    摘要: Fracturing of a subterranean formation may be achieved using a hydrogel. A preferred gel is formed from a gel precursor formulation which comprises an aqueous formulation of poly(1,4-di(4-(N-methylpyridinyl))-2,3-di(4-(1-formylphenyl)butylidene), poly (vinyl alcohol) and a suitable proppant, in the presence of an acid catalyst. The gel may be prepared at the surface with a viscosity of greater than 200 cp measured at 100 s−1 and then injected into the subterranean formation under high pressure to fracture the formation.

    摘要: In the rotary drilling of oil wells a drilling mud is used both to transport the cuttings up to the surface and to impose an hydrostatic pressure on the walls of the borehole. For these functions the mud must for example have an acceptable viscosity and density. It is therefore important to monitor the characteristics of the mud, and to keep them within certain limits. Only recently, however, has drilling practice recognized the importance of monitoring the mud's ionic composition. The various techniques proposed involve separation of the mud into liquid and solid portions, and analysis of these. Though they have proven useful, yet there are a number of problems. For example, the separation has not always been easy, and the available techniques often may not satisfactorily remove the fines. The invention suggests that these two problems, at least, can be overcome by the relatively simple expedient of first acidifying the mud sample, for acidification both causes the mud particles to flocculate, and so be more easily separated off, and causes the active fines to dissolve. In a preferred embodiment hydrobromic acid is employed, together with tetramethylammonium bromide (a displacement agent enabling the mud solid's Cationic Exchange Capacity to be measured), the separation is by filtration, and the analysis is by ion chromatography--and the results are fed into a computer model that then calculates the original mud components.

    摘要: An oil well includes a wellbore (2), below ground level (4), which extends to an oil reservoir (6). The wellbore includes a casing (8) within which is arranged a progressing cavity pump (PCP) 10 which includes an inlet (12) at its lower end and is connected at its upper end to production tube (14). An annulus (16) is defined between the pump (10)/tube (14) and the casing (8). The annulus communicates with the reservoir and includes a head (20) of reservoir fluid. A water based formulation which comprises an optionally cross-linked polyvinylalcohol can be poured down the annulus (16) and pass under gravity to the reservoir (6), immediately upstream of inlet (12). The formulation may improve the performance and efficiency of the pump (10) due to its ability to increase the mobility of the oil in the reservoir immediately upstream of the pump (10) and/or enhance the ability of the oil to enter the pump inlet. Furthermore, by improving mobility and/or reducing the level of back pressure when the oil enters the pump inlet (or any other constriction) the rate of flow of oil from the reservoir into the wellbore may be increased resulting in an increased rate of oil production.
