摘要:
A fracturing carrier fluid for fracturing a subterranean formation has at least one linear or branched hydrofluorocarbon compound having a boiling point, at a pressure of 1 atmosphere, of between 0° C. and 65° C. A fracturing fluid is also disclosed having the fracturing carrier fluid and proppants. A method for fracturing a subterranean formation using the fracturing fluid is also disclosed.
摘要:
Disclosed is an alkaline earth metal peroxide concentrate, or fluidized suspension, for addition to aqueous hydraulic fracturing fluids to efficiently decrease the viscosity of the hydrated, hydrophilic polysaccharide polymer in the system. The concentrate comprises a hydrophobic, water insoluble liquid, an organophilic clay suspension agent, a polar activator, a sparingly-soluble alkaline earth metal peroxide, and an anionic surfactant. Advantageously, these concentrations, or suspensions, exhibit high flash points, making them easier to transport using commercial transportation means.
摘要:
A base fluid for formulating wellbore fluids. The base fluid comprises a mixture of synthetic aliphatic hydrocarbons derived from a Fischer-Tropsch product stream and contains greater than 96% aliphatic hydrocarbons having a carbon number range of from C6 to C30. The percentage of homologues having a carbon number of C10 or less is less than about 3 wt%.
摘要:
The invention pertains to a process for fracturing a subterranean formation using a mixture of methane (natural gas) and propane/butane (liquefied petroleum gas). The process comprises: a)providing a first fluid (in a gas or liquefied form) comprising at least 50 wt.% of methane: b)providing a second fluid (in a gas or liquefied form) comprising at least 50 wt.% of the combination of propane and butane: c)mixing and, in case of a gas mixture, liquefying said first fluid and said second fluid to obtain a liquefied fluid mixture comprising 15-80 wt.% of methane and 15-80 wt.% of the combination of propane and butane, said liquefied mixture having a temperature and a pressure such that the liquefied fluid stays above the bubble point of the mixture; d)blending a proppant and/or a gellant into the liquefied fluid mixture to produce a 1 fracturing fluid; e)injecting the fracturing fluid into the subterranean formation.
摘要:
The present invention relates to synthetic polymers having high molecular weights and low polydispersities and methods of synthesis. In one embodiment of the present invention, a polymer includes a polyacrylate polymer obtained from a polymerization reaction in which the polyacrylate polymer has a molecular weight of at least about 500,000 and a polydispersity index of about 1.25 or less.
摘要:
This invention provides a water-free oil based fluid polymer suspension composition for use as a rheology modifier and fluid loss reducer in oil or gas well servicing fluids. It has been found that by using white medicinal oil as a carrier, high solids content and environmental friendly anhydrous fluidized polymer suspensions of xanthan gum, cellulose ethers, guar gum and derivaties thereof can be prepared. More specifically, in one aspect, an oil-based fluid polymer suspension (FPS) composition for use in oil or gas well servicing fluids is preferred containing: (a) a hydrophilic polymer; (b) an organophilic clay; (d) a stabilizer; and (d) a white medicinal oil having selected properties.
