    摘要: Methods and systems for enhancing acid fracture conductivity of acid fracture treatments on subterranean formations are provided. An example method of acid fracture treatment includes initiating fracturing of a subterranean formation in which a wellbore is formed to create a formation fracture, after initiating the fracturing for a period of time, injecting an acidic fluid into the wellbore to etch walls of the formation fracture to thereby create fracture conductivity, introducing a gas into the wellbore to foam fluids in the wellbore, and increasing a foam quality of the fluids with time during the treatment. The foam quality is based on a volume of the introduced gas and a total volume of the fluids in the wellbore.

    摘要: A hydrocarbon production apparatus that removes debris from a hydrocarbon fluid is described. The apparatus includes a first conduit, a second conduit, a valve, and at least one baffle. The first conduit includes an inlet, an outlet, and a flow path that extends between the inlet and the outlet. The flow path can receive a flow of a hydrocarbon fluid, which includes debris, from the inlet and direct the hydrocarbon fluid from the inlet to the outlet. The second conduit includes a debris receptacle. The valve is fluidly coupled to the second conduit and can isolate the debris receptacle from the flow path of the first conduit and at least a portion of the second conduit. The at least one baffle is oriented to direct at least a portion of the debris from the flow path of the first conduit to the second conduit.

    摘要: A first chamber is configured to be positioned within a wellbore. The first chamber includes a cooling fluid. A second chamber is positioned uphole of the first chamber. The first chamber and the second chamber are configured to be lowered to a position within the wellbore. The second chamber includes a cold source at a sub-zero temperature. The cooling fluid is configured to be cooled upon contacting the cold source. A separation member is positioned between the first chamber and second chamber. The separation member separates the cooling fluid and the cold source. An activation device is connected to the separation member. The activation device is configured to cause the separation member to allow the cold source to contact the cooling fluid.
