Method and compositions for fracturing subterranean formations

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6418359
An aqueous gel containing a retarded crosslinking composition comprising an organotitanate chelate, polyhydroxly-containing compound and an aqueous fluid. The gel is useful for fracturing and placing propping agents within a subterranean formation. The gel has a high viscosity in the formation and has pumping characteristics in turbulent flow similar to those of the base gel.
