    摘要: Delivery of a substance to a subterranean location is achieved by suspending the substance as nanoparticles in a carrier fluid in which the substance is insoluble. The procedure may start by forming a dispersible powder composition, which is done by dissolving the substance in a solvent, emulsifying the resulting solution as the dispersed phase of an emulsion, and freeze-drying the emulsion to a powder. On mixing the powder with a fluid in which the substance is insoluble, any soluble constituents of the powder dissolve and the insoluble substance becomes a dispersion of nanoparticles of the substance. Then, the fluid containing the dispersed substance is pumped to the subterranean location. The dispersion of nanoparticles has surprising stability, facilitating transport to the subterranean location. At the subterranean location the dispersed nanoparticles may migrate into other fluid encountered there: more specifically a dispersed tracer substance may migrate from injected water into hydrocarbon in a hydrocarbon reservoir. Another possibility is that dispersion as nanoparticles enables interaction with other constituents of the fluid to be delayed until the subterranean location is reached: more specifically the fluid may contain polymer and the dispersed nanoparticles may comprise an agent which participates in cross-linking and consequent viscosification of the polymer.

    摘要: A non-aqueous wellbore fluid comprises a non-aqueous continuous phase with one or more organic salts having the formula ((R1-Q)pX)mZn, one or more oligomeric organic salts based on linked ((R1-Q)pX)mZn subunits, or a combination thereof dissolved therein. X is a negatively charged functional group. R1 is an organic group comprising a principal straight chain and one or more side chains which branch from and are shorter than said principal straight chain. Q is a covalent bond or a polar linkage group which connects a terminal atom of the principal straight chain of the organic group R1 to the functional group X. p is a positive integer which is the number of organic groups R1 which are connected to the functional group X. Z is a cation. m and n are positive integers which ensure that the organic salts are charge neutral. The one or more organic salts increase the electrical conductivity of the wellbore fluid.

    摘要: Some embodiments of the disclosed invention include a method for acquiring marine seismic data using solid streamers in a curved pattern. Streamers can be towed in a curved pattern within a body of water. While being towed in the curved patter the source may be fired and response data can be collected by the streamers as they are towed through the water in the curved/circular pattern. These streamers can be solid streamers and can be filled with a gel like substance. Moreover, the streamers can be placed at various known depths within the body of water.
