    摘要: When performing subterranean treatment operations, it can be desirable to temporarily divert or block fluid flow by forming a degradable fluid seal. Methods for forming a degradable fluid seal can comprise: providing a sealing composition comprising: a degradable polymer, and a water-soluble material comprising a first portion and a second portion of rigid particulates, each portion having a sealing time and a particulate size distribution associated therewith, the particulate size distributions of the first portion and the second portion differing from one another; determining an amount of the first portion relative to the second portion needed to produce a degradable fluid seal having a desired sealing time that is different than that of the sealing time of either the first portion or the second portion; introducing the sealing composition into a subterranean formation; and allowing the sealing composition to form a degradable fluid seal in the subterranean formation.

    摘要: Method including the steps of providing a treatment fluid that comprises a base fluid and polymeric particulates and introducing the treatment fluid into a subterranean formation having a temperature above about 65° C. The polymeric particulates comprise a degradable polymer and a plasticizer and exhibit a Tg above about −15° C. When the polymeric particulates are placed into a subterranean formation having a temperature above about 65° C. they transform from rigid form to malleable form and are able to provide fluid loss, seal the rock surfaces for fluid diversion, or plug an area along the annulus of a well bore. The malleable particulates then degrade over time in the subterranean formation.
