Patent number: 10421894Abstract: The present disclosure relates to delivery and release systems, such as core-shell particles. An exemplary composition according to the disclosure can include a degradable polymeric shell surrounding a core that includes a crosslinker, which can encompass a metal, such as chromium. The core-shell particles can be provided with a gel-forming polymer, such as a polyacrylamide, into a subterranean reservoir having conditions such that the shell of the core-shell polymer degrades, and the so-released metal is effective to at least partially crosslink the gel-forming polymer to form a gel. The so-formed gel can be effective to control water flow through the subterranean reservoir, such as in relation to a waterflood of the reservoir.Type: GrantFiled: June 27, 2017Date of Patent: September 24, 2019Assignee: Research Triangle InstituteInventors: Leah Marie Johnson, Ginger Denison Rothrock, Chasity Antoninette Norton, Nicolas Daniel Huffman, Jeffrey Brent Mecham

Patent number: 10421895Abstract: In one aspect, a secondary or tertiary hydrocarbon recovery method includes flowing a complex emulsion into a subterranean zone. The complex emulsion includes an internal fluid-in-gas emulsion configured to increase a density and a viscosity of a gas in the internal fluid-in-gas emulsion emulsifying a fluid in the internal fluid-in-gas emulsion. The complex emulsion includes an external fluid emulsifying the internal fluid-in-gas emulsion, and the external fluid is configured to carry corrosion inhibitors into the subterranean zone. The complex emulsion includes hydrophobic particles encapsulating an outer surface of droplets of the fluid in the internal fluid-in-gas emulsion. A concentration of the hydrophobic particles is between about 0.1% and 0.5% by weight.Type: GrantFiled: June 28, 2018Date of Patent: September 24, 2019Assignee: Saudi Arabian Oil CompanyInventors: Fawaz M. Al-Otaibi, Sunil Kokal

Patent number: 10421896Abstract: Methods for treating a subterranean formation include providing a first treatment fluid comprising a plurality of degradable diverting agents, introducing the first treatment fluid into the subterranean formation via a wellbore, and allowing a portion of the plurality of degradable diverting agents to divert a flow of at least a portion of the first treatment fluid or a portion of a second treatment fluid from a first location within the wellbore to a second location within the wellbore. The plurality of degradable diverting agents includes a blend of polylactic acid (PLA) and an acid-soluble hard particulate. Compositions for treating a subterranean formation include the plurality of degradable diverting agents.Type: GrantFiled: January 28, 2016Date of Patent: September 24, 2019Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Larry Steven Eoff, Tiffany Anne Pinder

Patent number: 10421897Abstract: This method is designed to facilitate the well treatment with the possibilities for non-uniform/heterogeneous proppant placement in the extended and branched fractures produced by hydraulic fracturing. The essence of the method is to inject a proppant-bearing gel into the wellbore drilled into a productive formation. The low-viscosity fracturing fluid is injected into the wellbore together with the gel fluid (simultaneously or in turns). The method also provides for the injection of gas into the proppant-bearing gel and/or the low-viscosity fluid. The gas can be injected upstream of the junction point, at the junction point, or downstream of the junction point of the flows of the proppant-bearing gel and the low-viscosity fluid. The method further provides for the division of the gel fluid into the separate agglomerates with their subsequent injection into the fractures in the subterranean formation to form the proppant structures in the fracture.Type: GrantFiled: November 30, 2015Date of Patent: September 24, 2019Assignee: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Sergey Sergeevich Skiba, Kira Vladimirovna Yudina, Maxim Pavlovich Yutkin, Bernhard Rudolf Lungwitz, Andrey Vladimirovich Yakovlev, Mohan Kanaka Raju Panga, Konstantin Viktorovich Vidma, Alexey Vladimirovich Alekseev, Chad Kraemer, Geza Horvath Szabo

Patent number: 10421898Abstract: A stabilized emulsified acid composition for deep carbonate formation stimulation is provided. The stabilized acid emulsion composition includes a petroleum operable to provide a barrier between an acid and a reservoir rock, the acid operable to react with the reservoir rock to dissolve the reservoir rock and produce a wormhole, a functional framework operable to stabilize the stabilized acid emulsion, an emulsifier operable to stabilize the stabilized acid emulsion, and a corrosion inhibitor operable to provide protection against corrosion for the metal components of a well. The petroleum can be diesel. The acid can be hydrochloric acid. The functional framework can be selected from the group comprising surface-modified clay-based material, zeolites, hybrid organic-inorganic materials, covalent-organic framework materials, and boron nitride nanotubes, and combinations thereof. The functional framework can be a surface-modified clay material selected from an organoclay.Type: GrantFiled: December 16, 2016Date of Patent: September 24, 2019Assignees: Saudi Arabian Oil Company, Cornell Center for Technology, Enterprise and CommercializationInventors: Amy J.
