Abstract

See full text

Of the many methods provided herein, one method of reducing the viscosity of a viscosified treatment fluid includes: providing a clean-up composition comprising a carboxylic acid; providing a chlorite-based breaker system; providing a viscosified treatment fluid; placing the viscosified treatment fluid in a subterranean formation via a well bore penetrating the subterranean formation; contacting the viscosified treatment fluid with the clean-up composition; contacting the viscosified treatment fluid with the chlorite-based breaker; and allowing the viscosity of the viscosified treatment fluid to reduce. Also provided herein are methods that include a method of reducing polymeric residue from a subterranean formation that includes: placing a clean-up composition and a chlorite-based breaker system in a subterranean formation in contact with an amount of polymeric residue; and allowing the amount of polymeric residue present in the formation to be reduced.
