Zusammenfassung:	A method of treating a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore in cludes preparing a treatment fluid with shear thinning, non-monotonic rheolo gical properties, injecting the treatment fluid into the subterranean format ion, and inducing shear rate softening phase transition in the treatment flu id. The non-monotonic rheology properties can be such that in the relationsh ip between shear stress (.sigma. ) versus strain rate ( / ), where fx < j 2 < /3 < /4, the shear stress values are .sigma..lambda. < .sigma.2 , (T3 <
