  • Method of using sodium silicate in treatment of subterranean formation for water control
    Patent number: 8316940
    Abstract: Compositions and methods of reducing a flow of aqueous liquids through a subterranean formation are provided. The compositions and methods are used for water control. The compositions include a water control additive that is prepared by reacting a soluble sodium silicate and a hydrolysable organosilane compound to produce silanol that reacts and forms a bond with the formation thereby producing a binding polysiloxane.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 19, 2009
    Date of Patent: November 27, 2012
    Assignee: Baker Hughes Incorporated
    Inventors: Xiaolan Wang, Leonard Kalfayan, Jennifer Cutler

  • Fluid flow model and method of using the same
    Patent number: 7603896
    Abstract: A fluid flow model is comprised of one cross-flow style core holder and a multitude of standard style core holders, all connected by a concurrent combination of serial and parallel flow paths. The sum of these flow paths yields a fluid flow model that closely approximates a small radial slice of a conventional reservoir. The fluid flow model has particular applicability to estimate the requisite treatment fluid for use in acidizing as well as water control methods.
