摘要:
Methods for cementing a pipe string in a well bore containing oil-based drilling fluid using oil-based settable spotting fluid compositions are provided. The oil-based settable spotting fluid compositions basically comprise an oil external emulsion comprising oil, water and an emulsifying surfactant; a hydraulically settable component; and a de-emulsifying surfactant for de-emulsifying the oil-external emulsion when the emulsion is cured.
摘要:
The present invention provides improved compositions and methods of using the compositions for sealing subterranean zones. The compositions are basically comprised of water, an aqueous rubber latex, an organophillic clay, sodium carbonate, an epoxy resin and a hardening agent for said epoxy resin.
摘要:
A method of downhole fluid displacement and a plug utilized in the method according to which the plug is inserted in a pipe between two fluids for separating and displacing one of the fluids. The plug has a specific gravity of less than the fluid above it, so that, after the displacement operation, the plug floats to the top of the latter fluid for recovery.

The present invention provides improved compositions and methods of using the compositions for sealing subterranean zones. One composition of the invention is comprised of water, an aqueous rubber latex, an organophilic clay, sodium carbonate, an epoxy resin and a hardening agent for said epoxy resin.
摘要:
Improved methods of completing wells penetrating subterranean corrosive fluid disposal zones are provided. The methods basically comprise the steps of preparing a pumpable, water compatible, corrosion resistant, hardenable epoxy sealing composition comprised of a hardenable epoxide containing liquid and a hardening agent, placing the epoxy sealing composition in the annulus between a string of pipe and a well bore penetrating a disposal zone and allowing the epoxy sealing composition to harden.
