摘要:
The present invention provides methods and ultra-low density sealing compositions for sealing pipe in well bores penetrating formations which readily fracture at low hydrostatic pressures. A method of the invention basically comprises the steps of providing a hardenable ultra-low density sealing composition comprised of an epoxide containing liquid, a hardening agent, a hardening accelerating agent, a light weight filler and hollow glass michrospheres having a density in the range of from about 5 to 8.5 pounds per gallon, placing the sealing composition in the annulus between the pipe to be sealed and the walls of the well bore and allowing the sealing composition to harden therein.

Improved methods of drilling well bores utilizing foamed aqueous drilling fluids are provided. The methods basically comprise circulating an aqueous drilling fluid containing a single foaming and defoaming surfactant and a gas downwardly through a rotary drill pipe and drill bit connected thereto. Well bore cuttings generated by the drill bit are lifted to the surface by foam produced from the aqueous drilling fluid and gas. Upon reaching the surface, the foamed aqueous drilling fluid is defoamed whereby the cuttings and gas are removed therefrom and the aqueous drilling fluid is combined with additional foaming surfactant when needed and additional gas. The foaming and defoaming of the aqueous drilling fluid are accomplished by changing the pH of the aqueous drilling fluid from basic to acidic which causes the single foaming and defoaming surfactant to foam and defoam the aqueous drilling fluid.

The present invention provides methods and defoaming compositions for preventing the formation of foam or the entrainment of gas in a liquid fluid or for breaking a previously formed liquid fluid foam. The defoaming compositions of the invention are basically comprised of a mixture of glycerol tristearate and one or more aliphatic hydrocarbons selected from the group of olefins having one or more internal double bonds and having 14 to 18 carbon atoms and a C10 dimer of the formula
摘要:
Improved cement compositions and methods of cementing subterranean zones penetrated by well bores are provided. In accordance with the methods, a crack and shatter resistant cement composition is introduced into a subterranean zone by way of the well bore penetrating it comprised of a hydraulic cement, sufficient hydrophilic fibers to make the cement composition crack and shatter resistant upon setting and sufficient water to form a pumpable slurry. Thereafter, the cement composition is allowed to set in the subterranean zone.
