    Abstract: A method and materials for stabilizing a wellbore against excess fluid pressure is described. It comprises forming or placing a flexible and essentially impermeable lining on or in the wellbore wall. The flexibility of the lining ensures that it remains in compression as the pressure in the wellbore is increased above the fluid pressure in the surrounding rock and it therefore does not need high tensile strength. The lining may be a preformed elastomer sleeve or formed in situ by the use of a reactive drilling fluid. Appropriate reactive formulations are described for the situation where the rock contains significant quantities of clay.

    CPC classification number: E21B43/261 E21B33/138

    Abstract: The invention relates to oil production stimulation methods and can be used for both reservoirs with fractures resulting from the fracturing procedure and reservoirs with naturally occurring fractures, for which the fracturing procedure is not mandatory. A material which expands while hardening or setting, is injected into the near-wellbore region of a cased well, into the space between the casing and the reservoir, and the wellbore is then perforated. A material having an expansion degree sufficient for application of pressure to the wellbore walls and for keeping at least one fracture open is used as the material which expands while hardening or setting. After the perforation has been done, the reservoir is hydraulically fractured. For naturally fractured reservoirs, the fracturing procedure is not mandatory.

    Abstract: The methods of evaluating a geometry of a hydraulic fracture in a rock formation penetrated by a borehole comprises the steps of measuring the values of electric or magnetic fields, or both electric and magnetic fields generated due to the electrokinetic effect by the flow of an electrolyte-based fracturing fluid from the borehole into the fracture and from the fracture into the formation or by the reverse flow of the fluid from the rock formation and from the fracture into the borehole and determining the geometry of the fracture from the measured values. The methods may provide for varying the injection pressure, varying the value of the electrokinetic coupling coefficient of the fracturing fluid or applying at least one pressure pulse of a given magnitude to the fracturing fluid.

    Abstract: The invention relates to monitoring of fluid-filled domains in various media including, for example, subterranean formations, construction elements, bones. Claimed are a method for determining characteristic sizes of a fluid-filled crack in a medium and a system for implementation thereof. In accordance with this method, oscillations of the fluid-filled crack are registered. Wave characteristics of standing interface waves propagating along the fluid-filled crack surfaces are determined based on the registered oscillations taking medium and fluid properties into account. The fluid-filled crack characteristic sizes are calculated based on the determined wave characteristics of the standing interface waves. Also claimed are methods for detecting creation or existence of a fluid-filled crack in a medium, for hydraulic fracturing in a subterranean formation, for detecting cessation of propagation of a fluid-filled crack in a medium, as well as a method for determining properties of a fluid filling a layer in a medium, of the medium and of the layer. Analysis of oscillations of fluid-filled domains based on interface waves propagating along their surfaces underlies all the methods listed above. The proposed methods, by virtue of the simplicity of data processing inherent thereto, can be implemented in real time.

    Abstract: A method is given for improving the clean-up of fracture fluid from a fracture by assisting Darcy flow by electro-osmotic effects. Proppants having suitable surface potential, and fracture fluids having suitable electrical conductivity are chosen. Then a suitable electric field is imposed, using electrodes placed on the surface or in adjacent wells. The current creates an electro-osmotic flow that carries fluid to the wellbore.
