    摘要: Disclosed herein are magnesium alloys and methods of making and use thereof. For example, disclosed herein are magnesium alloys comprising: from 0 to 1.5 wt. % Zn; from 0 to 1.5 wt. % Al; less than 0.2 wt. % Ca; from 0.2 to 0.4 wt. % Ce; from 0.1 to 0.8 wt. % Mn; and the balance comprising Mg. In some examples, the magnesium alloy comprises less than 1 wt. % Zn. In some examples, the magnesium alloy comprises less than 1 wt. % Al. In some examples, the magnesium alloy exhibits substantially no incipient melting when extruded with a ram speed of from 1.00 to 10.00 ipm. In some examples, the magnesium alloy is substantially free of a Mg2Ca phase, an AlCaMg phase, an Al2Ca phase, a Ca2Mg6Zn3 phase, or a combination thereof. In some examples, the magnesium alloy is substantially free of a Mg2Ca phase.

    摘要: Expandable tube members that are fabricated from a composite material that includes a structural plastic, which structural plastic includes phase change materials that undergo a permanent expansion upon exposure to wellbore conditions. This permanent expansion of the structural plastic causes the expandable tube member to expand radially and/or longitudinally without the use of an expansion tool. The expandable tube member can be used to control fluid loss, patch wells, stabilize a formation in a wellbore, enhance flow, provide sand screening, and repair damaged pipes, casings, or liners.

    摘要: The present invention pertains to a method for enhancing wellbore integrity and/or for sealing a wellbore by sealing formation or micro-annulus fractures in a wellbore. Such sealing can be at least partially accomplished by the use of timed expansion of an expandable sealant material that is placed a wellbore. The expansion of the expandable sealant material causes the cement surface or formation surface to be compressed, thereby creating a tight seal and/or eliminating annulus cracking, fracture, and/or gas channels in the wellbore. A degradable polymer can be used when restoration of the wellbore formation is desired.

    摘要: A castable, moldable, and/or extrudable structure using a metallic primary alloy. One or more additives are added to the metallic primary alloy so that in situ galvanically-active reinforcement particles are formed in the melt or on cooling from the melt. The composite contain an optimal composition and morphology to achieve a specific galvanic corrosion rate in the entire composite. The in situ formed galvanically-active particles can be used to enhance mechanical properties of the composite, such as ductility and/or tensile strength. The final casting can also be enhanced by heat treatment, as well as deformation processing such as extrusion, forging, or rolling, to further improve the strength of the final composite over the as-cast material.

    摘要: A castable, moldable, or extrudable structure using a metallic base metal or base metal alloy. One or more insoluble additives are added to the metallic base metal or base metal alloy so that the grain boundaries of the castable, moldable, or extrudable structure includes a composition and morphology to achieve a specific galvanic corrosion rates partially or throughout the structure or along the grain boundaries of the structure. The insoluble additives can be used to enhance the mechanical properties of the structure, such as ductility and/or tensile strength. The insoluble particles generally have a submicron particle size. The final structure can be enhanced by heat treatment, as well as deformation processing such as extrusion, forging, or rolling, to further improve the strength of the final structure as compared to the non-enhanced structure.

    摘要: A modified high density brine for use in subterranean drilling and completion operations. The modified high density brine includes the addition of high density particle addition that can optionally be surface-modified. The resultant modified high density brine eliminates the need for toxic, corrosive, and costly ZrBr2 additions or other ionic additives to boost the density of the modified high density brine to 15-17 lbs./gallon or greater.
