A method for heating a subterranean formation includes the steps of positioning a well to a subterranean formation; disposing an energy transforming material in the formation; and exposing the material to energy whereby the material generates heat.

Method for heating subterranean formation, particularly for heating reservoir fluids in near well bore zone

A method for treating a drilling fluid is provided, which method includes the steps of providing a drilling fluid, providing a drilling fluid additive in the form of superparamagnetic nanoparticles, mixing the drilling fluid additive with the drilling fluid so as to provide a treated drilling fluid, and exposing the treated drilling fluid to a magnetic field so as to recover the superparamagnetic nanoparticles.

Method for treating drilling fluid using nanoparticles

A method for altering wettability of a reservoir formation includes the steps of providing a water-based fluid containing a wettability altering coating system; and flowing the fluid into a reservoir so as to coat the reservoir with the coating system.

Water-based system for altering wettability of porous media

A method for sealing an annular space between a bore hole and a casing includes the steps of: providing a fluid sealing system comprising a particulate material and a bonding agent; positioning the fluid sealing system in the annular space whereby the particulate material adheres to walls of the bore hole and the casing; and curing the fluid sealing system so as to form a solid seal in the annular space.

Composition and method for sealing an annular space between a well bore and a casing

A method for drilling and completing a well includes the steps of drilling through a subterranean formation with a drill bit so as to form a well bore having a side wall; applying a consolidating material to the side wall under pressure so that said consolidating material flows into the side wall and provides a coated side wall coated with the consolidating material; and passing a scraping member having a desired profile past the coated side wall so as to provide the coated side wall with the desired profile an apparatus is also provided.
