The invention discloses a method comprising providing a fluid comprising a viscosifying agent in an aqueous medium; contacting the fluid with a halogenisocyanuric acid or halogenisocyanurate component; whereby the viscosity of the fluid with the halogenisocyanuric acid or halogenisocyanurate component is reduced compared to the viscosity of the fluid alone; and introducing the fluid into a well. The halogenisocyanuric acid component can be mono chloroisocyanuric acid, dichloroisocyanuric acid or trichloroisocyanuric acid. The halogenisocyanurate component can be an alkali metal monochloroisocyanurate, alkali metal dichloroisocyanurate or alkali metal trichloroisocyanurate.

The invention discloses a tool for use in a wellbore, comprising: a tubular elongated member; openings on the tubular member able to be close with a valve or a sleeve; swellable packers positioned between said opening on the tubular member; and a control unit; the control unit operating the valve or sleeve for fracturing a subterranean formation in a wellbore, in the stages: a. fracturing the subterranean formation through a first stage at predefined first locations; and b. fracturing the subterranean formation through a second stage at second location(s) wherein each location from the second location(s) is localized between the predefined first locations.
摘要:
A method for treating a subterranean formation is made of steps of providing a composition comprising a carrier fluid, a polymer viscosifying agent, carbon dioxide and a formate salt or formic acid; injecting into a wellbore, the composition; contacting the composition with the subterranean formation, wherein the temperature is above 100 degrees Celsius at this contact; and allowing the composition to treat the subterranean formation.
摘要:
The invention discloses treatment and reuse of oilfield produced water. A method of inhibiting enzymes/bacteria in an aqueous medium for viscosification comprises contacting the aqueous medium with a denaturant and/or a bactericide and thereafter mixing a gelling agent in the aqueous medium. The viscosified fluid can be used as a well treating fluid for fracturing and other applications. A well treatment fluid comprises a metal denaturant and/or a bactericide and a gelling agent in an amount effective to viscosify the fluid. Also disclosed is oilfield produced water denatured with from 1 to 2000 ppm by weight of a zirconium compound.
摘要:
The invention provides a method of stimulation a subterranean formation to improve formation fluid production, the method comprising: providing a wellbore which penetrates the subterranean formation, wherein the wellbore comprises at least two perforation cluster zones; injecting a treatment fluid into the wellbore at a fluid pressure equal to or greater than the fracture initiate pressure of the subterranean formation; contacting the subterranean formation with the treatment fluid through a first perforation cluster zone; performing a shutin by stopping injection of the treatment fluid; waiting for a determined period of time, wherein no physical material is introduced into the wellbore and no significant reverse flow from the subterranean formation to the wellbore occurs during said period of time; resuming the introduction of the treatment fluid into the wellbore at a fluid pressure equal to or greater than the fracture initiate pressure of the subterranean formation; and contacting the subterranean formation with the treatment fluid through a second perforation cluster zone.
摘要:
A well treatment fluid composition that comprises a carrier fluid and an amphoteric surfactant, and optionally a viscosifying agent and proppant, is well suited for use in fracturing coal beds to stimulate methane production. The composition preferably is a foam that comprises a gas such as nitrogen or air. Preferably, the surfactant has the formula R—NH2—(CH2)n—C(O)OX wherein R is a saturated or unsaturated alkyl group having from 6-20 carbon atoms, n is from 2-6, and X is hydrogen or a salt forming cation.
