摘要:
A variety of systems, methods, and compositions are disclosed, including, a method for treating a subterranean formation, the method comprising: injecting a pad fluid into the subterranean formation at a pressure sufficient to create at least one fracture in the subterranean formation; injecting a first treatment fluid into the at least one fracture, wherein the first treatment fluid comprises: an aqueous base fluid, and a first proppant particulate; allowing the first proppant particulate to gravitationally migrate into a portion of the at least one fracture; injecting a second treatment fluid into the at least one fracture, wherein the second treatment fluid comprises: a suspension base fluid comprising a viscosity of about 50 cP to about 10,000 cP, and a second proppant particulate; and allowing the fracture to close, thereby forming a full proppant pack and a partial proppant pack in the at least one fracture.

Methods of treating a subterranean formation including providing a wellbore in a subterranean formation having at least one fracture; providing an expandable cementitious material; introducing the expandable cementitious material into the at least one fracture in the subterranean formation; curing the expandable cementitious material so as to form a cement pack, wherein the curing of the expandable cementitious material expands the expandable cementitious material such that at least one microfracture is created within the at least one fracture in the subterranean formation; and acid-fracturing the at least one fracture in the subterranean formation.
摘要:
Method of arranging proppant in a fracture of a subterranean formation are disclosed. The methods can include (a) introducing a first fluid blend through a wellbore and into the fracture to form a first proppant bank in the fracture, and (b) introducing a second fluid blend through the wellbore and into the fracture to form a second proppant bank in the fracture, wherein a viscosity of the first fluid blend is less than a viscosity of the second fluid blend. The flow of the fluids can be alternated or switched between a lower viscosity fluid blend(s) and a higher viscosity fluid blend(s), without stopping a flow of fluid to the fracture.

Methods of treating a wellbore in a subterranean formation having a top portion and a bottom portion, and a middle portion therebetween. The method includes providing a jetting fluid; providing a cement slurry; and providing a breakable gel fluid. Then introducing the jetting fluid into the bottom portion of the wellbore to create or enhance a bottom portion fracture; introducing the jetting fluid into the top portion of the wellbore to create or enhance a top portion fracture; introducing the cement slurry into the top portion fracture; introducing the cement slurry into the bottom portion fracture; and introducing the breakable gel fluid into the wellbore so as to prevent the expandable cementitious material from migrating out of the top portion fracture and bottom portion fracture. The expandable cementitious material is cured so as to form a cement pack, the breakable gel fluid is broken and removed from the subterranean formation.

摘要:
A method for blocking the permeability of a portion of a subterranean formation including the steps of: (a) selecting the portion of the subterranean formation to be treated, wherein the bottomhole temperature of the portion of the subterranean formation is equal to or greater than 250° F. (121° C.); (b) selecting estimated treatment conditions, wherein the estimated treatment conditions comprise temperature over a treatment time; (c) forming a treatment fluid that is a crosslinkable polymer composition comprising: (i) a water-soluble polymer, wherein the water-soluble polymer comprises a polymer of at least one non-acidic ethylenically unsaturated polar monomer; (ii) an organic crosslinker capable of crosslinking the water-soluble polymer; (iii) an ammonium halide; and (iv) water; (d) selecting the water-soluble polymer, the crosslinker, the ammonium halide, and the water, and the proportions thereof, such that the gelation time is at least 2 hours under the estimated treatment conditions; and (e) injecting the treatment fluid.
