  • Dry blend pre-flush and spacer package and method for mixing and injecting a pre-flush and spacer on-the-fly to clean a subterranean well
    Patent number: 11078399
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a dry blend one-part pre-flush and spacer package for forming a water-based pre-flush and spacer on-the-fly for use in a subterranean well and a method of mixing a pre-flush and spacer on-the-fly for use in a subterranean well. The dry blend pre-flush and spacer package includes an anionic surfactant, a builder compound, and optionally, a defoamer, a dispersant calcium chelator, a density modifying agent, a viscosifying agent such as a solid, and preferably rapidly hydrating, gellant, salt and one or more lost-circulation materials. The dry blend pre-flush and spacer package is mixed on-the-fly with water at the subterranean well site to form the pre-flush and spacer at a pre-selected density and the pre-flush and spacer, when pumped into the subterranean well by a pressure pumper, converts the well from an oil-wet or substantially non-water-wet condition to a substantially water-wet condition.

  • Metal organic framework, production and use thereof
    Patent number: 9782745
    Abstract: Metal-organic framework (MOF) materials particularly useful for adsorbing CO2. More specifically the MOF has pores and comprises zinc ions, oxalate, and a cycloazocarbyl compound. A preferred cycloazocarbyl compound is 1,2,4-triazolate. Methods for making the porous MOH and methods for using the porous MOH for adsorbing CO2.
