Abstract (en)

[origin: CA3130959A1] The present application relates to a water-in-oil reverse emulsion comprising - an oil; - water; - at least one water-soluble cationic copolymer with an average molar mass of more than 3 million daltons, containing between 18 and 32 mol% of cationic monomers and 68 and 82 mol% of non-ionic monomers; - at least one inversion agent and at least one emulsifier, the weight ratio R of the total amount of inversion agent to the total amount of emulsifier being greater than 1.8, - the inversion agent being chosen from an ethoxylated nonylphenol, preferably having between 4 and 10 ethoxylations; an ethoxylated/propoxylated alcohol, preferably having ethoxylations/propoxylations so as to have a total carbon number between C12 and C25, an ethoxylated tridecyl alcohol and an ethoxylated/propoxylated fatty alcohol; - the emulsifying agent being chosen from sorbitan monooleate, polyethoxylated sorbitan esters or diethanolamide of tall oil fatty acids, and the use thereof in hydraulic fracturing.
