摘要:
A process for plugging a porous area of well bore which comprises pumping a shear thickening composition into the well under conditions of low shear to the portion of the well bore desired to be plugged at which point subjected to high shear to form a paste which plugs or seals the porous area. The shear thickening composition comprises a water-in-oil emulsion having granular bentonite dispersed in the oily phase, said oily phase having both an oil soluble amine and a polyamine derivative surfactant dissolved therein. The aqueous phase will preferably comprises a polyacrylamide solution. This process may be used for plugging wells having depths in excess of 8,000 feet.

This invention is directed to a lubricant composition that is comprised of a continuous phase and a discontinuous phase, i.e., a two phase lubricant composition. The continuous phase and the discontinuous phase of the lubricant of this invention are oil or oil type compositions that are essentially insoluble in one another. The lubricant composition is comprised of a continuous phase base oil that is comprised of a low viscosity Group II, III, IV or GTL base stock or a blend of at least two of the Group II, III, IV and GTL base stocks, optionally including a low viscosity Group V base stock, with the continuous phase base oil having, independently, a viscosity of from 1 to 100 cSt at 100° C. The lubricant composition is further comprised of a discontinuous phase that is comprised of an ester composition having a mean average droplet size of from 0.01 microns to 20 microns, in which the ester composition is comprised of an ester compound having no ether linkages.

A process for plugging a porous formation in a well bore which comprises pumping a shear-thickening composition into drill pipe in the well under conditions of low shear to the point desired to be plugged at which point the composition is forced through the orifices of a drill bit at the end of the drill pipe and subjected to high shear of at least about 1,000 sec..sup.-1 which forms a paste in the well bore which plugs the porous formation. The shear-thickening composition comprises a water-in-oil emulsion having granular bentonite dispersed in the continuous oily phase, wherein the oily phase has a polyamine derivative surfactant dissolved therein, and the aqueous phase comprises an aqueous solution of a polyacrylamide and a polycarboxylic acid. This process may be used for plugging wells having depths in excess of 8,000 feet.
摘要:
A spacer comprising the water-in-oil emulsion portion of a shear-thickening well control fluid is used to separate drilling mud from the shear-thickening fluid in the drill pipe in the well bore to avoid premature thickening of the shear thickening fluid in the drill pipe. The shear-thickening well control fluid comprises a water-in-oil emulsion in which is dispersed granular particles of hydratable, water expandable clay.

This invention provides a method for producing a lubricant composition that is comprised of a continuous phase and a discontinuous phase. The method involves mixing together high viscosity ester, ether or combination thereof, and polar diluent or solvent, to produce a solution. The solution is then added to a low viscosity Group IV base oil to produce a discontinuous phase dispersed throughout a continuous phase.

A shear thickening composition which comprises a water-in-oil emulsion having dispersed in the continuous, oily phase thereof, hydratable, water-expandable hydrophillic clay, wherein said oily phase has a polyamine derivative surfactant dissolved therein and the dispersed aqueous phase comprises an aqueous solution of a polyacrylamide and polycarboxylic acid. These compositions are useful as well control fluids and may be used in deep wells.

The instant invention is directed to shear thickening fluids to prevent unwanted flow in wells penetrating subterranean formations. The shear thickening fluids comprise (1) a water swellable granular clay present in sufficient quantity so that, upon interaction with an aqueous phase, a stiff paste rapidly forms having a strength of at least 2000 lbs/100 ft.sup.2, (2) a nonaqueous phase comprising a hydrocarbon material and a surfactant, and (3) an aqueous phase comprising water and a watersoluble polymer. The granular clay and water-polymer solution are kept separated by the intervening hydrocarbon-surfactant composition, which is the continuous phase. The intervening oil phase prevents the interaction between the water-polymer phase and the granular clay and results in a stable, nonreacting, pumpable composite until such time as the granular clay is fragmented by application of a sufficiently high shear force. Upon such fragmenting, the clay and aqueous phase intereact resulting in a semi-rigid high strength paste which plugs any unwanted flow.

The present invention provides an enhanced biodegradation process by applying to petroleum contaminated soil or water essential microbial nutrients in a form capable of releasing the nutrients over time at a rate which, at 25.degree. C., is substantially linear. Importantly, in a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the microbial nutrients that are applied to the soil or water are in a form such that the release of nutrients at 38.degree. C. will be greater than that at 25.degree. C. by a factor of about 2.5 to 6.0, and preferably from a factor of about 3 to about 5.0.
