  • RESERVOIR ACTIVATED EMULSION BREAKING FOR LOST CIRCULATION
    Publication number: 20150060146
    Abstract: An oil-in-water emulsion is provided to place a sealant within a subterranean formation by being deployed into the formation to reacte with the formation's included water to break the emulsion, leaving the emulsified components, some of which act as the sealant to form at least a partial seal. The emulsion does not form a seal until emulsified in response to formation water conditions (salinity, pH, calcium ion concentration, temperature), and can be a drilling fluid or a pill during drilling activities.

  • Wellbore manufacturing processes for in situ heat treatment processes
    Patent number: 8327681
    Abstract: A method includes making coiled tubing at a coiled tubing manufacturing unit coupled to a coiled tubing transportation system. One or more coiled tubing reels are transported from the coiled tubing manufacturing unit to one or more moveable well drilling systems using the coiled tubing transportation system. The coiled tubing transportation system runs from the tubing manufacturing unit to one or more movable well drilling systems, and then back to the coiled tubing manufacturing unit.
