The present invention provides a well treatment fluid for use in a well, the
well treatment fluid comprising water; an amine-based polymer; an polysaccharide-based
polymer; and an oxidizing agent that is capable of at least partially oxidizing
at least the polysaccharide-based polymer. The present invention also provides
a method of treating a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore, the method
comprising the steps of: (a) forming a well treatment fluid comprising water; an
amine-based polymer; a polysaccharide-based polymer; and an oxidizing agent that
is capable of at least partially oxidizing at least a portion of the polysaccharide-based
polymer; and (b) contacting the well treatment fluid with the subterranean formation.
