Abstract:
It is proposed a new family of terpolymers based on repeating units of two different types of hydrophobic moieties modified with anionic charged groups. In a preferred embodiment, the first hydrophobic moiety is an aromatic compound such as styrene and the second hydrophobic moiety is a fatty acid. Depending on the modification rate, and on the neutralization degree, the aqueous solutions of the terpolymers have different rheological behavior, ranging from yield point fluid, shear-thickening and polysoaps .
Abstract:
The present invention provides a versatile additive for improving the properties of a cement slurry made with portland cement and to be utilized in well cementing, said versatile additive comprising type of silicates and/or borates that inhibit gelation occurring with the interstitial phase. The additive of the present invention improves significantly the rheology (i.e., strong dispersing effect) and can even overcome severe gelation problems. At temperature above about 88°C (190°F) the additive acts as retarder aid, enabling to reduce considerably the concentration of retarder required to achieve a given thickening time.

Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for controlling loss circulation and simultaneously strengthening a weakened formation when drilling for oil. This invention relates to the permeable subterranean formation and natural and induced fractured formations that encounter severe losses and their treatment with a composition composed of long rigid organic fibre with different type of fibres selected from a category of organic or inorganic fibres along with different particle sizes that orientation of fibres and packing of the solids shows a good blockage effect to resist the loss and later the final set material develop required compressive strength to cure those losses and strengthening the structure.

Abstract:
A cement composition, comprises a mixture of a blend of materials including cement and/or micro cement, calcium carbonate, organic fibres, and inorganic fibres; and water; wherein the composition forms a cement that is at least partially soluble in acid and/or water. A method of treating a well, comprises pumping the composition into the well, allowing the cement to set, and treating the set cement so that it is partially to completely dissolved. In case of partial dissolution the residue in time is degradable. The inorganic fiber can be used in the traditional cementing in all stages of the well construction to defeat partial losses and improve the set properties of the final set cement.
