Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2021240198A1] The method comprises: - feeding solid polymer particles and water to a dynamic mixer (56) having a rotor; - wetting and at least partially dissolving the solid polymer particles in water in the dynamic mixer (56) to produce a mother solution; - agitating the mother solution in at least two successive tanks (80, 84, 86) to obtain a matured mother solution; - diluting the matured mother solution with water to obtain the viscosified water; Water fed to the dynamic mixer (56) is a low salinity water having a salinity smaller than 3 g/l, the mother solution produced in the dynamic mixer having a temperature greater than 40°C, and a polymer concentration greater than 15 g/L, in particular greater than 19 g/L.
