摘要: Lost circulation materials may include pluralities of ceramic spheres having a size distribution in a range of from about 5 mm to about 25 mm and such that the lost circulation materials are porous and permeable. Methods of eliminating or reducing lost circulation from a well having a loss zone may include introducing the porous and permeable lost circulation materials into the well such that a porous and permeable flow barrier is created in the loss zone, wherein the porous and permeable flow barrier may prevent whole mud loss while drilling and allows hydrocarbon production after completion of the well. Carrier fluids may include water, viscosifiers, fluid loss additives, weighting agents, lost circulation materials containing pluralities of ceramic spheres having a size distribution in a range of from about 5 mm to about 25 mm.

摘要: A thermoplastic elastomer for profile control and water shutoff is prepared from the following raw materials in parts by weight: 8-10 parts of a component A, 1-3 parts of a strong acid, 1-3 parts of a hydrophobic modifier and 100-105 parts of water. The component A is one of polyethylene glycol, polyvinylether, polyvinyl alcohol, copolymer of acrylamide and acrylonitrile. The strong acid is one of concentrated hydrochloric acid and concentrated sulfuric acid. The hydrophobic modifier is any one of formaldehyde, acetaldehyde, propionaldehyde, butyraldehyde, β-propiolactone, γ-butyrolactone, δ-valerolactone, methyltriacetylsilane, methyltrimethylsilane, butyl acrylate and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate.

摘要: Methods for separating fluids with a barrier pill within a downhole environment are provided. The method includes introducing a barrier pill fluid into the wellbore containing a first fluid to form the barrier pill on top of the first fluid in the wellbore and introducing a second fluid into the wellbore. The barrier pill separates the first fluid and the second fluid. The barrier pill includes a viscoelastic surfactant and an aqueous fluid, such as a brine containing water and about 5 wt % to about 50 wt % of a salt.

摘要: A well treatment composition for use in a hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir comprising a reversible aminal gel composition. The reversible aminal gel composition includes a liquid precursor composition. The liquid precursor composition is operable to remain in a liquid state at about room temperature. The liquid precursor composition comprises an organic amine composition; an aldehyde composition; and a polar aprotic organic solvent. The liquid precursor composition transitions from the liquid state to a gel state responsive to an increase in temperature in the hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir. The gel state is stable in the hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir at a temperature similar to a temperature of the hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir, and the gel state is operable to return to the liquid state responsive to a change in the hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir selected from the group consisting of: a decrease in pH in the hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir and an addition of excess metal salt composition in the hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir.

摘要: A nanocomposite including a metal oxide and two-dimensional nanosheets. The metal oxid includes at least one of zirconia and titania, and the two-dimensional nanosheets include at least one of reduced graphene oxide and boron nitride. A weight ratio of the metal oxide to the two-dimensional nanosheets is in a range of 2:1 to 19:1, or in a range or 2:1 to 9:1. Making the nanocomposite includes forming a first aqueous dispersion including zirconia nanoparticles and graphene oxide powder, combining a reducing agent with the first aqueous dispersion, irradiating the first aqueous dispersion with microwave radiation, thereby yielding a second aqueous dispersion including zirconia and graphene, and separating the nanocomposite from the second aqueous dispersion, wherein the nanocomposite comprises zirconia and graphene.
