A gel material for oil and gas conformance control operations is provided. The gel material includes a plurality of gel material components including polyacrylamide, triamine silica, and nanosilica which are added in suitable amounts to form the gel material under a gel formation condition. The present technology replaces and/or supplements conventional crosslinkers and provides enhanced polymeric gels, such as, for oil and gas field applications including wellbore strengthening, loss circulation materials, and water shut-off applications, at high temperatures. The present technology is compatible with fresh and high salinity water.

Polymeric gels for oil and gas conformance control applications and methods of making same

A method for preparing PAM with the aluminum-based crosslinker is provided. The method includes diluting the PAM with deionized water; adding the crosslinker gradually while stirring at room temperature; sonicating in a water bath; adding HCl and KOH to adjust pH; and testing compatibility with salts.

Acid-tolerant aluminum-based gel formulation for conformance control and preparations and uses thereof

Provided herein are compositions and methods useful for the treatment of wastewater comprising colloidal impurities. In certain aspects and embodiments, the compositions and methods include a natural deep eutectic solvent (NADES) coagulant including a hydrogen bond acceptor and a hydrogen bond donor, wherein the NADES is a liquid at room temperature.

Destabilization and separation of high stable colloids

The current invention relates to fluids used in well-bore applications. Embodiments of the present invention encompass fluids including, but not limited to including, a combination of solids and liquid, where the solids include, but not limited to including, clay and industrial dust, such as, but not limited to, steel dust, and methods of making and using such fluids. The liquid may be a combination of two or more liquids. The clay may be a combination of two or more clays. The liquid may include water. A mixture of industrial dust from different sources may be used. In some embodiments, the industrial dust is steel dust including, but not limited to including, calcium oxide.
