Abstract

High temperature blocking gel is shown for temporary workover operations. The blocking gel is prepared by blending a guar or derivatized guar polymer with an aqueous fluid. The mixing method employed mixes and pumps the guar polymer essentially unhydrated. The resulting lower viscosity minimizes friction pressure during placement.
