摘要:
A delayed acid breaker comprising: an inclusion compound comprising: a host molecule of cyclodextrin; and a guest molecule of an acid precursor, wherein the acid precursor hydrolyzes in water to form an acid, and wherein the acid degrades at least a portion of a filtercake located within a subterranean formation. A method of removing a filtercake from a subterranean formation comprising: introducing the delayed acid breaker into the subterranean formation; and allowing the acid precursor to form the acid after a desired amount of time has elapsed since the introduction of the delayed acid breaker into the subterranean formation.
摘要:
Methods of treating a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore of a well, wherein the subterranean formation includes carbonate. The methods can include the following steps of: (1) optionally, fracturing the subterranean formation; (2) optionally, acidizing the subterranean formation with a Bronsted-Lowry acid; (3) treating the subterranean formation with an acid-producing microorganism, a nutrient for the microorganism, and, if needed, a suitable electron acceptor for respiration by the microorganism; (4) optionally, flushing the wellbore with a wash fluid to push the microorganism deeper into the subterranean formation and wash it away from the metal tubulars of the well; (5) preferably, shutting-in the well for a required incubation period for in-situ acid generation by the microorganism; and (6) preferably, after the shut-in, flowing back fluid from the subterranean formation into the wellbore.
摘要:
A persulfate compound activated by a strong base is used for low-temperature breaking of fluids viscosified with one or more water-soluble synthetic polymers, wherein the water-soluble synthetic polymers are selected from the group consisting of polyacrylamides, copolymers of polyacrylamide, derivatives of polyacrylamide or of copolymers of polyacrylamide, and any combination thereof. The breaker system can be used in an oilfield or pipeline application where such a synthetic polymer, a multi-chain polysaccharide, or combination thereof may be present in a fluid. It is particularly useful at low temperatures of less than 100° F.

Sealant compositions that may be used for creating fluid flow preventing barriers in a subterranean formation. A method may comprise reacting components comprising an oxazoline functionalized polymer and a crosslinking agent in a subterranean formation to create a barrier in the subterranean formation.
摘要:
A subterranean treatment fluid may include an invert emulsion including a clarified diutan-based gelled aqueous internal phase and a mineral oil-based external phase, and an acid composition. The acid composition may include at least one acid selected: formic acid, acetic acid, propionic acid, lactic acid, glycolic acid, and combinations thereof, at least one acid-generating compound selected from: an ester; an aliphatic polyester; an ortho ester; a poly(ortho ester); an ortho ether; a poly(ortho ether); a lactide; a poly(lactide); a glycolide; a poly(glycolide); an ε-caprolactone; a poly(ε-caprolactone); a hydroxybutyrate; a poly(hydroxybutyrate); an anhydride; a poly(anhydride); an aliphatic carbonate; an aliphatic polycarbonate; an amino acid; a poly(amino acid), and combinations thereof, or a combination of the at least one acid and the at least one acid-generating compound. The subterranean treatment fluid may have a density less than water.
摘要:
A treatment fluid and method treating a zone of a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore. The treatment fluid includes: (i) water; (ii) a strong acid; (iii) a cationic viscoelastic surfactant; (iv) an anionic organic component having at least 4 carbon atoms; and (v) a non-cationic corrosion inhibitor; wherein the pH of the treatment fluid is less than 0.5. Preferably, the viscosity of the treatment fluid is less than 5 cP at 40 sec-1. The method includes the steps of: (A) forming the treatment fluid; (B) introducing the treatment fluid through the wellbore into the zone; and (C) allowing time for the strong acid in the treatment fluid to spend in the formation. Preferably, as the acid spends in the subterranean formation, the viscosity of the treatment fluid increases in the well to above 5 cP. Such a treatment fluid shows good rheological properties at temperatures above 93° C. (200° F.).
