Abstract:
Cement compositions and methods of their use in subterranean applications are described, specifically the use of a self-degrading cement composition for use in fluid loss applications; a method includes placing a self- degrading cement composition in at least one fracture of a subterranean formation, the self-degrading cement including a cement composition including an acid-base cement, a particulate filler, and a solid acid precursor, the method including allowing the self-degrading cement to set in the fracture.
Abstract:
An apparatus for building, transporting, storing, and deploying viscous fluids, comprising: a cylinder comprising a full bore opening and a discharge outlet; a plunger assembly mounted within the cylinder; and a shredder screen mounted within the discharge outlet.
Abstract:
A method of servicing a wellbore within a subterranean formation comprising providing a drill string disposed within the wellbore having one or more tubulars associated therewith and forming one or more annuli around the drill string; placing an insulating packer fluid comprising an aqueous base fluid and a viscosifying agent into at least one of the one or more annuli surrounding the drill string; and performing a drill stem test while the insulating packer fluid is in place. A method of servicing a wellbore within a subterranean formation comprising placing an insulating packer fluid in an annular space between a tubular and a marine riser extending from a surface vessel or platform and a subsea wellhead, wherein the insulating packer fluid comprising an aqueous base fluid and a viscosifying agent and has a thermal conductivity of from about 0.008 BTU/(hr•ft•F) to about 0.245 BTU/(hr•ft•F).
