Abstract
Water soluble polymers are used extensively throughout the oil producing industry for a variety of applications. Such applications begin with the drilling of a well, progress through chemical and hydraulic treatments designed to stimulate production, include workover operations which maintain production, and are significant in secondary and tertiary recovery operations.
