CAVITATION OF POLYMER-CONTAINING FLUIDS FOR USE IN SUBTERRANEAN FORMATIONS
Methods for breaking polymer-containing treatment fluids for use in subterranean formations are provided. In one or more embodiments, the methods include providing a treatment: fluid comprising a base fluid and a polymer, wherein the treatment fluid was recovered from at least a portion of a subterranean formation located at a wellsite; transporting the treatment fluid from the wellsite to an off-site location; and applying a cavitation technique to at least a portion of the treatment fluid at the off-site location.
