Non-aqueous suspension composition of water-soluble polymers and method for treating a subterranean formation comprising the step of placing an aqueous fluid containing the suspension composition into the subterranean formation.

Non-aqueous suspensions

A method of minimizing the weight loss of mass of the drilling pipe and wellbore casing while drilling a subterranean well with an oil-based drilling fluid comprising adding to the oil-based drilling fluid an anti-wear additive based on sulfated, sulfonated or sulfited natural oils or fats of vegetable or animal origin.

Method of drilling a wellbore

The present invention relates to a rheology modifier and to its use as thickener in oil-based subterranean treatment fluids; more particularly, the rheology modifier is an aqueous slurry of a pyromellitamide.

Rheology modifier for subterranean treatment fluids

Method for inhibiting the swelling and the dispersion of shales in the treatment of subterranean shale formations comprising the use of a cationic tamarind gum and fluids for the treatment of subterranean shale formations comprising a cationic tamarind gum.

Shale inhibitors based on cationic tamarind gum, and drilling fluid comprising the shale inhibitor

Cleaning composition for use in cleaning wellbore walls, tubing or casing comprising: (i) from about 5% to 100% by weight of a mixture M consisting of from 10% to 50% by weight of acetophenone, from 5% to 30% by weight of butyl glycol and from 40% to 80% by weight of a surfactant, and (ii) from 0% to 95% by weight of water, in which (i)+(ii) sum up for at least 85% by weight of the cleaning composition; and process for cleaning a wellbore wall.

Process for the cleaning oil and gas wellbores

Method for increasing lubricity of a wellbore fluid comprising the following steps: i) preparing a water in oil microemulsion that contains insoluble particles of metal hydroxides and/or metal oxides in the inner aqueous phase, the insoluble particles being synthesized from their salt precursors in the water droplets of the microemulsion; ii) adding to the wellbore fluid the water in oil microemulsion; iii) injecting the wellbore fluid into a subterranean formation and iv) performing the drilling, completion or coiled tubing operations in the subterranean formation.

Method of increasing lubricity of wellbore fluids

Method of treating a portion of a subterranean formation comprising the injection of an aqueous fluid containing a modified polysaccharide bearing ethylenically unsaturated double bonds and an initiator of radical polymerization.

Method for treating subterranean formations

The present disclosure relates to a method of treating a portion of a subterranean formation comprising the use of an aqueous fracturing fluid containing a fast dissolving and easily dispersible unpunfied polygalactomannan ether.

Method of treating subterranean formations

Water in oil emulsion drilling and well treatment fluids comprising an ester of trimer fatty acids and polyoxyethyiene glycol, the polyoxyethyiene glycol having average molecular weight from about (150) to about (600) and the trimer acids having at least about 20% of carboxyl acid groups esterified, as rheology modifier.

The hydration of clays in drilling operations can be inhibited by employing an aqueous based drilling fluid containing from about 0.2 to about 5 wt % of a hydration inhibitor that comprises bis-hexamethylene-triamine, bis-hexamethylene-triamine salts, or mixtures thereof.

Clay inhibitors for the drilling industry

A method for reducing filtrate loss of oil based drilling fluids comprising the following steps: a) preparing by emulsion polymerization an aqueous dispersion containing: i) from 20% to 60% by weight of a copolymer comprising from 60% to 90% by weight of styrene and/or vinyltoluene monomers, from 7 to 40% by weight of 2-ethylhexyl acrylate monomers and from 0.01 to 3% of polyfunctional unsaturated monomers; ii) from 40 to 80% by weight of water; iii) from 0.1% to 5% by weight of at least one surfactant; b) providing an oil based drilling fluid containing the aqueous dispersion obtained from step a), or its copolymer in powder form; c) injecting and circulating the drilling fluid in the borehole.

Method for reducing filtrate loss from oil based drilling fluids

Esters of alkanolamines with unsaturated, polyunsaturated or saturated C-Cmonocarboxylic acids are additives for reducing accretion on drilling equipment (anti-accretion agents) to be used in drilling muds during drilling and completion of oil and gas wells.

Anti-accretion agents for drilling fluids

Tail seal compound (tail seal) for tunnelling machine comprising blown oils, more than 30% by weight of a mineral charge and fibrous material.

Tail seals

The hydration of clays in drilling operations can be inhibited by employing a an aqueous based drilling fluid containing from about 0.2 to about 5 wt % of a hydration inhibitor that comprises bis-hexamethylene-triamine, bis-hexamethylene-triamine salts, or mixtures thereof.

The present invention relates to a liquid, self-breakable, temporary viscosifier agent (yield point enhancer) for oil based drilling muds, obtained by reacting one or more dicarboxylic fatty acids with a secondary dialkanolamine and thereafter with a tertiary tialkanolamine, and to oil based drilling muds containing it.
