  • Publication number: 20200407622
    Abstract: Described herein are compositions useful for controlling fluid flow, for example in a target zone of a subterranean environment, and methods of forming and using the same. The composition generally comprises a quantity of fibers and a quantity of swellable particles, which may be dispersed in a carrier fluid. The composition may be synthesized in the form of a bulk gel or may be gelatinated during use. The fibers in the compositions provide improved performance as compared to prior PPG and RPPG particle-containing compositions. Specifically, the compositions reinforce the re-cross-linked/re-associated hydrogel plug in underground features and support proper rehydration of RPPG particles with water or brine to better to provide structural support for the particles within the gel and to more completely fill underground void space conduits.

  • Publication number: 20200407625
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for overpressure mitigation or prevention in a well system. The overpressure mitigation systems and methods obtain downhole pressure measurements using a downhole pressure sensor. A rate of change of the downhole pressure is determined based on the downhole pressure measurements, and the rate of change is compared with a rate-of-change threshold. The rate-of-change threshold is determined uniquely for each well system in real time based on a flow rate of the fluid, a volume of the fluid, a proppant concentration in the fluid, a speed of sound in the fluid, and/or other features of the fluid, the proppant, the wellbore, a casing, or other components of the well system.
