Abstract: A method of treating a multi-zoned subterranean formation with composites having well treatment agents is disclosed. The well treatment agent treated in each zone is distinguishable. At least a portion of the well treatment agent is released from one of the composites into the well or formation. The formation of undesirable contaminants may be inhibited or prevented in the well or in the formation by the release of the well treatment agent from one or more of the composites. The well treatment agent also serves as a tracer. When fluid transported from the formation or well is collected, the source of the transported fluid may be determined by comparing a chemical or physical parameter of the well treatment agent with a working set of known taggants.

Abstract: Hydrogen sulfide and mercaptans may be removed from a fluid or gaseous stream by introducing a composite to the fluid or gaseous stream containing a hydrogen sulfide scavenger adsorbed onto a water-insoluble adsorbent.

Abstract: A well treatment composite comprising a well treatment agent adsorbed onto a water-insoluble adsorbent may be prepared by precipitating the well treatment agent, in the presence of a metal salt, from a liquid while the well treatment agent is being adsorbed onto the water-insoluble adsorbent. After a treatment fluid containing the composite is introduced into a well or a subterranean formation, the well treatment agent is slowly released from the composite. The composite permits a continuous supply of the well treatment agent into a targeted area and is particularly effective in high pH treatment fluids.

Abstract: In some embodiments, a method of delivering at least one chemical into an underground well equipped with a reciprocating plunger includes retaining the plunger above the well after the well is unloaded and shut in, dispensing at least one chemical into the well and releasing the plunger so that the plunger may drop in the well after the chemical(s).

Abstract: A paving composition is disclosed comprising a bituminous material, such as asphalt, and a reaction product of at least one polycarboxylic acid reacted with at least one polyamine. The composition preferably is substantially free of water. The reaction product can be a diamide compound. The paving composition can further include mineral aggregate. The paving composition can be used in applications such as road construction or repair.
