    摘要: The invention concerns an aqueous viscoelastic fluid for use in the recovery of hydrocarbons. According to the invention, the aqueous viscoelastic fluid comprises a monomer, a dimer or an oligomer of a viscoelastic surfactant able to form a viscoelastic gel under downhole conditions, said surfactant comprising a hydrophobic tail and a hydrophilic head, and being of the following formulae: R—X—Y-Z where R is the hydrophobic tail of the surfactant, Z is the hydrophilic head of the surfactant, said hydrophilic head being charged, X is a stabilising group and Y chain is a linear, saturated or unsaturated, hydrocarbon chain of 1, 2 or 3 carbon atoms or a branched, saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon chain wherein the main chain is of 1, 2 or 3 carbon atoms, possibly incorporating an aromatic ring.

    摘要: In the rotary drilling of oil wells a drilling mud is used both to transport the cuttings up to the surface and to impose an hydrostatic pressure on the walls of the borehole. For these functions the mud must for example have an acceptable viscosity and density. It is therefore important to monitor the characteristics of the mud, and to keep them within certain limits. Only recently, however, has drilling practice recognized the importance of monitoring the mud's ionic composition. The various techniques proposed involve separation of the mud into liquid and solid portions, and analysis of these. Though they have proven useful, yet there are a number of problems. For example, the separation has not always been easy, and the available techniques often may not satisfactorily remove the fines. The invention suggests that these two problems, at least, can be overcome by the relatively simple expedient of first acidifying the mud sample, for acidification both causes the mud particles to flocculate, and so be more easily separated off, and causes the active fines to dissolve. In a preferred embodiment hydrobromic acid is employed, together with tetramethylammonium bromide (a displacement agent enabling the mud solid's Cationic Exchange Capacity to be measured), the separation is by filtration, and the analysis is by ion chromatography--and the results are fed into a computer model that then calculates the original mud components.

    摘要: A process for hydraulic fracturing of a subterranean reservoir formation penetrated by a wellbore includes pumping a fracturing fluid or other aqueous fluid from the surface via the wellbore and into the reservoir. This fluid is an aqueous suspension of particles which each comprise an oilfield chemical distributed within an encapsulating matrix of water-insoluble carrier material. The encapsulating matrix is chosen so as to provide a delayed release of the oilfield chemical from the particles into surrounding fluid, such that oilfield chemical is liberated from the particles after they have entered the fracture. The encapsulating matrix may be a polymer which is at least partially amorphous, with a glass transition temperature below the reservoir temperature.
