In one embodiment, the present technology provides a surfactant composition comprising an imide compound in an optional solvent for use in a hydrocarbon base fluid to improve the emulsification of an acidizing agent in the hydrocarbon base fluid. In another embodiment, the present technology provides a method of employing an acidizing well-bore stimulation fluid containing the surfactant composition to stimulate a reservoir.

Acid emulsifier technology for continuous mixed emulsified acid systems

Systems and methods for treating formation intervals including forming a low permeability layer on a surface of the interval and pumping a sand control treating solution through the layer, which diverts the flow into the formation permitting improved treatment uniformity and improved overall internal treatment.

Hydraulic diversion systems to enhance matrix treatments and methods for using same

Systems and methods generate optimized formation fracturing operational parameters by iteratively optimizing bottom hole temperature design, perforation design, fracturing fluid pulse design, and proppant design based on formation properties, proppant properties, candidate selection, flow and geomechanical modeling, and engineering design, where the systems and methods as implemented on a digital processing unit.

Systems and methods for optimizing formation fracturing operations

Methods for forming proppant pillars in a formation during formation fracturing include include periods of pumping a first fracturing fluid including a proppant and an aggregating composition including a reaction product of a phosphate compound or a plurality of phosphate and an amine, periods of pumping a second fracturing fluid excluding a proppant and an aggregating composition including a reaction product of a phosphate compound and periods of pumping a third fracturing fluid including an aggregating composition including a reaction product of a phosphate compound, where the pumping of the three fracturing fluids may be in any order and may involve continuous pumping, pulse pumping, or non-continuous pumping.

Methods and system for creating high conductivity fractures

Compositions include (1) aggregating compositions capable of forming deformable partial or complete coatings on formation surfaces, formation particle surfaces, downhole fluid solid surfaces, and/or proppant surfaces, where the coatings increase aggregation and/or agglomeration propensities of the particles and surfaces to form particles clusters or pillars having deformable coatings, and (2) aggregation stabilizing and/or strengthening compositions capable of altering properties of the coated clusters or pillars to form consolidated, stabilized, and/or strengthened clusters or pillars. Methods for stabilizing aggregated particle clusters or pillars include (1) treating the particles with an aggregating composition to form aggregated clusters or pillars and (2) treating the aggregated particle clusters or pillars with a stabilizing or strengthening composition to form consolidated, stabilized, and/or strengthened clusters or pillars.

Method to consolidate solid materials during subterranean treatment operations

A well servicing fluid is formulated by combining ingredients comprising: an aqueous based fluid comprising sulfate ions at a concentration greater than 50 mg/l; a chelating agent; and an acid in an amount sufficient to result in the well servicing fluid having a pH of 4.5 or less. A method of servicing a well is also disclosed.
