Abstract: A method of stimulating a hydrocarbon-bearing formation may include generating a foamed fracturing fluid with foam quality of at least 20% and introducing the foamed fracturing fluid into the formation under a pressure greater than the fracturing pressure of the formation. The foamed fracturing fluid may comprise a zwitterionic surfactant, a nanoparticle, and a gas phase. The surfactant may have a structure that includes a quaternary ammonium cation and a carboxylate group. Another method of stimulating a hydrocarbon-bearing formation may include introducing a foaming composition into the hydrocarbon-bearing formation under a pressure greater than the fracturing pressure of the formation and generating a foam with a quality of at least 20% by injecting a gas phase inside the formation. The foaming composition may include a surfactant, a nanoparticle, and a gas phase. The surfactant may have a quaternary ammonium cation and a carboxylate group in the structure.

Abstract: A composition includes a nonionic fluorinated polymeric surfactant, a nonfluorinated surfactant, and a scale treatment. Additionally, a method for scale treatment is provided. The method includes injecting gas into the aforementioned composition to produce a foam and injecting the foam into a formation. In the formation, the foam may be exposed to a first temperature at which it has a first viscosity. The foam may be maintained inside the formation for a period of time, and then recovered from the formation, at which point it is exposed to a second temperature and has a second viscosity.

Abstract: A composition useful for subterranean water or gas shut off applications includes organosilane-modified colloidal silica and an accelerator. The accelerator includes one or more organic or inorganic salts. A method of using a composition, including an organosilane-modified colloidal silica and an accelerator, includes forming a fluid system that is flowed to a formation in a subterranean zone, such as through a wellbore, where the composition forms a gel to plug the formation and shut off water flow into the wellbore.

Abstract: Systems and methods for forming a permanent plug in a subterranean formation include providing a solution of colloidal silica and pumping the colloidal silica into a bore of a subterranean well so that the colloidal silica penetrates pores of the subterranean formation. The colloidal silica within the pores of the subterranean formation is dehydrated to form a glass-like material within the pores of the subterranean formation.

Abstract: A chemical packer composition having a polyurethane foam with nanoparticles or micron-sized particles for use as an annular chemical packer in openhole horizontal wells is provided. The chemical packer composition may be used in a horizontal well having a screen (for example, a gravel pack screen) and completed using an openhole completion. The chemical packer composition may include, for example, silica nanoparticles or sand micron-sized particles. The chemical packer composition may be placed in an annulus section defined by the wellbore and the screen that traverses one or more fluid producing zones. In some instances, a portion of the chemical packer composition may be selectively removed to open a fluid producing zone to the wellbore and form plugs blocking other fluid producing zones.
