Abstract: A method of removing a heterogeneous scale from a surface in fluid communication with a wellbore and/or subterranean formation comprising contacting the scale with a composition comprising tetrakis(hydroxmethyl)phosphonium sulfate (THPS) and N-(2-hydroxyethyl)ethylenediaminetriacetic acid (THEDTA) to dissolve the scale having a pH in the range of about 6.0 to 8.0. The composition is suitable to remove iron sulfide and calcium carbonate scale in the absence of corrosion resistance at a temperature up to about 150° C. Also, the composition may be used remove scale from surface pipe line and other petroleum oil handling equipment.

Abstract: A well cleanup process involves removing an impermeable filter cake from a formation face with thermochemical and chelating agents to allow formation fluids to flow from a reservoir to a wellbore. The method may be used with oil and water-based drilling fluids with varied weighting agents, e.g., bentonite, calcium carbonate, or barite. Such thermochemical agents may involve two salts, e.g., NO2− and NH4+, which, when mixed together, can generate pressure and heat, in addition to hot H2O and/or N2. For example, the thermochemical agents may comprise Na+, K+, Li+, Cs+, Mg2+, Ca2+, and/or Ba2+ with NO2− and NH4+ with F−, Cl−, Br−, I−, CO32−, NO3−, ClO4−, and/or −OH. The thermochemical agents in combination with a chelator such as EDTA can removed the filter cake after 6 hours with a removal efficiency of 89 wt % for the barite filter cake in water based drilling fluid, exploiting the generation of a pressure pulse and heat which may disturb the filter cake and/or enhance barite dissolution and polymer degradation.

Abstract: A method for predicting formation permeability by measuring diffusional tortuosity in several directions by pulse gradient NMR. The method comprises evaluating an anisotropic diffusion coefficient by pulsed gradient NMR, determining diffusional tortuosity from the restricted diffusion data, supplementing the NMR results with resistivity and sonic logging data, measuring anisotropic tortuosity and porosity by resistivity and sonic data and combining all components in a single fitting model. The 11-coefficient model is trained to recognize the true values of permeability by comparing the real oil permeabilities measured in a library of oil-carrying rock cores with the NMR, resistivity and sonic correlates. The fitting coefficients are extracted by minimizing the discrepancy between the laboratory measured permeabilities and the predicted values combining all rapid logging information components with the agreement-maximizing weights.

Abstract: A method for generating hydrofluoric acid (HF) in-situ in a subterranean formation (e.g. sandstone formation) by simultaneously injecting an acid generating component having ammonium fluoride and an oxidizing agent and a heat generating component having ammonium and nitrite salts into a wellbore of the formation. The method optionally involves a pre-flush of an acid (e.g. HCl) containing solution prior to the injecting. HF is generated via an endothermic reaction of the ammonium fluoride and the oxidizing agent with the assistance of the heat provided by an exothermic reaction of the ammonium and nitrite salts. The method is effective in enhancing permeability of the formation by at least 30%.

Abstract: A well-bore monitoring process involving logging the temperature of a soil, rock, and brine mixture present in a carbonate formation continuously, and simultaneously logging the resistivity of the soil, rock, and brine mixture in the carbonate formation continuously. The logged temperature and the logged resistivity are interpreted whereby concurrent events in the logged temperature and the logged resistivity identify dissolution of rock into the mixture and precipitation of scale from the mixture. The simultaneous logging of the temperature and the resistivity is conducted in a well-bore in the carbonate rock formation.

Abstract: A drilling fluid composition includes an aqueous base fluid, 0.01 to 10 wt. % of a date palm leaves extract (DPLE), 1 to 10 wt. % of clay particles, and 0.01 to 1 wt. % of a base, where each wt. % based on a total weight of the drilling fluid composition. The DPLE is homogenously disposed on surfaces of the clay particles. The clay particles disposed with the DPLE are present in the drilling fluid composition in the form of a composite. A pellet made from the clay particles treated with the DPLE has a swelling value at least 75% less than a swelling value of the pellet in an aqueous composition that does not contain the DLPE. A method of making the drilling fluid composition.
