Abstract: A chemical gel system having a polymer and a silicon oxide Janus nanosheets crosslinker for treating thief zones in carbonate formations. The polymer and silicon oxide Janus nanosheets crosslinker may form a crosslinked polymer gel to reduce or prevent water production via thief zones during hydrocarbon production. The silicon oxide Janus nanosheets crosslinker includes a first side having negatively charged functional groups and a second side having amines. The negatively charged functional groups may include negatively charged oxygen groups and hydroxyl groups. Methods of reducing water production in a thief zone using the silicon oxide Janus nanosheets crosslinker and methods of manufacturing the silicon oxide Janus nanosheets crosslinker are also provided.

Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a method of producing a viscoelastic surfactant (VES) fluid, the VES fluid comprising desulfated seawater. The method of producing the VES fluid comprises adding an alkaline earth metal halide to seawater to produce a sulfate precipitate. The method further comprises removing the sulfate precipitate to produce the desulfated water. The method further comprises adding a VES and one or more of a nanoparticle viscosity modifier or a polymeric modifier to the desulfated seawater. Other embodiments are directed to VES fluids that maintain a viscosity greater than 10 cP at temperatures above 250° F.

Abstract: Gelled hydrocarbon fracturing fluids and their methods of preparation and use are provided. The gelled hydrocarbon fracturing fluid includes a hydrocarbon fluid, a phosphate ester, a crosslinker and a viscosifier. The crosslinker may include iron, aluminum, or combinations thereof and the viscosifier may include clay, graphite, carbon nanotubes, metallic oxide nanoparticles, and combinations thereof. The method of preparation includes combining a hydrocarbon fluid, phosphate ester, and crosslinker to form a baseline fluid. A viscosifier is added to the baseline fluid to form a gelled hydrocarbon fracturing fluid. The method of use includes treating a subterranean formation by contacting a subterranean formation with a gelled hydrocarbon fracturing fluid and generating at least one fracture in the subterranean formation.

Abstract: A fracturing fluid including a base fluid including salt water, a polymer, a crosslinker, and a nanomaterial. The crosslinker may include a Zr crosslinker, a Ti crosslinker, an Al crosslinker, a borate crosslinker, or a combination thereof. The nanomaterial may include ZrO2 nanoparticles, TiO2 nanoparticles, CeO2 nanoparticles; Zr nanoparticles, Ti nanoparticles, Ce nanoparticles, metal-organic polyhedra including Zr, Ti, Ce, or a combination thereof; carbon nanotubes, carbon nanorods, nano graphene, nano graphene oxide; or any combination thereof. The viscosity and viscosity lifetime of fracturing fluids with both crosslinkers and nanomaterials are greater than the sum of the effects of crosslinkers and nanomaterials taken separately. Moreover, this synergistic effect offers significant, practical advantages, including the ability to use salt water rather than fresh water for fracturing fluids, the ability to reduce polymer loading to achieve a desired viscosity, and the ability to achieve better formation cleanup after the fracturing treatment.
