Methods and apparatus for using a fluid within a subterranean formation, including forming a fluid comprising an acrylamide copolymer and a formate salt, and introducing the fluid to the subterranean formation, wherein a temperature of the formation is about 149° C. or warmer. Also, methods and apparatus for a fluid for use within a subterranean formation, including an acrylamide copolymer comprising polyacrylamide, a formate salt comprising potassium, and a crosslinker comprising zirconium. Additionally, methods and apparatus for using a fluid within in a subterranean formation, including forming a fluid comprising an acrylamide copolymer and a formate salt, and introducing proppant into the fluid to form a mixture, introducing the mixture to the subterranean formation, wherein a temperature of the formation is about 149° C. or warmer.
摘要:
Compositions and methods are given for delayed breaking of viscoelastic surfactant gels inside formation pores, particularly for use in hydraulic fracturing. Breaking inside formation pores is accomplished without mechanical intervention or use of a second fluid. Acidic internal breakers such as sulfuric acid and nitric acid are used. The break may be accelerated, for example with a free radical propagating species, or retarded, for example with an oxygen scavenger.

摘要:
Internal breakers are given that break fluids viscosified with non-polymeric viscosifiers such as viscoelastic surfactants, inside formation pores. The breakers are polyols, for example natural and synthetic sugars, monoalcohols, and mixtures of the two. The sugars may be ketones and aldehydes. The sugars are also breaker aides for oxidizing agents used as breakers. Methods of using the breakers and breaker aides in oilfield treatment fluids are given.
摘要:
A method of treating a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore utilizes a treating fluid formed from an aqueous solution of a water-soluble polymer. The treating fluid further contains a crosslinking agent and an optional delayed release alkaline additive. The delayed release alkaline additive may be at least one of urea, a urea derivative, a solid alkaline earth metal carbonate, a solid alkaline earth metal oxide and combinations of these. The treating fluid further includes an acidic pH adjusting agent used in an amount to provide the treating fluid with a pH of less than about 5. The treating fluid is then introduced into the formation.
摘要:
A treatment fluid for treating a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore is formed from water, a polyacrylamide in an amount of less than about 0.5% by weight of the fluid for reducing friction of the fluid and a stabilized peroxide breaker. A method of treating a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore is carried out by forming treatment fluid comprising water, a polyacrylamide in an amount of less than about 0.5% by weight of the fluid for reducing friction of the fluid and a stabilized peroxide breaker. The treatment fluid is introduced into the formation through the wellbore at a pressure above the fracture pressure of the formation.
摘要:
Compositions and methods are given for delayed breaking of viscoelastic surfactant gels inside formation pores, particularly for use in hydraulic fracturing. Breaking inside formation pores is accomplished without mechanical intervention or use of a second fluid. Bromate oxidizing agents are used along with selected breaking activators for the bromate breaking compounds. Useful bromate breaking activators include acid-generating breaking activators, oxidizing sulfur containing breaking activators, and reducing agent breaking activators.
