into the wellbore at a pressure below subterranean formation fracturing pressure a treatment fluid having a first viscosity and including an aqueous acid and a gelling agent selected from the group consisting of Formulas I-XI and combinations thereof; (b) forming at least one void in the subterranean formation with the treatment fluid; and (c) allowing the treatment fluid to attain a second viscosity that is greater than the first viscosity.

Method of acidizing a subterranean formation comprising a gelling agent

Provided herein, inter alia, are polymeric compositions and systems useful for maintaining particle dispersions for extended periods of time. Also provided are dry polymeric compositions and systems that are able to undergo fast hydration. Methods for using such compositions and systems are also provided.

Polymer compositions having fast hydration rate and use of the same for particle suspension

A method of reducing shear recovery time of a viscosifying surfactant fluid system that includes introducing a viscosifying surfactant fluid system into a subterranean formation, wherein the fluid includes a major portion of a surfactant and a hydrophobically-modified associative polymer in a concentration sufficient to shorten the shear recovery time of the fluid system compared to the shear recovery time of the fluid system without the polymer.
