摘要:
A method of cementing a wellbore comprising preparing a wellbore cementing composition comprising a cementitious materials and a modified biopolymer additive wherein the modified biopolymer additive is the reaction product of a process comprising contacting a biopolymer and an organic carbonate to form a reaction mixture and subjecting the reaction mixture to a temperature of from about 100° F. to about 250° F. and placing the wellbore cementing fluid in the wellbore. A method of cementing a wellbore comprising contacting a modified biopolymer additive with a cementitious slurry to produce a wellbore cementing composition having an initial viscosity, v0; placing the wellbore cementing composition to a desired depth in a subterranean formation wherein the wellbore cementing composition has a transitional viscosity, vt, during placement in the subterranean formation and a final viscosity, vf, at the desired depth wherein vf≧vt>v0; and allowing the wellbore cementing composition to set.

Drilling fluid compositions methods of using them are described. The drilling fluid compositions comprise nanocomposites comprising core-shell morphology, wherein the core material comprises a nanoparticle having an average particle size of about 5 nm to 100 nm, and the shell material comprises a crosslinked polymer comprising acrylamide repeat units. The nanocomposites are effective fluid loss control agents when the drilling fluids are employed in mud drilling operations.
摘要:
Cement slurry compositions comprising water, portland cement, styrene-butadiene latex and polystyrene sulfonate exhibit improved stability (i.e., lower free fluid values). The slurries may further comprise bentonite, attapulgite, sepiolite, laponite, zeolites, colloidal silica, microsilica or silica fume or combinations thereof. Such compositions may be used for well cementing operations. The operations may be primary cementing or remedial cementing.
摘要:
A lost circulation material and method for well treatment employing the material that is effective at sealing or plugging fractured zones and has utility over a wide range of temperatures, including high temperatures. The lost circulation material includes particulate material to quickly de-fluidize the fluid formulation, fibrous material to suspend particles in the slurrified form of the composition and increase the shear strength of the resultant seal, and non-Portland cement material for increasing the compressive strength.
摘要:
Disclosed is a composition and a method for cementing a casing in a borehole of a well using an aqueous cementing composition comprising (a) water, (b) a cementing composition comprising (i) a hydraulic cement, (ii) a hydrophobically modified polymer, (iii) a dispersant, and optionally (iv) one or more other additives conventionally added to aqueous cementing compositions useful in cementing casings in the borehole of wells. Preferably the hydrophobically modified hydroxyethyl cellulose has an ethylene oxide molar substitution of from 0.5 to 3.5, a hydrophobe degree of substitution of from 0.001 to 0.025, and a weight- average molecular weight of from 500,000 to 4,000,000 Daltons and the dispersant is sulfonated polymer, melamine formaldehyde condensate, a naphthalene formaldehyde condensate, a branched or non-branched polycarboxylate polymer. Preferably, the aqueous cementing composition is pumped downwardly into said casing, pumped upwardly into the annulus surrounding said casing until said aqueous composition fills that portion of the annular space desired to be sealed, and then maintaining said aqueous cementing composition in place until the cement sets.
