Patent number: 9926483Abstract: Degradable balls for downhole use may include an incompliant degradable polymer and a compliant filler material, the incompliant degradable polymer having an elastic modulus of about 2 GPa or greater, and the compliant filler material having an elastic modulus of less than about 2 GPa. Such degradable balls may be useful in sealing segments of a wellbore and actuating wellbore tools.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 2016Date of Patent: March 27, 2018Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Zachary Ryan Murphree, Michael Linley Fripp, Zachary William Walton, Feng Liang, Dwight Fulton

Publication number: 20180052903Abstract: System and methods for transforming well production data for predictive modeling are provided. Aggregated production data for one or more wells in a hydrocarbon producing field is pre-processed in order to generate clusters of the production data, based on a set of uncontrollable production variables identified for the wells. The pre-processed production data within each of the clusters is standardized based on clustering parameters calculated for each cluster. The standardized production data within each of the clusters is then used to generate transactional data for use in a predictive model for estimating future production from the one or more wells.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 15, 2015Publication date: February 22, 2018Inventors: Ivette A. Mercado, Dwight Fulton

Publication number: 20140262231Abstract: The present disclosure relates the methods of treating a subterranean formation. In various embodiments, an acidic treatment fluid can be injected through tubing while a non-acidic fluid is pumped through an annulus. In various embodiments, acidic treatment fluid can be pumped through coiled tubing while at least one of acidic treatment fluid and non-acidic fluid are pumped through a second tube surrounding the coiled tubing and an annulus disposed the second tube and a borehole. Various embodiments also include methods for stimulating a well and acidization of the subterranean formation.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2013Publication date: September 18, 2014Applicant: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: MD Monsur Alam, Dwight Fulton, Yogesh Kumar Choudhary
