Well treatments that use modified biopolymers for diversion, conformance, fluid loss control, and/or other well treatments, including a method of providing conformance, fluid loss control, or diversion in a subterranean formation, comprising: providing a treatment fluid comprising a base fluid and hydrogel particles, wherein the hydrogel particles comprise modified biopolymers that are crosslinked, the modified biopolymers comprising a biopolymer backbone and a side chains derived from synthetic monomers; and introducing the treatment fluid into a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore. |
