摘要:
The present disclosure addressed apparatus and methods for forming an annular isolator in a borehole after installation of production tubing. Annular seal means are carried in or on production tubing as it is run into a borehole. In conjunction with expansion of the tubing, the seal is deployed to form an annular isolator. An inflatable element carried on the tubing may be inflated with a fluid carried in the tubing and forced into the inflatable element during expansion of the tubing. Reactive chemicals may be carried in the tubing and injected into the annulus to react with each other and ambient fluids to increase in volume and harden into an annular seal. An elastomeric sleeve, ring or band carried on the tubing may be expanded into contact with a borehole wall and may have its radial dimension increased in conjunction with tubing expansion to form an annular isolator.

Methods are provided for increasing the temperature of a section of conduit used for the production or transmission of hydrocarbon. According to one aspect, the method includes the steps of: (a) forming a treatment fluid comprising: (i) a carrier fluid; and (ii) a first reactant and a second reactant; and (b) introducing the treatment fluid into a section of conduit used for the production or transmission of hydrocarbon. The first reactant and second reactant are selected for being capable of reacting together in an exothermic chemical reaction; and the first and second reactant are in at least sufficient concentrations in the carrier fluid to generate a theoretical heat of reaction of at least 1,000 kJ/liter of the treatment fluid. At least some of at least one of the first reactant and the second reactant is suspended in the carrier fluid in a solid form that is adapted to help control the release of the reactant into the carrier fluid.

Improved hardenable resin compositions and methods of consolidating particulate solids in subterranean zones penetrated by well bores are provided. The improved hardenable resin compositions of the invention are basically comprised of a hardenable organic resin, an aminosilane resin-to-particulate solid coupling agent, a viscous carrier fluid breaker for breaking separating films of viscous carrier fluid between resin coated particulate solids and a surface active agent for causing the resin composition to flow to the contact points between resin coated particulate solids.

Methods and compositions are provided for making a solid material for controlling the release of at least one reactant of an exothermic reaction into a carrier fluid. The method comprises the steps of: (a) mixing a reactant with a polymeric material, wherein the polymeric material is capable of being hydrated, and water, wherein the proportion of water is insufficient to substantially hydrate the polymeric material but is sufficient to make the polymeric material sticky to help bind the reactant into a matrix; and (b) drying the mixture. According to a similar aspect, methods and compositions are provided for making a solid material for use in controlling the release of a catalyst of an exothermic reaction into a carrier fluid for increasing the temperature of a section of conduit used for the production or transmission of hydrocarbon. According to other aspects, the reactant or catalyst is mixed with a binder.
