Swellable packer assemblies for providing a physical barrier inside a wellbore are provided. In one embodiment, the swellable packer comprises at least one seal element disposed on an outer surface of a tubular body portion which swells when contacted with one or more gases, the seal element comprising a polymer derived from a perfluoro vinyl monomer.

Gas responsive material for swellable packers

A method for wellbore stimulation of a subterranean formation that includes preparing an emulsified acid, preparing a resin coated proppant, combining the emulsified acid and the resin coated proppant, mixing to form an acid fracturing slurry and performing a fracturing stimulation of a subterranean formation with the acid fracturing slurry containing the resin coated proppant.

Controlling proppant flowback using resin chemistry for acid fracturing

A method comprising: introducing into a fracture within a subterranean formation a first treatment fluid comprising uncoated first proppant particulates; introducing into the fracture a second treatment fluid comprising non-hardenable coated second proppant particulates to form a proppant pack; and introducing into the fracture a third treatment fluid comprising hardenable coated third proppant particulates intermittently between a spacer fluid to form pillars.

Method of using low-strength proppant in high closure stress fractures

A method of treating a zone of a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore, the method including the steps of: (a) forming a treatment fluid comprising: (i) water; (ii) a strong acid); (iii) a water-soluble polymer having at least one functional group that can be crosslinked with aluminum(III); (iv) a water-soluble aluminum carboxylate; and (v) a complexion agent for calcium ions; wherein the pH of the treatment fluid is less than the pH required for the aluminum to crosslink the polymer to form a crosslinked gel; (b) introducing the treatment fluid through the wellbore into the zone; and (c) allowing time for the strong acid in the treatment fluid to spend in the formation such that the pH of the fluid increases sufficiently for the aluminum of the aluminum carboxylate to crosslink the polymer.

In-situ crosslinking and calcium ion complexation for acidizing a subterranean formation

Methods of inhibiting corrosion of a metal surface in a well or pipeline are provided. The methods include the steps of: (a) forming a fluid of: (i) an aqueous acid solution; and (ii) inulin; and (b) introducing the fluid into the well or pipeline. The methods have wide application in various kinds of operations involved in the production or transportation of oil and gas, such as acid stimulation or remedial treatment in a pipeline.
