Abstract
Disclosed are treating fluid compositions for use in subterranean workover and hydrocarbon recovery operations, as well as methods of treating subterranean formations penetrated by a wellbore utilizing the treating fluid. The treating fluid compositions contain a first, aqueous liquid, and a crosslinkable organic polymer that is at least partly soluble in the liquid. The treating fluid further contains a borate crosslinking agent solution containing a primary, un-refined borate and a secondary, refined borate, the borate solution being present as a crosslinking agent upon addition to the first fluid admixture so as to crosslink the organic polymer and increase the viscosity and/or accelerate the crosslink time of the treating fluid.
