Abstract:
Described herein are substantially linear copolymeric compositions having at least two azide groups and at least two non-activated acetylene groups. The azide groups and the non-activated acetylene groups are reacted to cure the substantially linear copolymer composition. Also, described are methods of making and using such substantially linear copolymeric compositions.
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.

A hot melt adhesive including a poly(lactide) homopolymer or copolymer with a molecular weight of about 1000 to about 40000 Daltons; and a plasticizer including an ester with about 50% to about 99% bio-based content; wherein the viscosity of the hot melt adhesive composition is about 500 to about 15,000 cPs at 350F, and wherein the hot melt adhesive composition is substantially free of tackifying resins.
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.
Abstract:
Provided are sealing elements useful for isolating or diverting segments of a well in a hydraulic fracturing operation. These sealing elements resist the extreme temperatures and pressures encountered within a well, yet can be degraded or dissolved when no longer needed without use of hazardous acids or other chemicals. The sealing elements are made from a composite containing one or more resins of polylactic acid combined with a degradant that can be customized to provide facile degradation of the sealing element over a wide range of operative temperatures and pressures. These compositions may optionally include a swellant that causes the sealing element to expand after being seated against a well perforation or passageway to provide an enhanced seal.
Abstract:
Particles having a first region and a second region surrounding the first region where the second region includes a copolymer extending across a thickness of the second region are described. The volume of the second region is at least 75 percent of the volume of the particle. The particles have a composition and a refractive index that each vary across the thickness of the second region.

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:
An adhesive article for masking a portion of a substrate surface from a liquid coating applied to the surface includes a support having first and second opposed major surfaces, and a cationic or zwitterionic adhesive composition disposed on at least a portion of at least one of the first and second opposed major surfaces. The adhesive composition provides a barrier that impedes the migration of the coating past the edge of the adhesive article.
