  • Temporary blockage of fluid boundary between higher and lower fluid conductivity formations
    Patent number: 11739248
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are compositions, processes, and systems for deploying and creating a temporary fluid barrier at an interface between a high fluid conductivity zone and a lower fluid conductivity zone. The disclosed compositions include mixtures of solvents and biodegradable non-spherical particles, wherein the particles include a coating that may slow or inhibit degradation, for example by hydrolysis, of the particle. The disclosed particles are designed to possess sufficient flexibility to traverse the high conductivity zone.

  • Controlling wellbore pathways by manipulating the surface area to mass ratio of the diverting material
    Patent number: 11555391
    Abstract: A mixture of at least two shapes of a dissolvable diverter material. The shapes range from a flake having a high surface area to mass ratio to beads having a low surface area to mass ratio. The density of the various shapes may be manipulated by including voids or low-density materials within the shape. The density manipulation allows matching the transport properties of the at least two shapes to the transport fluid so that both shapes may arrive at the desired location at the desired time.
