Subterranean formation treating fluid concentrates, treating fluids and methods are provided by the present invention. The treating fluid concentrates are basically comprised of water and a substantially fully hydrated depolymerized polymer. The treating fluids which are formed by adding water to the treating fluid concentrates are basically comprised of water, a substantially fully hydrated depolymerized polymer and a crosslinking agent for crosslinking the hydrated depolymerized polymer.

Subterranean formation treating fluid concentrates, treating fluids and methods

The present invention provides methods of stimulating fluid production while preventing the migration of sand with produced fluids from an unconsolidated subterranean formation penetrated by a well bore. The methods basically comprise the steps of creating one or more fractures in the formation, injecting a hardenable resin composition into a portion of the formation through which the fractures extend whereby the portion of the formation is consolidated into a hard permeable mass and depositing proppant in the fractures to maintain the fractures open.

Unconsolidated formation stimulation with sand filtration

The present invention provides a method of treating a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation with a treatment fluid whereby fine particulate flowback is reduced or prevented. The method includes the steps of providing a fluid suspension including a mixture of a particulate coated with a tackifying compound, pumping the suspension into a subterranean formation and depositing the mixture within the formation whereby the tackifying compound retards movement of at least a portion of any fine particulate within the formation upon flow of fluids from the subterranean formation through the wellbore. Alternatively, the tackifying compound may be introduced into a subterranean formation in a diluent containing solution to deposit upon previously introduced particulates to retard movement of such particulates and any fines subject to flow with production of fluids from the subterranean formation.

Control of fine particulate flowback in subterranean wells

The present invention provides a method of treating a subterranean formation with a particulate laden fluid whereby particulate flowback is reduced or prevented. The method includes the steps of providing a fluid suspension including a mixture of a particulate, a tackifying compound and a hardenable resin, pumping the suspension into a subterranean formation and depositing the mixture within the formation whereby the tackifying compound retards movement of at least a portion of the particulate within the formation upon flow of fluids from the subterranean formation and said hardenable resin subsequently consolidates at least a portion of said particulate within said formation.

Control of particulate flowback in subterranean wells

The present invention provides a method of treating a subterranean formation with a particulate laden fluid whereby particulate flowback is reduced or prevented. The method includes the steps of providing a fluid suspension including a mixture of a particulate upon admixture therewith, pumping the suspension into a subterranean formation and depositing the mixture within the formation whereby the tackifying compound retards movement of at least a portion of the particulate within the formation upon flow of fluids from the subterranean formation.

The present invention relates to methods of preparing and using substantially debris-free gelled aqueous well treating fluids containing a cellulose gelling agent. The preparation methods comprise the steps of forming a gelled aqueous fluid and then mixing an amine phosphonate compound therewith to cause the hydration of unhydrated gelling agent remaining therein.

A sealant composition which is particularly useful for sealing and locking pipe threads is provided. The composition is comprised of a hardenable liquid resin, a powdered inert filler dispersed in the resin, and a dispersing and thixotropy imparting agent comprised of a precipitated alkaline earth metal carbonate or a mixture of such carbonates.

Sealant composition

Methods of consolidating incompetent subterranean formations are provided whereby aqueous treating solutions are utilized to condition the formation, to carry a hardenable organic consolidating fluid into the formation and/or to carry particulated solids coated with a hardenable organic consolidating fluid into the formation and to cause the organic consolidating fluid to harden whereby a hard permeable mass is formed in the formation which prevents the undesirable movement of loose or incompetent sands therein.
