  • Method for providing treatment chemicals in a subterranean well
    Patent number: 7419937
    Abstract: A method of delivering chemicals such as scale inhibitor into a wellbore producing fluids includes providing the chemicals, in a slow-release form, in a container located in the path of the production fluids so that the production fluids pass through the container. Preferably, the container is suspended in the production tubing and periodically retrieved from the well to be refilled.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: September 2, 2008
    Assignee: Schlumberger Technology Corporation
    Inventors: Brett Rimmer, Alan Saxon, Francisco Fragachan
  • Propped fracture with high effective surface area
    Patent number: 7303012
    Abstract: Propped fractures in formations from which fluids are produced are described that have wormholes extending out into the formations from the faces of the fractures at locations distant from boreholes. Methods are given for creating such propped fractures having wormholes in which either a closed propped fracture is formed and then the wormholes are formed, or the entire fracture and channel system is formed before the closure occurs.
    Type: Grant
