Abstract:
Methods of contacting a subterranean formation are described which provide improved control or reduction of particulate migration, transport or flowback in wellbores and reservoirs, and which may do so without sacrificing substantial hydraulic conductivity. One method comprises injecting into a well-bore intersecting the subterranean formation a fluid composition comprising a first component and a second component dispersed in a carrier fluid, at least a portion of the first component or second component being provided as at least one multicomponent article having an aspect ratio greater than 1:1.1; forming a network comprising the first component; and binding the network with the second component.
Abstract:
Compositions comprising a proppant core having an outer surface and polymeric microspheres attached to at least a portion of the outer surface are described. The compositions are useful, for example, to increase the productivity of a hydrocarbon oil or gas bearing well.
Abstract:
Fluid compositions and methods of making and using same are described, the fluid compositions comprising at least one solid epoxy particle, at least one epoxy resin curing agent, and at least one type of proppant particles. The methods comprise deploying a fluid composition into a wellbore extending to a subterranean geological formation using pressure sufficient to form a fracture in the subterranean geological formation, and immobilizing at least a portion of the solid epoxy particles and proppant particles in the fracture. Embodiments of the fluid compositions are useful for increasing hydrocarbon production from subterranean geologic formations, and/or controlling solids migration in such formations.
