  • Patent number: 12252647
    Abstract: Methods including the steps of mixing a treatment fluid comprising: a base fluid; a strong acid; and a plant edible demulsifier (PED). Wherein the PED comprises a capsaicinoid extract at a wt % range of 0.5 wt % to 10 wt %, based on the total weight of the treatment fluid. And then pumping the treatment fluid into a wellbore drilled through a subterranean formation. Wherein the PED reduces or eliminates formation of an emulsion in the treatment fluid. Some methods take the further step of injecting the PED into a wellbore drilled through the subterranean formation. And systems using the PED.

  • Patent number: 12221580
    Abstract: Methods for hydraulic fracturing may utilize a fracturing fluid that includes a dual-polymer base fluid for all stages of a hydraulic fracturing operation. The dual-polymer base fluid includes a polysaccharide polymer and a polyacrylamide polymer. The dual-polymer base fluid and a crosslinker may be pumped into a wellbore drilled into a formation. A pump rate may be increased to induce one or more fractures in the formation. Proppant may be added to the dual-polymer base fluid while pumping. The proppant may be injected into the one or more fractures. The pump rate may then be reduced, and the dual-polymer base fluid may flow back into the wellbore.

  • Patent number: 11458419
    Abstract: Some examples of an emulsion system for treating deep water blockage can be prepared by emulsifying a first aqueous phase in a first organic phase to prepare a first emulsion. A second aqueous phase can be emulsified in a second organic phase to prepare a second emulsion. The first emulsion and the second emulsion can be flowed into a subterranean formation. The first aqueous phase and the second aqueous phase, when mixed, can react to release nitrogen and heat.

  • Patent number: 10626324
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to double emulsified acids, specifically water in oil in water (W/O/W) double emulsions with an acidic interior water phase. The double emulsified acid may include two or more emulsifying agents. In addition to improving the stability of the emulsions, the emulsifying agents may help slow the acid reaction rate. The first emulsifying agent may have an HLB greater than 7 and the second emulsifying agent may have an HLB less than or equal to 7. Other embodiments are directed to methods for producing a double emulsified acid and methods for acidizing a carbonate formation including a double emulsified acid.
