  • Publication number: 20230358124
    Abstract: Method is provided for preventing fluid from entering a well, such as a producing well, during a hydraulic fracturing treatment in another well completed in the same reservoir. Degradable ball sealers or degradable particulate material is injected into the well and pressure is maintained in the well during the fracturing treatment to prevent influx of fluid.

  • Publication number: 20220154546
    Abstract: A method for permanently sealing or bridging perforations disposed in a wellbore that was previously subjected to various completion operations and comprises a plurality of perforated sections comprising a plurality of perforations. In one embodiment, the method comprises configuring a ball injector or multiple ball injectors at the surface of the wellbore, pumping non-degradable perforation ball sealers into the perforated sections via the ball injector, wherein the non-degradable perforation ball sealers permanently seal all perforated sections in the wellbore, and monitoring pressure within the wellbore during operation to determine a successful seal of all the perforated sections.
