Abstract:
A valve assembly for reversibly governing fluid flow through coiled tubing equipment. Valves of the assembly may be directed by a telemetric line running from an oilfield surface. In this manner, valve adjustment and/or reversibility need not require removal of the assembly from the well in order to attain manual accessibility. Similarly, operation of the valves is not reliant on any particular flow rate or other application limiting means. As such, multiple fluid treatments at a variety of different downhole locations may take place with a reduced number of trips into the well and without compromise to flow rate parameters of the treatments.

Abstract:
A method includes positioning at least one fluid nozzle disposed upon a distal end of a fluid conduit in a cased borehole penetrating a subterranean formation at a target zone of the subterranean formation. An abrasive laden fluid is then continuously pumped through the fluid conduit and through the at least one fluid nozzle at a pressure adequate to form at least one slot through the cased borehole. The abrasive fluid contains an aqueous medium, an abrasive, an optional acid, and a viscoelastic surfactant. While continuously pumping the abrasive fluid through the fluid conduit, the wellbore may be cleaned by returning debris and material generated in the operation to the surface with the fluid. In some instances, a portion of the forming a slot through the cased borehole is conducted simultaneous with the cleanout of the wellbore.
