摘要： This invention relates to compositions and methods for treating subterranean formations, in particular, oilfield stimulation compositions and methods using water-in-water polymer emulsions to uniformly dissolve a rheologically active polymer, such as a thickener or friction reducer, in the treatment fluid. The emulsions have a low viscosity and are easily pumped for mixing into a treatment fluid, where upon dilution with an aqueous medium, the polymer is easily hydrated without forming fish-eyes. The partitioning agent in the water-in-water emulsion does not generally affect the rheology of the treatment fluid. The invention also relates to further processing of the emulsion by wet grinding, high shear mixing and/or heating to enhance the hydration rate in the preparation of the well treatment fluid.

摘要： Methods and compositions are disclosed for controlled addition of components that decrease the viscosity of the viscoelastic surfactant fluids or for controlled changes in the electrolyte concentration or composition of the viscoelastic surfactant fluids. One aspect of the invention relates to the use of internal breakers with a delayed activation. Another aspect of the invention relates to the use of precursors that release a breaking system such as alcohol by a process such as melting, slow dissolution, reaction with a compound present in the fluid or added to the fluid during or after the step of injecting, rupture of an encapsulating coating and de-adsorption of a breaking agent absorbed into solid particles. In another aspect of the invention, alcohols are included in a pad to reduce the low-shear viscosity and reduce the resistance to flow of the treatment fluids during a desired phase of the treatment.

摘要： Process fluids comprising more than 1 wt % polyacrylamide and a non-metallic crosslinker may be used to control lost circulation in subterranean wells. The process fluid is placed into a subterranean lost-circulation zone and allowed to crosslink, thereby forming a gel barrier that limits further flow of process fluid into the zone. The non-metallic crosslinker may preferably comprise one or more polylactams. A pH-adjusting agent may also be incorporated into the process fluid.

摘要： A method of providing a viscous emulsion at a subterranean location accessible via a wellbore, begins by providing an aqueous/aqueous emulsion comprising two aqueous solutions which, at surface temperature and pressure, are able to co-exist as separate aqueous phases in contact with each other. The two phases contain respective solutes which are sufficiently incompatible that they cause phase separation. The dispersed phase is rich in one solute, which may be a thickening polymer, while continuous phase is rich in a second solute, which may comprise surfactant. A hydrophobic liquid is dispersed in this emulsion to become the dispersed phase of a viscous emulsion whose continuous phase is provided by the aqueous/aqueous emulsion. The hydrophobic liquid and the aqueous/aqueous emulsion may be pumped separately down the wellbore to the subterranean location, and allowed to mix there so as to form the viscous emulsion at the subterranean location. On mixing, surfactant from the aqueous/aqueous emulsion may migrate to the oil/water interface, allowing the aqueous phases to become one phase with the result that the emulsion is further thickened by any thickening polymer in its composition. Even more thickening can be achieved by crosslinking the thickening polymer.
