Abstract: Provided herein are liquid polymer (LP) compositions comprising a synthetic (co)polymer (e.g., an acrylamide (co)polymer), as well as methods for preparing inverted polymer solutions by inverting these LP compositions in an aqueous fluid. The resulting inverted polymer solutions can have a concentration of a synthetic (co)polymer (e.g., an acrylamide (co)polymer) of from 50 to 15,000 ppm, and a filter ratio of 1.5 or less at 15 psi using a 1.2 μm filter. Also provided are methods of using these inverted polymer solutions in oil and gas operations, including enhanced oil recovery.

Abstract: Described are compositions and methods of using them. The methods can be used to sequester carbon dioxide within a subterranean formation. The methods can include contacting carbon dioxide present in the subterranean formation with a complexing agent, resulting in precipitation of a carbonate or bicarbonate salt of the complexing agent within the subterranean formation.

Abstract: Described herein are compositions and methods that stabilize an injection fluid when exposed to reservoir conditions, reducing formation damage and increasing the amount of hydrocarbon recovered. Specifically, the formulation is a single-phase liquid surfactant package which comprises an anionic surfactant including a hydrophobic tail comprising from 6 to 60 carbon atoms and optionally one or more secondary surfactants.

Abstract: Disclosed are compositions and methods for the pressure protection of existing wells during infill drilling operations. The methods can include injecting an aqueous pressure protection composition into an unconventional subterranean formation via an existing wellbore in fluid communication with a rock matrix of the unconventional subterranean formation prior to and/or during injection of a fracturing fluid into the unconventional subterranean formation via a new wellbore in fluid communication with the rock matrix of the unconventional subterranean formation; and producing a hydrocarbon from the existing wellbore during and/or after the injection of the fracturing fluid into the unconventional subterranean formation via the new wellbore.
