A method of servicing a wellbore comprising introducing to the wellbore a
wellbore servicing fluid comprising an additive composition comprising a
polysaccharide having carboxylate and sulfonate groups. A method of
servicing a wellbore comprising preparing at the well site an additive
composition comprising a polysaccharide having carboxylate and sulfonate
groups,introducing the additive composition into a wellbore servicing
fluid, and placing the wellbore servicing fluid into a subterranean
formation. A method of preparing a wellbore servicing fluid comprising
contacting a polysaccharide composition with an oxidizing agent to form
an oxidized polysaccharide, and contacting the oxidized polysaccharide
with a sulfonating agent to form a carboxylated sulfonated
polysaccharide, and contacting the carboxylated sulfonated polysaccharide
with a wellbore servicing fluid.
