Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and composition for viscosifying hydrocarbon liquids utilizing a viscosifying agent. The viscosifying agent comprises: (i) a copolymer of N,N-dimethylacrylamide and dimethylaminopropyl methacrylamide, (ii) a monocarboxylic acid and (iii) a selected amine having an ethanolamine structure admixed in a hydrocarbon liquid. The viscosifying agent constituents are admixed with the liquid hydrocarbon in an amount sufficient to effect viscosification of the hydrocarbon.
