Disclosed are compositions and methods for the pressure protection of existing wells during infill drilling operations.

Compositions and methods for pressure protection

Disclosed herein are methods and composition for breaking foam, emulsions, or any combination thereof.

Compositions and methods for breaking foams and emulsions

Disclosed are compositions and methods for the pressure protection of existing wells during infill drilling operations. The methods can include injecting an aqueous pressure protection composition into an unconventional subterranean formation via an existing wellbore in fluid communication with a rock matrix of the unconventional subterranean formation prior to and/or during injection of a fracturing fluid into the unconventional subterranean formation via a new wellbore in fluid communication with the rock matrix of the unconventional subterranean formation; and producing a hydrocarbon from the existing wellbore during and/or after the injection of the fracturing fluid into the unconventional subterranean formation via the new wellbore.

Methods for improving hydrocarbon production from an unconventional subterranean formation

Disclosed are compositions and methods for the pressure protection of existing wells during infill drilling operations. The methods can include injecting a gas into the existing wellbore in fluid communication with an unconventional subterranean formation prior to and/or during fracturing of the new wellbore in fluid communication with the unconventional subterranean formation.

Methods for pressure protection using a gas

Disclosed are compositions and methods for the pressure protection of existing wells during infill drilling operations. The methods can include injecting a foamed pressure protection composition into the existing wellbore in fluid communication with an unconventional subterranean formation prior to and/or during fracturing of the new wellbore in fluid communication with the unconventional subterranean formation.
