  • Patent number: 11198811
    Abstract: Methods of treating a subterranean formation are described. The methods include introducing a treatment fluid that includes a friction reducing polymer (e.g., a cationic friction reducing polymer) into the subterranean formation. The cationic friction reducing polymer is allowed to degrade and release choline chloride or polyDADMAC, which can each act as a clay stabilizer.

  • Patent number: 11041114
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and compositions for creating microfractures within subterranean formations and delivering microproppant particles into microfractures within subterranean formations are provided. In some embodiments, the methods include: providing a treatment fluid that comprises an aqueous base fluid, a surfactant, and a plurality of microproppant particles having a mean particle diameter of about 100 microns or less; introducing the treatment fluid into a subterranean formation at or above a pressure sufficient to initiate the formation of at least one microfracture within the subterranean formation; and allowing at least a portion of the microproppant particles to enter the at least one microfracture within the subterranean formation.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20210155846
    Abstract: Methods of treating a subterranean formation are described. The methods include introducing a treatment fluid that includes a friction reducing polymer (e.g., a cationic friction reducing polymer or an anionic friction reducing polymer) into the subterranean formation. The cationic friction reducing polymer is allowed to degrade and release choline chloride or polyDADMAC, which can each act as a clay stabilizer. The anionic friction reducing polymer is allowed to degrade and release AMPS, which can act as a surfactant, a scale inhibitor, a paraffin inhibitor, or an asphaltene inhibitor, or polyacrylic acid, which can act as a scale inhibitor.

  • Patent number: 10961445
    Abstract: A method may comprise introducing a first traceable solid particulate into a first formation zone of one or more subterranean formations, wherein the first traceable solid particulate may comprise a first soluble tracer coated onto a first solid particulate. The method may also comprise introducing a second traceable solid particulate into a second formation zone of the one or more subterranean formations, wherein the second traceable solid particulate may comprise a second soluble tracer coated onto a second solid particulate, wherein the second tracer and the first tracer may have a different chemical identity. The method may further comprise recovering produced fluid from the one or more subterranean formations and monitoring concentrations of at least the first soluble tracer and the second soluble tracer in the produced fluid.
