Disclosed herein are methods and systems for subterranean zonal isolation, and more particularly to systems and methods of plugging a permeable zone in a wellbore using an elastic sealant composition comprising a cross-linkable polymer, a cross-linking agent, and an elasticity modifier, wherein the elasticity modifier comprises at least one elasticity modifier selected from the group consisting of organophilically-modified clay and/or latex. The elastic sealant compositions may be used for downhole and pipeline applications. For instance, the elastic sealant compositions may be placed into annular space or on top of a packer to seal off fluid flow from water and/or gas zone downhole. The elastic sealant compositions may also be used for pipelines where they may be able to withstand the potential change in diameter without breaking apart. The elastic sealant compositions may be used as pigs for pipelines, for example.

Elastic conformance gels

The present disclosure is directed to an aqueous gellable composition that includes water; 10 to 45 composition wt. % of a crosslinkable water-soluble polymer including at least one functional group selected from the group of carboxylic acid and carboxylic acid derivative; 1 to 10 composition wt. % of an organic or inorganic crosslinking agent for the crosslinkable water-soluble polymer; 10 to 40 composition wt. % of a polyurethane polymer; and 0.1 to 5 composition wt. % of a natural polymer. The organic crosslinking agent includes at least one compound from the group of: polyalkyleneimines, polyalkylene polyamines, phenolic compounds combined with formaldehyde, and hydroquinone combined with hexamethylenetetramine. Also, the inorganic crosslinking agent includes at least one metal compound M, wherein M is from the group of: aluminum(III), chromium(III), iron(III), zirconium(III), and any mixture thereof.

Aqueous gellable composition and pipeline pigs obtained therefrom

Provided are wellbore treatment fluids and methods to introduce these treatment fluids in a subterranean formation. The treatment fluids include a diverter material and an aqueous carrier fluid. Further, the diverter material comprises a composite material of a polyvinyl alcohol and a plasticizer. The diverter material includes particles having a particle size distribution of about 2 to about 10 U.S. mesh and an aspect ratio of 20:1 or less. The treatment fluid is introduced into a permeable zone of a subterranean formation, wherein the permeable zone is part of a wellbore that is permeated or penetrated by fractures and fissures. The diverter material diverts at least partially the treatment fluid to a different portion of the subterranean formation.

Plasticized polyvinyl alcohol diverter materials

Methods and compositions for performing a sealing operation in a wellbore. An example method introduces a sealant composition into the wellbore while the sealant composition is under shear. The sealant composition comprises a thixotropic material, a conformance gel system, and an aqueous base fluid. The sealant composition is placed into a target location, and applied shear is reduced to the sealant composition when in the target location thereby allowing the sealant composition to thicken in the target location. Fluid flow across the target location is reduced by a fluid seal formed by the thickened sealant composition.

Method for wellbore sealing

Methods and compositions for treating subterranean formations with fluids containing superabsorbent polymer particles are provided. In one embodiment, the methods comprise introducing a treatment fluid into a well bore penetrating at least a portion of a subterranean formation, the treatment fluid including an aqueous base fluid, and one or more superabsorbent polymer particles comprising a plurality of monomers and one or more crosslinkers wherein at least one crosslinker is a labile crosslinker.
