Abstract: Electrically ignitable and electrically controllable explosive material (EIECEM) may be disposed within a shaped charge for deployment downhole. An explosion of the EIECEM is controlled by limiting the duration of excitation at the EIECEM, for example, the duration that an electrical source provides an electrical charge, electrical current or electrical signal. The shaped charge may be insulated from an electrical source to prevent explosion of the EIECEM and coupled to the electrical source to create ignite or explode the EIECEM. A plurality of shaped charges may be disposed downhole and may be ignited or exploded in any suitable order. The EIECEM may be ignited multiple times such that multiple explosions are created. The explosion of the EIECEM creates or extends a perforation or fracture in a formation. The perforation or fracture (or cavity) may be filled by a fluid to repair or plug and abandon a well.

Abstract: Gas hydrates are formed in treatment fluid in situ within the wellbore. Foaming of the treatment fluid can occur both during the introduction of the gas treatment fluid to form hydrates and downhole near the subterranean reservoir where the heat of the reservoir will cause the gas hydrates to revert back to a gaseous state. The method involves preparing a treatment fluid comprising an aqueous base fluid, and a viscosifying agent at the surface. This treatment fluid is then introduced into the wellbore. Also, at the surface, a liquefied natural gas is pressurized and then vaporized to produce a vaporized natural gas. The vaporized natural gas is introduced into the wellbore so as to mix with the treatment fluid also being introduced. The introduction is such that gas hydrates are formed from the natural gas in the treatment fluid in situ within the wellbore.

Abstract: Certain conditions require powering down an engine driving a pump. During the down sequence the pump may continue pumping servicing fluid which may not be desirable. Activating one or more control valves may throttle or prevent the servicing fluid from being pumped from the pump during the power down sequence. Activation of an input control valve may introduce pressurized fluid into a cylinder of the pump extending a rod to force or maintain a suction valve in an open position. While the suction valve is in the open position, the stroke of the plunger may not create enough pressure to pump the servicing fluid causing the servicing fluid to flow between a fluid header and a chamber of the pump. Activation of an output control valve may divert servicing fluid pumped from the pump to a reservoir instead of to the desired location.

Abstract: Certain conditions or triggering events require preventing or throttling the discharge of a servicing fluid from a pump to a wellhead or a borehole. Powering down may not be desirable or may require a duration that allows the condition or triggering event to persist. Selectively and automatically activating one or more pressure control valves may throttle or prevent the servicing fluid from being pumped from the pump during the power down sequence or without requiring a power down sequence. Selective activation of a pressure control valve may introduce pressurized fluid into a cylinder of the pump extending a rod to force or maintain a suction valve in an open position. While the suction valve is in the open position, the stroke of the plunger may not create enough pressure to pump the servicing fluid causing the servicing fluid to flow between a fluid header and a chamber of the pump.
