摘要:
Methods of consolidating unconsolidated weak zones or formations and forming chemical casings include drilling a well bore with a drilling fluid having a pH in the range of from about 6 to 10 and that comprises water, a polymeric cationic catalyst which is adsorbed on the mineral surfaces in the weak zone, a particulate curable solid thermoset resin and a delay acid catalyst for curing the solid resin, and forming a filter cake on the walls of the well bore. The filter cake is then contacted with a treating fluid comprising a water soluble or water dispersible polymer which is capable of being cross-linked by a thermoset resin and causing the resin to be hard and tough when cured, and a water soluble or dispersible thermoset resin, whereby the treating fluid components deposit on the filter cake and the thermoset resin cures into a hard and tough cross-linked chemical casing thereon.

Compositions for lost circulation materials (LCM) and methods for using same in drilling and/or completing wellbores that help solve lost circulation problems in a wide range of fracture sizes, thereby advantageously eliminating the need for a variety of products for lost circulation in a field at any one time. An unexpected synergy and improved reduction in lost circulation is obtained. The invention provides specific LCM components in specific ratios that are analogs to lost circulation fractures and that yield superior performance in preventing or alleviating lost circulation in drilling and cementing boreholes. The invention compositions have a multi-modal particle size distribution (PSD) which provides a higher concentration of component materials in the same range of two or more fracture widths, thus allowing plugging to occur over a wider range than a single mode or narrow PSD.
摘要:
A system and method for removing particles from a well bore penetrating a possible hydrocarbon producing formation, according to which drilling fluid is mixed with a weighted material, and the mixture is introduced into a well bore so that the mixture scours any particles accumulated in the well bore. A well-completion fluid is introduced into the well bore that dissolves the weighted material.
摘要:
A method of forming a flow-restricting layer on a wellbore surface prior to cementing a casing string in the wellbore. The flow-restricting layer is formed by reaction of an injected fluid with divalent ions at and near the wellbore surface. The injected fluid is a composition containing a water-soluble polymer and one or more potassium salts.

An improved water base drilling mud composition wherein calcium ions are controlled and converted to water-insoluble plant nutrient compounds by the use of monocalcium phosphate compounds, said composition comprising an aqueous suspension containing from about 5 to 35 pounds per barrel of a clay material, from about 1 to 5 pounds per barrel of an alkaline earth metal hydroxide selected from the group consisting of calcium hydroxide and mixtures of calcium hydroxide and barium hydroxide, and at least a stoichiometric amount, based on the weight of said alkaline earth metal hydroxide of said monocalcium phosphate containing compound.
摘要:
Drilling fluids are designed for drilling and cementing through shallow water flows and unconsolidated formations. Such drilling fluids utilize hollow microspheres to increase the volume of the drilling fluid without adding too much weight to the drilling fluid. The drilling fluid is also designed to employ an admixture of silicate, high surface area fibrous material, deformable graphite particles, and an activatable cementitious material to stabilize unconsolidated formations and form a tough filter cake that will bond with the cement casing.
摘要:
Fracture initiation and propagation during drilling or running casing in a well are prevented or inhibited by including an effective amount of a specially sized solid particulate loss prevention material in the well fluid prior to encountering formation breakdown in a susceptible zone.
