20140338902 | POLYSACCHARIDE DELIVERY UNIT FOR WELLBORE TREATMENT AGENT AND METHOD - A method of treating a subterranean formation. The method may include providing a well treatment including a treatment complex formed of a treatment agent encapsulated, entrapped, or embedded in a polysaccharide, introducing the treatment complex into a wellbore through a subterranean formation, and allowing the treatment complex to release the treatment agent over a release time period. The method may include allowing the treatment complex to release the treatment agent after a delay time period from the introduction of the treatment complex into the wellbore. | 11-20-2014 |
20140262269 | METHOD TO REPAIR LEAKS IN A CEMENTED ANNULUS - A method of providing pressure containment of a well having a well annulus. The well annulus contains a set cement, and the cement contains flow paths which communicate a well pressure to the surface. The method includes placing a containment cement slurry in a reception area at the top of the well and installing an injection delivery system within the reception area. The method may further include preparing a settable fluid for injection into the flow paths and injecting the settable fluid through the injection delivery system into the flow paths. In one disclosed embodiment, the injection delivery system may include a series of injection tubulars configured to deliver the settable fluid to the flow paths. The injection delivery system may include a template having a first, second, third and fourth injection tubular. According to this disclosure, the method may also include allowing the settable fluid to set, monitoring the pressure of the well annulus, and performing remedial well action based on the observed pressures. | 09-18-2014 |
20140187450 | Internal Breaker for Fluid Loss Control Pills and Method - A method of treating a subterranean formation. The method may include providing a fluid-loss control pill that comprises an aqueous base fluid, a gelling agent, and an internal breaker that is selected from the group consisting of inorganic delayed acids or inorganic salts. The method can include introducing the fluid-loss control pill into a subterranean formation, allowing the internal breaker to reduce the viscosity of the pill after a delay period, and allowing the fluid-loss control pill to break. | 07-03-2014 |
20140182854 | FLUID LOSS CONTROL PILL WITH INTERNAL BREAKER AND METHOD - A method of treating a subterranean formation. The method may include providing a fluid loss control pill that comprises an aqueous base fluid, a gelling agent, and an internal breaker that is selected from the group consisting of inorganic delayed acids or inorganic salts. The method can include introducing the fluid loss control pill into a subterranean formation, allowing the internal breaker to reduce the viscosity of the pill after a delay period, and allowing the fluid loss control pill to break. | 07-03-2014 |
