Zusammenfassung:Polymeric additives used with viscoelastic surfactants, fluids comprising such additives and viscoelastic surfactants, and associated methods of use, are provided. In one embodiment, the methods comprise: providing a treatment fluid that comprises an aqueous base fluid, a viscoelastic surfactant, and an amphiphilic polymer, the amphophilic polymer comprising a hydrophobic component, and a hydrophilic component comprising at least 15 monomer units; and introducing the treatment fluid into at least a portion of a subterranean formation.
