Abstract: Viscous degradable fluids for use in fluid loss control, diversion, gravel packing, fracturing, and acidizing operations, method of preparing the viscous degradable fluids, and methods of using the viscous degradable fluids in subterranean operations. At least one aliphatic polyester is dissolved in a solvent comprising triacetin to form a viscous degradable fluid. The viscous degradable fluid can be injected directly into a subterranean formation or mixed with other fluids and/or additives before being injected into the subterranean formation, where it can temporarily block or restrict flow through openings in the formation.

Abstract: Treatment fluids for use in fluid loss control, diversion, and plugging operations and methods of use are disclosed. The treatment fluids contain a degradable particular langbeinite material that temporarily creates a physical barrier to fluid flow before degrading over time with little to no effect on the environment. This degradable additive can be combined with other traditional downhole additives such as surfactants, viscosifying agents, biocides and the like, allowing for a wide variety of applications in hydrocarbon reservoirs.

Abstract: Degradable material for treatment fluids for use in fluid loss control, diversion, and plugging operations, methods of preparing the degradable material, and methods of using the degradable material in treatment fluids are disclosed. The degradable materials are polymer-based solid acid precursor particles that have been partially or fully coated with an anti-caking agent to prevent agglomeration of the polymer-based solid acid precursor particles during storage and transport. These coated polymer-based solid acid precursor particles can then be added to a variety of treatment fluids to temporarily create a physical barrier to fluid flow before degrading and generating acids that can be used in other treatment operations. This degradable coated polymer-based solid acid precursor additive can be combined with other traditional downhole additives such surfactants, viscosifiers, and biocides, allowing for a wide variety of applications in hydrocarbon reservoirs.

Abstract: A method of increasing the fracture complexity in a treatment zone of a subterranean formation is provided. The subterranean formation is characterized by having a matrix permeability less than 1.0 microDarcy. The method includes the step of pumping one or more fracturing fluids into a far-field region of a treatment zone of the subterranean formation at a rate and pressure above the fracture pressure of the treatment zone. A first fracturing fluid of the one or more fracturing fluids includes a first solid particulate, wherein: (a) the first solid particulate includes a particle size distribution for bridging the pore throats of a proppant pack previously formed or to be formed in the treatment zone; and (b) the first solid particulate comprises a degradable material. In an embodiment, the first solid particulate is in an insufficient amount in the first fracturing fluid to increase the packed volume fraction of any region of the proppant pack to greater than 73%.
