Ferromagnetic proppant including 3D cross particle core and a ferromagnetic material. Methods of increasing the permeability of a subterranean zone, and methods of enhancing heavy oil recovery.

Material and method for flow diversion in proppant fracturing

A process and associated system for generating a hydrogen product from a feed gas stream comprising hydrogen sulfide. The process includes thermally decomposing hydrogen sulfide present in the feed gas stream into hydrogen gas and elemental sulfur in a thermal decomposition unit. The thermal decomposition unit includes a reactor vessel with a porous susceptor disposed and retained therein and a microwave generation unit positioned and configured to deliver microwave energy to the porous susceptor. Thermally decomposing hydrogen sulfide in the thermal decomposition unit includes directing microwave energy into the porous susceptor to raise the temperature of the porous, susceptor to greater than 1,000° C. and then passing the hydrogen sulfide through the porous susceptor to thermally decompose the hydrogen sulfide and generate a thermal decomposition unit effluent. The process further includes separating the thermal decomposition unit effluent into a sulfur fraction, a hydrogen rich fraction, and a hydrogen sulfide fraction.

A method of treating a region of a subterranean formation adjacent a wellbore zone, the method including cooling the wellbore zone to a wellbore temperature below a temperature of the region of the subterranean formation adjacent the wellbore zone, injecting a gellable treatment composition through the wellbore zone into the region of the subterranean formation adjacent the wellbore zone, and allowing the gellable treatment composition to gel in the region to prevent or reduce flow of an unwanted fluid from the region into the wellbore zone.

Selective zonal isolation

A method for zonal isolation in a subterranean formation includes identifying a zone of interest within the subterranean formation, determining a static temperature of the zone of interest, determining a time duration for gelation of a treatment fluid, determining a concentration of a cross-linker in the treatment fluid, determining a volume of the treatment fluid to be delivered to the zone of interest, determining a correlation between cooling of a wellbore near the zone of interest and a delivery rate of the treatment fluid, determining a target wellbore temperature, delivering a cooling stage until the target wellbore temperature is reached, and delivering a treatment stage. Delivering the cooling stage and the treatment stage results in forming, within the zone of interest, a gel that is impermeable to fluid flow.

Rigless method for selective zonal isolation in subterranean formations using polymer gels

A method for zonal isolation in a subterranean formation includes identifying a zone of interest within the subterranean formation, determining a static temperature of the zone of interest, determining a time duration for gelation of a treatment fluid, determining a concentration of an accelerator in the treatment fluid, determining a volume of the treatment fluid to be delivered to the zone of interest, determining a correlation between cooling of a wellbore near the zone of interest and a delivery rate of the treatment fluid, determining a target wellbore temperature, delivering a cooling stage until the target wellbore temperature is reached, and delivering a treatment stage. Delivering the cooling stage and the treatment stage results in forming, within the zone of interest, a gel that is impermeable to fluid flow.
