Treatment fluids comprising an aqueous base fluid and a gelling agent of selected from the group consisting of hydroxypropyl starch phosphate, a hydroxypropyl starch phosphate derivative, and any combination thereof. The treatment fluids may be used to perform subterranean formation operations, such as fracturing operations and proppant particulate placement operations. The treatment fluids are self-breakable and provide viscosity for proppant particulate suspension without the use of breakers or crosslinkers.

Self-breakable treatment fluids for use in subterranean formation operations

Methods and compositions for gravel packing a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation are described. The methods include providing a gravel packing fluid and contacting the subterranean formation with the gravel packing fluid so as to place a gravel pack in or near a portion of the subterranean formation. The gravel packing fluid includes a particulate agent and hydroxypropyl starch phosphate.
