Appl. No.:

12/395406

Inventors:

Shauna L. Hayden - Houston TX, US
Kimberly A. Pierce - Houston TX, US

Assignee:

TEXAS UNITED CHEMICAL COMPANY, LLC - Houston TX

International Classification:

C09K 8/68

US Classification:

507212, 507211, 507214, 507213, 507217, 507216, 507215

Abstract:

Treating fluid compositions for use in hydrocarbon recovery operations from subterranean formations are described, as well as methods for their preparation and use. In particular, treating fluid compositions are described which comprise a liquid, a crosslinkable organic polymer material that is at least partially soluble in the liquid, a crosslinking agent that is capable of increasing the viscosity of the treating fluid by crosslinking the organic polymer material in the liquid, and a crosslinking modifier additive which can delay or accelerate the crosslinking of the treating fluid composition. Such compositions may be used in a variety of hydrocarbon recovery operations including fracturing operations, drilling operations, gravel packing operations, water control operations, and the like.

Abstract:

Disclosed are aqueous-based compositions and methods for treating a subterranean formation for inhibiting formation damage after the treatment. Compositions include an aqueous-based fluid, gelling agents, sparingly-soluble crosslinking agents, and one or more formation damage prevention agents, such as scale inhibitors, iron control agents, non-emulsifiers, clay stabilizers, or polymer breakers. The methods include performing a well treating operation, such as a hydraulic fracturing operation, using the compositions described and inhibiting formation damage, such as scale, iron formation, emulsions, or clay swelling within the subterranean formation. The inclusion of the formation damage preventing agents allows for long-term formation damage inhibition after the treatment.

International Classification:

C09K 8/68
E21B 43/26
E21B 43/267
C09K 8/90

Abstract:

Disclosed are treating fluid compositions for use in subterranean workover and hydrocarbon recovery operations, as well as methods of treating subterranean formations penetrated by a wellbore utilizing the treating fluid. The treating fluid compositions contain a first, aqueous liquid, and a crosslinkable organic polymer that is at least partly soluble in the liquid. The treating fluid further contains a borate crosslinking agent solution containing a primary, un-refined borate and a secondary, refined borate, the borate solution being present as a crosslinking agent upon addition to the first fluid admixture so as to crosslink the organic polymer and increase the viscosity and/or accelerate the crosslink time of the treating fluid.
