摘要:
A composite of a well treatment agent adsorbed onto a water-insoluble adsorbent is useful in the treatment of oil and gas wells and may be introduced, as a well treatment fluid, with a carrier fluid. The water-insoluble adsorbent may be activated carbon, silica particulate, precipitated silica, zeolite, diatomaceous earth, ground walnut shells, fuller's earth and organic synthetic high molecular weight water-insoluble adsorbents. Suitable as the well treatment agent are scale inhibitors, corrosion inhibitors, paraffin inhibitors, salt inhibitors, gas hydrate inhibitors, asphaltene inhibitors, oxygen scavengers, biocides, foaming agent, emulsion breakers and surfactants.
摘要:
A method of fracturing a subterranean formation comprises introducing into the formation at a pressure sufficient to create or enlarge a fracture in the formation a fracturing composition comprising a carrier and a substantially spherical polymeric particulate derived from a cashew nut shell liquid, the substantially spherical polymeric particulate having an apparent specific gravity of less than about 2.4.
摘要:
Asparaginase, such as asparaginase derived from Aspergillus oryzae, may be used to break down or defragment polyacrylamides in oil field applications. The asparaginase is useful in reducing the viscosity of a fracturing fluid containing polyacrylamide and a crosslinking agent. The asparaginase is also useful in breaking down or defragmenting a polyacrylamide friction reducing agent, such as in a slickwater fracturing operation. Asparaginase may also be used to break down or defragment filter cakes containing polyacrylamide.
摘要:
Well treatment fluids and methods of treating high temperature subterranean formations of up to about 500° F. (260° C.) are provided. The well treatment fluids and methods utilize a high molecular weight synthetic copolymer and a pH buffer than maintains a pH in a range of about 4.5 to about 5.25 for the fluids. The high molecular weight synthetic copolymer is derived from acrylamide, acrylamidomethylpropanesulfonic acid, and vinyl phosphonates. The well treatment fluids may be energized or foamed.
摘要:
Methods and compositions useful for subterranean formation treatments, such as hydraulic fracturing treatments and sand control that include porous materials. Such porous materials may be selectively configured porous material particles manufactured and/or treated with selected glazing materials, coating materials and/or penetrating materials to have desired strength and/or apparent density to fit particular downhole conditions for well treating such as hydraulic fracturing treatments and sand control treatments. Porous materials may also be employed in selected combinations to optimize fracture or sand control performance, and/or may be employed as relatively lightweight materials in liquid carbon dioxide-based well treatment systems.
摘要:
A method of cementing a wellbore comprises injecting into the wellbore a cement slurry comprising an encapsulated accelerant comprising an accelerant encapsulated within an encapsulation material; a cementitious material; and an aqueous carrier; and releasing the accelerant from the encapsulation material.

摘要:
A method of treating a subterranean formation comprises forming a storable aqueous suspension comprising a carrier fluid, a superabsorbent polymer, a proppant the proppant being suspended in the carrier fluid as a substantially perfectly supported particulate; diluting the storable aqueous suspension in-line to a desired concentration; and introducing the diluted storable aqueous suspension into the subterranean formation. A sand control method is also disclosed.
摘要:
Shaped particulates which have been compressed from a composite of a well treatment agent and adsorbent in a matrix may be introduced into horizontal or deviated oil or gas wells. The well treatment agent of the shaped pellets may be used to prevent and/or control the formation of deposits in a production well.
摘要:
Spherical porous and non-porous cellulose particulates for use in sand control as well as stimulation procedures, may be prepared by first dissolving cellulosic materials (such as fibrous cellulose, wood pulp linters, cotton balls and/or paper), in the substantial absence of water or a nitrogen-containing base, in an ionic liquid. The solution is then combined with a cellulose-insoluble liquid to render the spherical particulates. The surface of the cellulosic particulates may be treated with a coating or penetrating layer.
