Abstract (en)

[origin: CA3230987A1] The present application relates to an injection fluid F for hydraulic fracturing comprising at least one synthetic water-soluble polymer P with a weight-average molecular weight greater than or equal to 1 million daltons, said fluid being prepared according to a method comprising the following successive steps: a) preparing, by radical polymerization, an inverse emulsion E comprising between 15% and 40% by weight of polymer P, between 20% and 60% by weight of water and at least one hydrocarbon-based solvent, the percentages being expressed by weight relative to the weight of the emulsion E, b) distilling the inverse emulsion E to obtain a dispersion D comprising between 40% and 60% by weight of particles of polymer P, less than 10% by weight of water and at least one hydrocarbon-based solvent, the percentages being expressed by weight relative to the weight of the dispersion D, c) diluting the dispersion D with 1% to 15% by weight of an aqueous solution S comprising between 20% and 60% by weight of salts, the percentages being expressed by weight relative to the weight of the dispersion D.
