Abstract

Delayed breakers are given that break viscoelastic surfactant fluids inside the pores of formations into which the fluids have been injected. The breakers comprise proteins, proteins that contain breakers, or cells that contain breakers. Proteins become breakers, and proteins and cells release breakers, due to a triggering mechanism that may be, for example, a change in temperature, pH, or salinity.
