International Classification:

E21B 43/26
E21B 33/138
C09K 8/90
C09K 8/86

US Classification:

166281, 166294, 507203, 507214, 507269, 507271, 507267, 507239, 507245

Abstract:

A method of treating a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore is accomplished by introducing a fluid into the wellbore containing a combined fluid loss additive and breaker. The combined fluid loss additive and breaker is formed from particles of an organic peroxide provided on a substrate. The particles are sized to facilitate fluid loss control. A treatment operation is carried out wherein a treatment fluid viscosified with a polymer is introduced into the formation through the wellbore.

Appl. No.:

12/714924

Inventors:

Stephen D. Mason - Katy TX, US

Assignee:

SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION - SUGAR LAND TX

International Classification:

H02N 1/04

US Classification:

310309

Abstract:

A downhole static power generator according to one or more aspects of the present disclosure comprises a static charge accumulator comprising a dielectric material having a surface to contact a flowing dielectric fluid. The static charge accumulator may be configured to accumulate electrical-potential in response to the dielectric fluid flowing across the surface. In addition, an electrical-potential storage device may be provided to receive the electrical-potential from the static charge accumulator. A charge harvesting device may also be provided to shunt electrical-potential from the static charge accumulator to the electrical-potential storage device.

International Classification:

E21B 47/11
E21B 34/00

US Classification:

16625012, 166319

Abstract:

A technique provides a system and methodology for detecting and monitoring erosion in various environments, including downhole environments. A tracer element is located in a component such that sufficient erosion of the component due to fluid flow exposes the tracer element. A monitoring system is disposed for cooperation with the tracer element such that exposure of the tracer element is detected by the monitoring system. The monitoring system outputs appropriate data indicative of the erosion to enable adjustments to the fluid flow.

International Classification:

C09K 8/36
C09K 8/584
C09K 8/565

US Classification:

507133, 507129, 507250, 507246

Abstract:

Disclosed herein is a method comprising displacing a first oil-based fluid present in an open hole interval of a wellbore with a second fluid; and contacting the second fluid with an acidic indigenous formation fluid to produce a third fluid wherein the second fluid an aqueous fluid dispersed as a discontinuous phase within an oleaginous fluid, and an amine surfactant, wherein the amine surfactant is selected such that contacting the second fluid with indigenous fluid protonates at least a portion of the amine surfactant in the second fluid to produce the third fluid comprising an emulsion comprising the oleaginous fluid reversibly dispersed as a discontinuous phase within the aqueous fluid. A system for treating a subterranean well and a fluid are also disclosed.

Assignee:

SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATION - Sugar Land TX

International Classification:

E21B 43/26

US Classification:

1663081

Abstract:

The invention discloses a method for use in a wellbore in a tight gas shale formation, comprising: providing a hydraulic fracturing fluid to initiate at least a fracture in the shale; injecting a treatment fluid in the fracture to at least partially destabilize and remove the shale; and repeating the step of fracturing the shale.

International Classification:

E21B 49/08
E21B 44/00
E21B 47/12

US Classification:

16625001, 166 66

Abstract:

A method is disclosed in which an electrical conductivity of a treatment fluid is measured with one or more sensor at various instants of time. The method is further performed by generating one or more signals indicative of the electrical conductivity of the treatment fluid and transmitting the one or more signals to a computer system. The method is further performed by analyzing the one or more signals to determine a phase change in the treatment fluid based upon a positive or negative change in the electrical conductivity of the treatment fluid from a predetermined electrical conductivity range.
