Abstract
Methods of preparing a viscosified treatment fluid comprising a base fluid, a gelling agent, and breaker coated particulates ('BCPs'). The BCPs comprise particulates at least partially coated with a first layer of a stabilization agent followed by a second layer of a breaker. The viscosified treatment fluid may be introduced into a subterranean formation, the breaker activated to reduce a viscosity thereof, and a particulate pack formed in the subterranean formation with the BCPs.
