Abstract

The present inventions include an insulating fluid comprising a non-particulate viscosifying polymer, a water or brine, a cross-linking agent, and insulating particulates. The insulating fluid may be produced by performing the following steps in any order: adding a non-particulate viscosifying polymer to a brine, adding a cross-linking agent, adding insulating particulates, and optionally adding a solvent. The insulating fluid may be injected into an annulus surrounding a pipe such as production tubing, casing, surface pipelines, subsea pipelines, or risers.
