Appl. No.:

17/510721

Inventors:

Dorianne A. Castillo - Humble TX, US
Autumn Shepherd - Katy TX, US
Ajay Kumar Venkata Addagalla - Guntur, IN

Assignee:

Baker Hughes Oilfield Operations LLC - Houston TX

International Classification:

C09K 8/528
C09K 8/54
E21B 37/00
E21B 33/12

Abstract:

A method includes disposing a device into a borehole in proximity to a subterranean formation where a filter cake has been formed adjacent thereto, the device comprising a support structure and a shape-memory article disposed at the support structure, the shape-memory article comprising a shape-memory polymer, wherein the device is disposed when the shape-memory article is in a compacted shape; exposing the shape-memory article to a fluid system to cause the shape-memory article to expand and conform to a surface of the borehole; exposing the filter cake to the fluid system; and removing the filter cake with the fluid system. The fluid system comprises (i) an acid component, a chelating agent, or a combination thereof; (ii) an activator, (iii) a viscosifier, (iv) water or a brine, and (v) optionally a surfactant.

International Classification:

C09K 8/74
E21B 43/04
E21B 33/138
E21B 43/26

Abstract:

The flow of a fluid may be diverted from a high permeability zone to a low permeability portion of a subterranean formation by use of particulates comprising dicarboxylic acid, ester or an anhydride of the formula:or an anhydride thereof, wherein Ris —COO—(RO)—Ror —H; Rand Rare selected from the group consisting of —H and —COO—(RO)—R, provided both Rand nRare —COO—(RO)—Rwhen Ris —H and further provided only one of Ror Ris —COO—(RO)—Rwhen Ris —COO—(RO)—R, Ris —H or a C-Calkyl group, Ris a C-Calkylene group, and each y is 0 to 5. The dicarboxylic acid, ester or anhydride may further be admixed with an aliphatic polyester having the general formula of repeating units:where n is an integer between 75 and 10,000 and R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, alkylaryl, acetyl, heteroatoms, and mixtures thereof;

International Classification:

C09K 8/70
E21B 43/26
E21B 43/267
C09K 8/68
C09K 8/88

Abstract:

Various methods for redirecting a well treatment fluid to targeted zones of a subterranean formation within a reservoir and diverting the fluid away from high permeability or undamaged zones of the formation by temporarily blocking the high permeability zones are provided. A well treatment fluid can be diverted from a high permeability or undamaged zone of a formation within a reservoir having a high bottomhole temperature by introducing into the reservoir a biodegradable polymer that has excellent heat resistance.

US Classification:

166276, 166279

Abstract:

The flow of a fluid may be diverted from a high permeability zone to a low permeability portion of a subterranean formation by use of particulates comprising a mixture of (i) at least one aliphatic polyester having the general formula of repeating units:where n is an integer between 75 and 10,000 and R is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, alkylaryl, acetyl, heteroatoms, and mixtures thereof; and
