    摘要: Methods of completing poorly consolidated subterranean formations bounded by one or more consolidated formations to prevent sand production from the poorly consolidated formations are provided. The methods basically comprise the steps of drilling a well bore into the consolidated boundary formation adjacent to the poorly consolidated formation, creating a propped fracture communicating with the well bore in the consolidated boundary formation which extends into the poorly consolidated formation and producing fluids from the poorly consolidated formation into the well bore by way of the propped fracture.

    摘要: An improved method for fracturing oil wells is disclosed and claimed herein. In particular, the present invention involves the determination of the direction of fracture propagation, i.e., perpendicular to the minimum stress existing within a given formation and the alignment of perforations produced by a variety of perforating devices with the previously determined direction of fracture propagation. The methods disclosed and claimed herein will eliminate many problems encountered in the prior art, including reducing the pressure required to initiate fractures and reducing the undesirable effects of near wellbore tortuosity.

    摘要: A method for the determination of anisotropic material properties in subterranean rock formations by means of radially oriented and generally equally angularly spaced sidewall cores obtained by use of a rotary sidewall coring tool. The measurement values obtained from testing of the sidewall cores are utilized to obtain an accurate prediction of the shape of the ellipse that describes the variation in the material property under consideration as a function of direction in the bedding plane of the subterranean rock formation.

    摘要: The invention provides a method for determining the orientation of a wellbore relative to stress fields within a formation through analysis of pressure climb data during a test fracturing operation. The test fracturing operation may be formed in a plurality of wells having a known angular relation to one another in a given formation. A known angular or azimuthal relationship between the wells may be correlated with the derivative of the pressure decline proximate the relief in pressure area to define maximum azimuthal stress field and a minimum azimuthal stress field in the formation.

    摘要: An improved method and apparatus are provided for orienting a particular well completion in accordance with azimuths determined with respect to magnetic north. The invention permits the perforating gun of a wireline tool to be properly oriented in either a vertical or non-vertical wellbore. A wireline tool is described whose lower section contains a gun section and is rotatably joined to the upper section and may be rotated about a swivel joint assembly to move independently of the upper section and in accordance with an orienting means. The rotation may be accomplished by mechanical, hydraulic or electrical means of imparting rotation. In addition, preferred embodiments of the invention include a distant display such that operators may verify directional orientation of charges prior to initiating them. Alternative embodiments are provided for practicing the invention using multiple passes into the well which involve less risk of damage to portions of the well tool.

    摘要: The present invention provides methods and apparatus for determining the gas permeability of very low permeability subterranean formations as well as the gas permeability reducing effects of injecting one or more treatment fluids thereinto. A gas is injected into a core sample of the formation at a selected substantially constant pressure, and the injection is continued for a long period of time to insure steady state flow conditions. The temperature of the gas as it flows through the core sample and the flow rate of the gas exiting the core sample are measured, and the native state gas permeability of the core sample is calculated therefrom. One or more treatment fluids can be injected into the core sample after the native state permeability is determined. Thereafter, the gas permeability can again be determined and compared to the native state permeability.

    摘要: An additive for addition to conventional well treatment fluids to enhance the ability of the fluids to be recovered from subterranean formations, to generate a foam in association with the fluids and/or to enhance the ability of the fluids to remove water and other connate fluids interlocked with gas in the formations. The additive includes about 25% to about 50% by volume of a microemulsion generating component which forms an acid and/or water external microemulsion when added to the treatment fluid, and about 50% to about 75% by volume of a foaming agent component. The foaming agent component includes at least one nonionic surface active agent having an HLB of from 12 to 22. The additive is particularly suitable for addition to foam fracturing fluids useful for stimulating tight or otherwise unconventional gas formations. Also provided are a gas well treatment composition employing the inventive additive and a method of treating a subterranean formation in which the inventive composition is employed.
