Abstract
An invert emulsion is used to form a hydrated flocculated polymer useful in reducing fluid loss in downhole operations. The invert emulsion can be sheared to form the hydrated flocculated polymer, which can be introduced downhole into the fluid loss flow path in a subterranean formation and allowed to accumulate at the pore throat to reduce fluid loss.
