Produced or flowback water from an underground reservoir having been treated with a fluid containing a viscosifying polymer and a vitamin Band/or ylide breaker may be recycled by deactivating the vitamin Band/or ylide breaker with a sulfur or phosphorus containing nucleophilic agent.

Method of treating produced or flowback water with nucleophilic agent to deactivate breaker

A well treatment fluid containing borated galactomannan may be used to isolate a productive zone in a well having multiple productive zones. The fluid is particularly useful in treatment of wells containing a mechanical zonal isolation system in the productive zone of interest. The fluid is pumped into the well in a substantially non-hydrated form. The well treatment fluid is therefore highly effective in preferentially sealing or blocking productive zones in the formation since delayed hydration of the fluid may be controlled for up to several hours.

Method of enhancing productivity of a formation with unhydrated borated galactomannan gum

Solid surfactant suspension compositions are formed by combining solid surfactants, such as alpha-olefin sulfonates, with an organic base fluid, such as diesel. Solid surfactant suspensions may be combined with an aqueous carrier fluid to form surfactant-containing fluids suitable for, among other things, forming foams or for water wetting surfaces. Solid surfactant suspensions may also be combined with additive materials, such as polymer particles, to form a dispersion or emulsion. Polymer-containing solid surfactant suspensions may also be combined with aqueous carrier fluids to form, for example, viscosified, gelled, or foamed fluids. Concentration of solid surfactant materials contained in a solid surfactant suspension may be varied to affect the function the solid surfactant suspension. For example, the solid surfactant material may function as a polymer surface wetting agent, an emulsifier, a dispersant, a viscosifier, and/or a foamer in well completion and remedial and/or workover fluids.

Surfactant compositions and uses therefor

A preferred novel breaker-crosslinker-polymer complex and a method for using the complex in a fracturing fluid to fracture a subterranean formation that surrounds a well bore by pumping the fluid to a desired location within the well bore under sufficient pressure to fracture the surrounding subterranean formation. The complex may be maintained in a substantially non-reactive state by maintaining specific conditions of pH and temperature, until a time at which the fluid is in place in the well bore and the desired fracture is completed. Once the fracture is completed, the specific conditions at which the complex is inactive are no longer maintained. When the conditions change sufficiently, the complex becomes active and the breaker begins to catalyze polymer degradation causing the fracturing fluid to become sufficiently fluid to be pumped from the subterranean formation to the well surface.

High temperature blocking gel is shown for temporary workover operations. The blocking gel is prepared by blending a guar or derivatized guar polymer with an aqueous fluid. The mixing method employed mixes and pumps the guar polymer essentially unhydrated. The resulting lower viscosity minimizes friction pressure during placement.
