    摘要: A lost circulation material (LCM) that includes chips formed from date palm seeds. The date palm seed-based chip LCM includes chips having lengths in the range of greater than 2.38 millimeters (mm) to less than 6.73 mm. Method of manufacturing the date palm seed-based chip LCM include washing and drying whole date tree seeds, such that the drying includes air-drying, hot rolling, and cooling. Methods of reducing lost circulation are also provided.

    摘要: Alkyl ester spotting fluid compositions and processes for freeing differentially stuck pipe are provided. An alkyl ester spotting fluid composition includes an invert emulsion having an alkyl ester as the external phase and water as the internal phase. In some embodiments, the alkyl ester spotting fluid composition may include the alkyl ester invert emulsion and an emulsifier. The alkyl ester spotting fluid composition may be introduced downhole in the vicinity of a portion of a differentially stuck pipe such that the spotting fluid composition contacts the mudcake and frees the differentially stuck pipe.

    摘要: A method for preparing concentrated and stable nanoparticle organosols using phase transfer is disclosed. The method includes transferring nanoparticles from a hydrosol into a hydrocarbon carrier with the aid of a transfer agent. The transfer agent can be added before, during or after the reaction of nanoparticle preparation and can be added to the aqueous or the organic carrier. The nanoparticles may be prepared in situ, pre-prepared in-house or commercially available. At the optimum values of the different parameters; namely precursor concentrations, amount of transfer agent and concentration of nanoparticles in the organosol, complete transfer of the nanoparticles may be achieved. The approach employs room temperature, moderate mixing and minimum number and quantity of chemicals relative to prior art. The nanoparticles may be used in fluids used in oil and gas recovery including drilling, completion, and stimulation fluids.
