Publication number: 20090156433Abstract: According to the invention, a fully viscosified acid diversion system for hydrofluoric acid has been developed. The viscosifying agent comprises a xanthan polymer or a derivative thereof. A method of acidizing a portion of a subterranean formation is provided, the method comprising the steps of: (A) forming a viscosified treatment fluid comprising: (i) water; (ii) hydrogen fluoride or a controlled-release source of hydrogen fluoride; and (iii) a gelling agent comprising a xanthan polymer or derivative thereof; and (B) introducing the viscosified treatment fluid into the portion of the subterranean formation. A breaking agent can be used to achieve a controlled gel break time under downhole conditions. Other additives can also be included in the treatment fluid.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 12, 2007Publication date: June 18, 2009Inventors: Amare Mebratu, Olav Martin Selle

Patent number: 7244693Abstract: A method for the treatment of a hydrocarbon well comprising administering down the well polymeric particles impregnated with a well treatment chemical or precursor or generator thereof. The particles have a pore volume of at least 20%, and are prepared by a process which comprises preparing an aqueous dispersion of polymer particles containing from 0.05 to 10 times by volume, based on the polymer, of one or more specific first material(s) adding a partly water-soluble second material having a water-solubility of at least ten times that of first material(s) under conditions which prevent or hinder transport of first material(s) through the aqueous phase, whereby second material diffuses into the polymer particles swelled with first material(s) and increases the volume of said particles by from 20 to 1000 times, based on the polymer.Type: GrantFiled: November 19, 2001Date of Patent: July 17, 2007Assignee: Statoil ASAInventors: Hans Kristian Kotlar, Olav Martin Selle, Oddvar Arnfinn Aune, Lars Kilaas, Anne Dalager Dyrli

Publication number: 20040074646Abstract: Gelatin capsules containing oil field chemicals, preferably weighted with a heavy metal compound, are made more stable under certain conditions by the incorporation of a strong chelating agent. The microcapsules can provide an extended treatment period since many materials that would damage the microcapsules are controlled by the chelating agent.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 27, 2003Publication date: April 22, 2004Inventors: Hans Kristian Kotlar, Olav Martin Selle, Oddvar Arnfinn Aune, Lars Kilaas, Anne Dalager Dyrli
