摘要:
Gelled acidic compositions suitable for either matrix-acidizing or fracture-acidizing of subterranean formations, and methods of using said compositions in acidizing operation, are provided. Said compositions comprise water, a water-soluble cellulose ether, an acid, a water-soluble compound of a polyvalent metal wherein the metal can be reduced to a lower polyvalent valence state and cause gelation of the water containing said cellulose ether and said acid, and a reducing agent capable of reducing said metal and causing said gelation.

摘要:
Improvements in secondary recovery operations for the recovery of oil, and improvements in well drilling operations, are accomplished through the use of aqueous mediums comprising aqueous gels prepared from water and certain polymers such as polyacrylamides and related polymers.
摘要:
A swellable polymer gel composition for use in subterranean formations. The composition comprises water, a water soluble polymer, a water soluble crosslinking system and a swelling agent. The crosslinking system may be either a redox system or a chelating system. The amounts of the polymer and the crosslinking system are effective to form a substantially uniformly reacted tri-dimensional gel structure. To the gel solution, is added a swelling agent in an amount sufficient to increase the volume of the gel a predetermined percentage. The swelling agent may be a natural or a synthetic agent. A strengthening agent may be added to increase the gel strength of the composition. The composition has numerous uses and is particularly useful in oil industry applications such as plugging wells, sealing casing leaks and reducing water production from water-bearing hydrocarbon formations. The composition is economically produced, preserves the wellbore for future reentry in plugging operations, inhibits corrosion of casing by the hydration of water, inhibits the leaching of hazardous metal into the environment, and continuously expands in the presence of water.
摘要:
Excessive water production from a producing gas well is substantially reduced by the injection of a hydrocarbon-diluted water-in-oil emulsion comprising a viscosifying polymer such as polyacrylamide, the injected emulsified polymer swelling on contact with connate water in the subsurface gas producing formation to restrict transfer of water therethrough toward the producing gas well.

摘要:
A method for reducing the quantity of water produced from a well bore-penetrated subterranean formation and for increasing the production rate of fluid hydrocarbons produced from said formation. Said method comprises injecting into said formation an aqueous solution of a partially hydrolyzed polyacrylamide, and contacting said polyacrylamide in situ with an aqueous solution containing divalent and/or trivalent metal cations.
