摘要:
Various embodiments disclosed relate to compositions for treating subterranean formations including an aluminum trihalide hexahydrate and methods of using the same. In various embodiments, the present invention provides a method of treating a subterranean formation including obtaining or providing a composition that includes an aluminum trihalide hexahydrate. The method also includes placing the composition in a subterranean formation.
摘要:
High density brine compositions may be formulated including water and at least one rare earth nitrate salt, where the at least one rare earth salt is present in an amount effective for the high density brine composition to have a density in the range of about 8.5 to about 21 pounds per gallon (about 1020 to about 2500 kg/m3). Suitable rare earth nitrate salts include, but are not necessarily limited to, lanthanum nitrate (La(NO3)3), cerium nitrate (Ce(NO3)3), scandium nitrate, and/or yttrium nitrate. Alkaline earth metal salts such as, but not limited to, calcium bromide (CaBr2), and alkali metal salts and metal salts may also be used with the rare earth nitrate salt(s). In one non-limiting embodiment the high density brines have an absence of zinc and cesium salts. These high density brine compositions may be suitably used for completion fluids in hydrocarbon recovery operations.

Various embodiments disclosed relate to treatment fluids comprising a compound of the formula (I): wherein G1, G2, L1, L2, L3, q, and r are defined herein. Various other embodiments relates to methods of treating subterranean formations with such treatment fluids.
摘要:
The invention provides a process for making compounds according to Formula I: where R1, R1a, R2, R2a, R3 and R3a are defined as set forth in the specification. Formula I compounds are useful as chelants and stabilizers of cations in aqueous media and the invention therefore provides a method for using the compounds in the treatment of subterranean formations, such as in acidizing operations.
摘要:
Nanoemulsion, macroemulsions, miniemulsions, microemulsion systems with excess oil or water or both (Winsor I, II or III phase behavior) or single phase microemulsions (Winsor IV) improve the removal of filter cakes formed during hydrocarbon reservoir wellbore drilling with OBM. Such filter cakes and their particles can contact, impact and affect the movement of the drill string undesirably resulting in a “stuck pipe” condition. The macroemulsion, nanoemulsion, miniemulsion, microemulsion systems with excess oil or water or both or single phase microemulsion removes oil and solids from the filter cake, thereby releasing the drill string from its stuck condition. In one non-limiting embodiment, the emulsion system may be formed in situ (downhole) rather than produced or prepared in advance and pumped downhole.

摘要:
A new composition for a spotting fluid and a method of using such spotting fluid for freeing differential stuck pipe in a subterranean well drilling operation is disclosed. The composition comprises an invert water-in-oil emulsion comprising iso-butyl oleate as its external phase and glycerin as the internal phase. In an altemative embodiment, calcium chloride and water may be substituted for glycerin.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a well fluid for releasing tubular elements stuck in the well. The fluid comprises a part A consisting of one or more esters obtained by reaction of a linear or branched monocarboxylic acid (A.1) having between 8 and 24 carbon atoms and a linear or branched polyol (A.2) having between 2 and 20 carbon atoms, a part B consisting of one or more linear or branched monocarboxylic acids having between 8 and 24 carbon atoms, where the carboxylic acid (A.1 and part B) is a mixture of at least 80% carboxylic acids having between 1 and 3 insaturations, and a part C consisting of a different ester or olefins, the quantity of part C is determined in relation to the other components in such a way that the viscosity of the fluid is lower than 40 mPa·s at 40° C. The invention also relates to a method for releasing drillpipes stuck in a well.

摘要:
The invention provides a method and fluid for drilling or servicing a well in a subterranean formation, particularly containing lost circulation zones or depleted, low pressure reservoirs. A method of decreasing the density of the fluid circulated in a borehole, decreasing the invasion of fluid into formations contacted by the fluid, or decreasing the lost circulation potential of the fluid is provided by using as the fluid an aqueous liquid having dispersed therein a polymer which increases the low shear rate viscosity of the fluid to the extent that the shear thinning index of the fluid is at least about 10, a surfactant, and aphrons, wherein the aphrons are preferably generated by the turbulence and pressure drop as the fluid exits the drill bit in the vicinity of the formation, the fluid having a low shear rate viscosity of at least 40,000 centipoise. The fluid additionally contains an oligosaccharide mixture composed of pentosans and/or hexosans containing from one to about 10 combined sugar units selected from the group consisting of arabinose, mannose, galactose, glucose, xylose, cellobiose, and mixtures thereof Preferably the oligosaccharide mixture is the water soluble portion of thermally hydrolyzed lignocellulose.
