  • Patent number: 12338390
    Abstract: Completion fluid compositions designed for fluid loss control in a subterranean formation. In particular, the compositions comprise an aqueous base fluid, a suspension polymer, a fluid loss control additive, and a degradable bridging agent. The completion fluid compositions provide a way to temporarily seal a wellbore communicating with a subterranean formation and enables completion or workover operations to be performed, after which the composition can be removed by contact with a mild clean-up composition.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 23, 2023
    Date of Patent: June 24, 2025
    Assignee: LyondellBasell Advanced Polymers Inc.

  • Publication number: 20240228859
    Abstract: Novel completion fluid compositions for fluid loss control during completion conducted on a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation are disclosed. In particular, the composition described herein has an aqueous base fluid, a suspension polymer, a fluid loss control additive, and a degradable bridging agent. These novel compositions provide a means to temporarily seal a wellbore communicating with a subterranean formation to enable completion or workover operations to be performed, after which the composition can be removed by contact with a mild clean-up composition.

  • Patent number: 12018206
    Abstract: Drill-in fluids disclosed herein comprise an aqueous base fluid, a viscosifier, a fluid loss control additive, and a degradable bridging agent comprising a degradable high strength polymetaphosphate material capable of undergoing an irreversible degradation downhole. The present disclosure further relates to a method for controlling fluid loss through a subterranean surface by using the drill-in fluid for form a filter cake on the subterranean surface. Also provided is a method of degrading a filter cake with an aqueous fluid or aqueous acidic fluid, wherein the filter cake is produced from the drill-in fluid. Further provided is a specific order of addition of constituents of the drill-in fluid, which results in improved filter cake performance and/or filter cake removal.

  • Publication number: 20230214941
    Abstract: The SOCIAL MATCH PLATFORM APPARATUSES, METHODS AND SYSTEMS (“SMP”) transforms platform join requests, social network info, and SMP network info inputs via SMP components NJ, JIP, CIP, OP, CN-SGU and CN-UPSOG into job info, candidate info, offer info, and social meetup info outputs. A job information request for a candidate may be obtained. Social data associated with the candidate may be determined. A social job relevancy rating for various jobs may be calculated using the social data. A job may be selected using the social job relevancy rating for the job, and information regarding the selected job may be provided.
