Abstract:
A method for treating a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore, comprising: providing a treatment slurry comprising a carrying fluid, a solid particulate and an anchorant; injecting the treatment slurry into a fracture to form a substantially uniformly distributed mixture of the solid particulate and the anchorant; and transforming the substantially uniform mixture into areas that are rich in solid particulate and areas that are substantially free of solid particulate, wherein the solid particulate and the anchorant have substantially dissimilar velocities in the fracture and wherein said transforming results from said substantially dissimilar velocities is provided.
Abstract:
Proppant cluster placement in fractures with foamed carrying fluid. A formation treatment method includes injecting a treatment fluid stage, having a particulate-containing substage containing a self-agglomerating solid composition and a foamed carrying fluid, above a fracturing pressure, and alternating pulses of a pumping parameter to transform the self-agglomerating composition into a channelized solids pack, and closing the fracture. Also disclosed are methods of modeling a fracture treatment interval for such a method, and methods of treatment and systems to treat with such a treatment fluid stage, wherein solid particulate-rich substages are larger than the solid particulate-lean substages to form particulate-rich island regions, an interconnected network of open channel regions between the island regions and the island regions are channelized to form particulate clusters within the island regions separated from adjacent particulate clusters by open voids in the island regions.
Abstract:
A method for treating a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore, comprising: providing a treatment slurry comprising a carrying fluid, a solid particulate and an agglomerant; injecting the treatment slurry into a fracture to form a substantially uniformly distributed mixture of the solid particulate and the agglomerant; and transforming the substantially uniform mixture into areas that are rich in solid particulate and areas that are substantially free of solid particulate, wherein the solid particulate and the agglomerant have substantially dissimilar velocities in the fracture and wherein said transforming results from said substantially dissimilar velocities is provided.

Abstract:
Compound cluster placement in fractures. A fracture treatment method includes forming propped regions having a larger coverage area than channels between the propped regions, and channelizing the propped regions in situ. Also disclosed are systems to treat a fracture interval and to produce reservoir fluids from a formation.
Abstract:
A technique that is usable with a well includes deploying a cable-conveyed object in a passageway of a string in the well; using the object to sense a property of an environment of the string and communicating an indication of the sensed property to an Earth surface of the well; remotely controlling an operation of the object to change a state of a first downhole valve assembly based at least in part on the communication; and using the object to control a state of the other downhole valve assembly(ies) during deployment of the object in the well.
