  • Composition and method for treating subterranean formation
    Patent number: 9359544
    Abstract: A composition and method for performing a treatment of a subterranean formation. The composition includes an emulsified acid and a sulfobetaine surfactant. The emulsified acid and the sulfobetaine surfactant may be mixed to form a treatment composition, which may be injected into a subterranean formation as part of an acid fracturing or hydraulic fracturing treatment.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 11, 2013
    Date of Patent: June 7, 2016
    Assignee: Schlumberger Technology Corporation
    Inventors: Arthur William Milne, Emilio Miquilena, Syed A. Ali

  • GELLED FOAM COMPOSITIONS AND METHODS
    Publication number: 20110315384
    Abstract: The invention provides a method made of steps of injecting into a wellbore, a composition comprising a solvent, a surfactant, a foaming gas, a foam enhancer, a crosslinkable polymer, and a crosslinking agent capable of crosslinking the polymer, wherein the foam enhancer increases the foam half-life of the gel composition compared to the gel composition without the foam enhancer; and allowing viscosity of the composition to increase and form a gel.

  • VISCOSIFICATION AND FOAMING OF POLYACRYLAMIDES
    Publication number: 20110265997
    Abstract: Embodiments of the invention relate to a method for treating a subterranean formation, comprising forming a fluid comprising polyacrylamide and a biopolymer and introducing the fluid to a subterranean formation wherein the polyacrylamide and biopolymer are selected to form the fluid with a longer foam half life and a higher viscosity than if only one polymer were selected. Embodiments of the invention relate to a method for treating a subterranean formation, comprising forming a fluid comprising polyacrylamide and a biopolymer and introducing the fluid to a subterranean formation wherein the polyacrylamide does not alter biopolymer crosslinking.
