Biopolymers such as xanthan are being used increasingly in oil field operations where the stability of the biopolymer is a prime consideration. The stability of xanthan depends on the brine salinity. Good viscosity retention over many months is observed in seawater at 90 C. The successful application of xanthan at temperatures higher than 90 C requires an understanding of the factors that limit stability. These factors include the nature of the polymer and the mechanisms of degradation. The stability features of a novel biopolymer are described also. 11 references.
