  • Publication number: 20180305609
    Abstract: Compositions, methods, and systems including an encapsulated additive comprising a treatment fluid additive at least partially encapsulated by an encapsulating material. The encapsulated additive has a target release profile for release of the treatment fluid additive from the encapsulating material in a specific wellbore environment. The encapsulating material is selected to achieve the target release profile, the target release profile being based on one or more conditions selected from the group consisting of: (1) a target anisotropic pressure that is greater than both an injection anisotropic pressure and an injection isotropic pressure, (2) an erosion number, (3) a temperature-driven degradation, (4) a pressure-driven degradation, (5) an amphiphilic water dispersibility, (6) an amphiphilic oil dispersibility, (7) a chemical flood degradation, (8) a water ingress value, and, (9) a radiation-driven degradation.

  • Publication number: 20170259977
    Abstract: Payload container and system for delivering a payload to a wellbore, the payload container includes a blister container having a cavity formed therein and an edge about the perimeter of the cavity, one or more payload substances contained within the cavity, a lidding material to cover the cavity, and optionally, an adhesive to bond the lidding material to the edge of the cavity, so that the one or more payload substances can be released in response to an external stimulus. The wellbore payload delivery system includes a plurality of payload containers and a pump system for injecting the one or more payload containers into a wellbore, the pump system has a pump and a length of tubing coupled with the pump and extending to a zone of a subterranean formation adjacent to the wellbore.
