    Abstract: A water-base fluid for use in drilling, cementing, workover, fracturing and abandonment of subterranean wells through a formation containing shale which swells in the presence of water. In one illustrative embodiment, the drilling fluid is composed of an aqueous based continuous phase, a weighting agent, and a shale hydration inhibition agent. The shale hydration inhibition agent should have the general formula: in which R and R′ independently selected from hydrogen, methyl, ethyl or propyl, and X has a value from 1 to 6. The shale hydration inhibition agent is present in sufficient concentration to substantially reduce the swelling of shale drilling cuttings upon contact with the drilling fluid. The drilling fluid may be formulated to include a wide variety of components of aqueous based drilling fluids, such as weighting agents, fluid loss control agents, suspending agents, viscosifying agents, rheology control agents, as well as other compounds and materials known to one of skill in the art. The fluids may also be used in fracturing and the disposal by reinjection of drilling cutting into a selected subterranean disposal formation.

    Abstract: The present invention is directed to an under-neutralized alkylxylene sulfonic acid composition for enhanced oil recovery processes. The present invention is also directed to a method for enhancing the recovery of oil from a subterranean reservoir which method employs the under-neutralized alkylxylene sulfonic acid compositions of the present invention. The under-neutralized alkylxylene sulfonic acid compositions are employed in an aqueous media. The method optionally employs suitable co-surfactants, such as alcohols, alcohol ethers, polyalkylene glycols, poly(oxyalkylene)glycols and/or poly(oxyalkylene)glycol ethers.

    Abstract: This invention relates to drilling fluids, to drilling lubricants for such drilling fluids and to methods of drilling wells, particularly oil and/or gas wells using such drilling fluids. In particular, the invention relates to the inclusion of lubricants which afford lubrication in drilling fluids in which the lubricant compatibility and/or performance may be adversely affected by other components of the drilling fluid, particularly divalent cations such as calcium, formate salts or highly alkaline components such as alkali silicate.

    Abstract: A method of improving the lubricity of an aqueous based drilling fluid composed of an aqueous base fluid, and a weighting agent. The method involves the addition of an effective amount of a phospholipid to substantially reduce the coefficient of friction when compared to the fluid absent the phospholipids. Preferably the phospholipids have the structure: in which R and R′ are C6 to C25 hydrocarbon groups; and A is an anion to counter the cationic charge.

    Abstract: Stimulation, particularly fracturing or acidising, of hydrocarbon wells having bores leading to hydrocarbon bearing uses a fluid including a continuous phase of or including a compound of the formula (1): (R2)p—Ph—(CH2)m—COO—(AO)n—R1 where R1, AO, n, m, Ph, R2 and p having defined meanings and particularly where the esters are alkyl or alkenyl benzoate esters. These esters are beneficial by having a range of viscosities, especially extending to low viscosities, and attractive toxicological and environmental profiles for use in well stimulation.

    Abstract: Drilling fluids are designed for drilling and cementing through shallow water flows and unconsolidated formations. Such drilling fluids utilize hollow microspheres to increase the volume of the drilling fluid without adding too much weight to the drilling fluid. The drilling fluid is also designed to employ an admixture of silicate, high surface area fibrous material, deformable graphite particles, and an activatable cementitious material to stabilize unconsolidated formations and form a tough filter cake that will bond with the cement casing.

    Abstract: A water-based drilling fluid for use in shale formations having a given average pore size has solutes dissolved therein sized so as to allow the pores of the shale formations to at least partially restrict the solutes. For purposes of enhancing the restriction of the solutes by the shale pores, the dissolved solutes may have different radii. Additional solutes, preferably lower molecular weight salts, are dissolved in the drilling fluid to lower the activity of the water in the water-based drilling fluid.The same combination of additives, a first additive of dissolved molecular solutes sized to at least partially block a shale pore space and a second additive of dissolved molecular solutes selected to lower the water activity, are combined in a water-based carrier fluid and used in earth boreholes surrounded by shale formations as either a spotting fluid, or as a lubricant, or as a shale formation strengthener or as a completion fluid.
