Patent number: 9334438Abstract: This invention relates to compositions and methods for treating subterranean formations, in particular, oilfield stimulation compositions and methods using water-in-water polymer emulsions to uniformly dissolve a rheologically active polymer, such as a thickener or friction reducer, in the treatment fluid. The emulsions have a low viscosity and are easily pumped for mixing into a treatment fluid, where upon dilution with an aqueous medium, the polymer is easily hydrated without forming fish-eyes. The partitioning agent in the water-in-water emulsion does not generally affect the rheology of the treatment fluid. The invention also relates to further processing of the emulsion by wet grinding, high shear mixing and/or heating to enhance the hydration rate in the preparation of the well treatment fluid.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2011Date of Patent: May 10, 2016Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Philip F.

Publication number: 20140096969Abstract: A method is described for treating a formation adjacent a subterranean well with a treatment fluid composition imparted with emulsion formation prevention properties. A microemulsion additive is mixed into a treatment fluid component to form a volume of a treatment fluid composition having emulsion formation prevention properties. The microemulsion additive is composed of a mixture solvent, a co-solvent, a mutual solvent, a non-emulsifier, a non-ionic surfactant, a non-ionic co-surfactant, alcohol, an emulsifying surfactant, and an aqueous fluid. The volume of the fluid composition is then injected into the subterranean well and contacts the formation, whereby the microemulsion additive in the treatment fluid volume acts to prevent emulsion formation in the formation.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 4, 2012Publication date: April 10, 2014Inventors: Syed Afaq Ali, Yenny Christanti

Patent number: 8579029Abstract: A method includes providing a treatment fluid that is a viscous fluid. The viscous fluid may be greater than 0.01 Pa-s, greater than 0.1 Pa-s, and/or a cross-linked polymer based fluid. The method further includes determining a fines migration composition soluble in an aqueous phase of the treatment fluid that is compatible with the treatment fluid, and that interacts to secure fines in an earth formation intersecting a wellbore within a fines reaction time. The method further includes adding an amount of the fines migration composition to the treatment fluid, and treating the earth formation with the treatment fluid. The method includes leaking off a portion of the treatment fluid into the earth formation, and providing a residence time of the leaked off portion of the treatment fluid in the earth formation, where the residence time meets or exceeds the fines reaction time.Type: GrantFiled: December 21, 2009Date of Patent: November 12, 2013Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Carlos Abad, Yenny Christanti, Syed Ali, Balkrishna Gadiyar, Brent Busby

Patent number: 8517102Abstract: A thickened aqueous composition is delivered to a subterranean location accessible via a wellbore by steps of i. providing a biphasic aqueous mixture comprising two aqueous solutions which, at surface temperature and pressure, are able to co-exist as separate aqueous phases in contact with each other, ii. pumping said biphasic aqueous system down the wellbore to the subterranean location, and iii. converting the biphasic mixture below ground so that its phases combine into a single aqueous phase which is more viscous than the biphasic mixture. The two phases of the aqueous biphasic mixture contain dissolved solutes which segregate between the two phases such that at least one first solute is present at a greater concentration in the first aqueous phase than in the second aqueous phase while at least one second solute is present at a greater concentration in the second aqueous phase than in the first aqueous phase.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2008Date of Patent: August 27, 2013Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Philip Sullivan, Gary Tustin, Yenny Christanti, Gregory Kubala, Bruno Drochon, Trevor Hughes
