  • Publication number: 20140144634
    Abstract: Methods of treating a wellbore in a subterranean formation having a top portion and a bottom portion, and a middle portion therebetween. The method includes providing a jetting fluid; providing a cement slurry; and providing a breakable gel fluid. Then introducing the jetting fluid into the bottom portion of the wellbore to create or enhance a bottom portion fracture; introducing the jetting fluid into the top portion of the wellbore to create or enhance a top portion fracture; introducing the cement slurry into the top portion fracture; introducing the cement slurry into the bottom portion fracture; and introducing the breakable gel fluid into the wellbore so as to prevent the expandable cementitious material from migrating out of the top portion fracture and bottom portion fracture. The expandable cementitious material is cured so as to form a cement pack, the breakable gel fluid is broken and removed from the subterranean formation.

  • Publication number: 20140144633
    Abstract: Methods of treating a subterranean formation including providing a wellbore in a subterranean formation having at least one fracture; providing an expandable cementitious material; introducing the expandable cementitious material into the at least one fracture in the subterranean formation; curing the expandable cementitious material so as to form a cement pack, wherein the curing of the expandable cementitious material expands the expandable cementitious material such that at least one microfracture is created within the at least one fracture in the subterranean formation; and acid-fracturing the at least one fracture in the subterranean formation.

  • Publication number: 20140144635
    Abstract: Methods of treating a subterranean formation having at least one fracture including providing a cement slurry comprising an expandable cementitious material and a breakable foamed carrier fluid, wherein the expandable cementitious material is capable of consolidating to form a plurality of expandable cementitious material aggregates and wherein the breakable foamed carrier fluid is capable of coating and isolating the expandable cementitious material aggregates; introducing the cement slurry into the fracture; curing the expandable cementitious material aggregates so as to form a cement pillar within the fracture in the subterranean formation, wherein the curing of the expandable cementitious material aggregates expands the expandable cementitious material aggregates such that at least one microfracture is created within the fracture; breaking the breakable foamed carrier fluid; removing the broken breakable foamed carrier fluid from the subterranean formation; and acid-fracturing the at least one fracture in
