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:
A method of forming a subterranean well and a method of reducing lost circulation in a subterranean well while drilling the subterranean well are disclosed. The methods include using multi-component fibers as lost-circulation materials. The multi-component fibers having external surfaces and include at least a first polymeric composition and a second polymeric composition. At least a portion of the external surfaces of the multi-component fibers includes the first polymeric composition, which at least partially adhesively bonds the mud cake formed during the method.
Abstract:
Fiber aggregate comprising organic polymeric fibers, wherein the organic polymeric fibers have an average length in a range from 2 to 20 millimeters, an average diameter up to 100 micrometer, and comprise at least 75 percent by solid volume of the fiber aggregate, wherein the fiber aggregate has an unrestrained bulk density of at least 0.05 g/cm3, and wherein at least 85% by volume of the fiber aggregate disassociates to provide dispersed fibers. The fiber aggregates are useful, for example, for flowback control in wellbores and reservoirs.
Abstract:
A well cement composition includes a hydraulic well cement and multi-component fibers having at least a first polymeric composition and a second polymeric composition. At least a portion of the external surfaces of the multi-component fibers includes the first polymeric composition, and the first polymeric composition includes an ethylene-methacrylic acid or ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer. A method of cementing a subterranean well is also described. The method includes introducing the well cement composition into a wellbore, wherein the well cement composition further comprises water, and forming a cured cement in the wellbore.
Abstract:
Multi-component fibers comprising at least one polymer having a softening temperature up to 150°C, and another polymer having a melting point of at least 130°C. The fibers are non-fusing up to at least 110°C. The fibers are useful, for example, for flowback control in wellbores and reservoirs.

Abstract:
Fluid compositions and methods of making and using same are described, one composition comprising a well treatment fluid and an additive combined with the well treatment fluid, wherein the additive is selected from solids, liquids and combinations thereof, the additive having a surface shape, at least one property of the surface shape enabling it to change under influence of a controllable parameter after the composition is deployed into a hydraulic fracture or gravel pack. In methods of the disclosure, the additive exists initially in a first state, and then is changed to a second state. The first state may increase proppant flowback efficiency, while the second state may increase hydraulic conductivity. In certain embodiments, the additive may change back to its first state.
