Definitions
- the Invention relates to novel fluids and techniques to optimize/enhance the production of hydrocarbon from subterranean formations, in particular, fluids and techniques are disclosed and claimed which remove wellbore and near-wellbore formation damage in the form of coating formed from drilling and production-related operations; the techniques can be applied either by themselves or in conjunction with other completion operations, such as gravel packing.
- the present Invention relates to novel fluids and techni ⁇ ues to optimize/enhance the production of hydrocarbons from subterranean formations.
- hydrocarbons e.g., oil, natural gas
- To recover hydrocarbons it is of course necessary to drill a hole in the subsurface to contact the hydrocarbon- bearing formation. This way, hydrocarbons can flow from the formation, into the wellbore and to the surface.
- Recovery of hydrocarbons from a subterranean formation is known as "production.”
- One key parameter that influences the rate of production is the permeability of the formation along the flowpath that the hydrocarbon must travel to reach the wellbore. Sometimes, the formation rock has a naturally low permeability, other times, the permeability is reduced during, for instance, drilling the well.
- a fluid is circulated into the hole to contact the region of the drill bit, for a number of reasons—including, to cool the drill bit, to carry the rock cuttings away from the point of drilling, and to maintain a hydrostatic pressure on the formation wall to prevent production during drilling.
- Drilling fluid is expensive particularly in light of the enormous quantities that must be used during drilling. Additionally, drilling fluid can be lost by leaking off into the formation. To prevent this, the drilling fluid is often intentionally modified so that a small amount leaks off and forms a coating on the wellbore, or a "filtercake.”
- this coating or filtercake must be removed.
- the present fluids and techniques are directed to removing this filtercake or other such damage in the wellbore and near-wellbore region, that results either intentionally (in the case of drilling fluid) or unintentionally (in the case of scale deposits from produced water or dewatered fluids from workover/stimulation operations performed on the well).
- Conventional treatments for removing filtercake include: aqueous solution with an oxidizer (such as persulf te), hydrochloric acid solution, organic (acetic, formic) acid, combination of acid and oxidizer, and aqueous solutions containing enzymes.
- an oxidizer such as persulf te
- hydrochloric acid solution such as persulf te
- organic (acetic, formic) acid such as aqueous solutions containing enzymes.
- aqueous solutions containing enzymes for instance, the use of enzymes to remove filtercake is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,169,818, Mixture of Hydroxypropylcellulose and PolyfMaleic Anhydride/ / Alky I Vinyl Ether) as a Hydrocolloid Gelling Agent (1979) (col. 1, In. 42); U.S. Pat. No. 3,515,667, Drilling Fluid Additive (1970); U.S. Pat. No.
- Chelating agents e.g., EDTA are also used to promote the dissolution of calcium carbonate. See, CN. Fredd and H.S. Fogler, Chelating Agents as Effective Matrix Stimulation Fluids for Carbonate Formations, SPE 372212 (1997); CN. Fredd and H.S. Fogler, Alternative Stimulation Fluids and Their Impact on Carbonate Acidizing, SPE 31074 (1996), both articles are hereby incorporated by reference in their entirety.
- the oxidizer and enzyme attack the polymer fraction of the filtercake; the acids mainly attack the carbonate fraction (and other minerals).
- oxidizers and enzymes are ineffective in degrading the carbonate fraction; likewise, acids have very little effect on polymer.
- numerous problems plague conventional techniques of filtercake removal. Perhaps the most troublesome is the issue of "placement.”
- one common component in filtercake is calcium carbonate.
- the substance of choice to remove calcium carbonate is hydrochloric acid .
- Hydrochloric acid reacts very quickly with calcium carbonate. What happens then, is that the filtercake begins to dissolve, therefore dramatically increasing the permeability of the wellbore face, so that the wellbore region is no longer “sealed off” from the formation. Once this happens, the entire clean-up fluid may then leak off into the formation through this zone of increased permeability ("thief zones,” or discrete zones within the interval of very high permeability where more filtercake dissolution has occurred than at other places along the interval).
- a second problem with removal of filtercake is that it is comprised of several substances, and which are, as mentioned earlier, not generally removable with a single substance.
- Calcium carbonate and organic polymers e.g., starch and other polysaccharide
- Treating these successively i.e., with two different fluids, one after the other— is problematic since, it requires at least two separate treatments.
- Combining two different breakers (one for the polymer fraction, one for calcite) is problematic since each has a distinct activity profile (or optimal window of activity, based on temperature, pH, etc.) and the activity profiles of two different breakers may not coincide. This is particularly likely if one of the breakers is an enzyme, which are notoriously temperature and pH sensitive.
- the ideal fluid must be easy to "spot" or place in wellbore over the entire length of the desired zone, contiguous with the producing zone (e.g., a two thousand foot horizontal zone)— before any filtercake dissolution occurs. If the fluid begins to dissolve the filtercake too quickly, then the fluid will be lost through the thief zones and the entire fluid treatment will be destroyed. In other words, a hypothetical ideal fluid would be completely unreactive for a period of time to enable it to be spotted along the entire length of the producing interval, then, once in place, react sufficiently slowly and uniformly, so that no thief zones are. Again, if thief zones form, then the entire mass of fluid can leak off through that zone. Hence, reasonably uniform/controlled dissolution is necessary to ensure that the fluid remains in contact with the filtercake along the entire interval until near-complete dissolution of the filtercake has occured along the entire interval.
- filtercake is an expensive and time-consuming procedure. Therefore, it is desirable to do this at the same time that another treatment is being performed, if possible. For instance, if a material must be delivered to one portion of the formation into the wellbore (e.g., in conjunction with a remedial treatment), then the fluid used to carry that material can be an acid solution which will also dissolve portions of the filtercake. Again, if the carrier fluid leaks off into the formation through a thief zone, then the remedial operation is completely destroyed.
- Gravel pack operations are performed to prevent the production of sand along with hydrocarbon, which often occurs in formations of weakly consolidated sands.
- a filter or screen can be placed around the portion of the wellbore in which production occurs.
- a more long-term solution for sand control is achieved if the region between the screen and the formation is filled with gravel, which is properly sized to prevent the sand from moving through the gravel and into the wellbore— to function as a filter— so that when the sand tries to move through the gravel, it is filtered and held by the gravel or screen, but hydrocarbon continues to flow unhindered (by either the gravel or screen) into the wellbore.
- the fluid used to deliver the gravel could also be used to dissolve the filtercake, which would eliminate the need for a separate treatment just to dissolve the filtercake. This would result in substantial cost savings— both because a separate treatment is costly, and because it take additional time to perform such a treatment.
- the need for filtercake clean-up is particularly acute in gravel pack completions— i.e., wells in which the movement of sand along with the hydrocarbon is prevented by a gravel pack/screen combination— because, the entrapment of the filter-cake between the formation and screens or gravel can result in substantial reduction in production.
- the need for a reliable filtercake clean-up treatment with a good diversion mechanism is also particularly acute in horizontal, or highly deviated wells. In these cases, the producing interval may be several thousand feet, compared with a vertical well, which may have a producing zone of about 30 feet.
- the present Invention relates to fluids intend to break filtercake (whether produced from drilling, production, completion, workover, or stimulation activity, either produced intentionally or unintentionally.
- the fluids and techniques are directed to degrading (or "breaking") filtercake formed from starch/carbonate- containing drilling fluid such as the STARDRIL TM (a drill-in fluid manufactured and sold by Schlumberger).
- the fluids of the present Invention are operable in conjunction with a gravel pack operation, and in particular, though not exclusively, to break filtercake, in conjunction with a gravel pack operation.
- one object of the present Invention is to provide novel completion fluids to break filtercake, either alone or in conjunction with other workover/completion/stimulation treatments, but in particular, gravel pack operations.
- Preferred embodiments relate to fluids to break filtercake having substantial calcite and starch content.
- Particularly preferred embodiments related to treatment fluids having two essential components: a chelating agent and an enzyme. These components were selected based on their ability to dissolve different components of the filtercake, and based on their ability to dissolve these components at particular rates relative to one another.
- Other particularly preferred embodiments are fluids having these two components in a VES (viscoelastic surfactant) system. VES systems have numerous advantages- discussed at length in U.S.
- VES systems create very low friction pressures compared with conventional carrier fluids, and therefore they are particularly preferred, for instance, in gravel pack operations of the present Invention.
- the fluids of the present Invention can be successfully spotted or placed over, for instance, a 2000 ft. horizontal producing zone— without substantial leakoff.
- Particularly preferred embodiments to achieve this incorporate Mobil's A11PACTM (licensed exclusively to Schlumberger). This way, the gravel pack operation, for instance, can take place without fluid loss.
- the fluid of the present Invention acts slowly upon the filtercake, to slowly but steadily dissolve it, but not before the particular workover operation has been completed.
- the break time (or time to substantial dissolution of the filtercake) of the fluids of the present Invention are optimized so that the overall or blended dissolution rate is very slow at low temperatures but much higher at high temperatures.
- the primary advantage of this unique temperature-dependence is that fluid can be introduced into the entire zone of interest before filtercake dissolution occurs, then as the fluid temperature rises due to contact with the wellbore, only then does dissolution occur.
- the fluids and techniques of the present Invention are quite general and are operable in a variety of settings. These include, but are not limited to, screen-only completions and gravel pack completions; open hole and cased hole; vertical and highly deviated wells; single-application soak or circulating fluid in which the treatment fluid (of the present Invention) also serves as a carrier fluid for, e.g., a gravel pack operation; in conjunction with a gelling agent or viscoelastic surfactant (e.g., ClearFRACTM) or alone, and with a variety of clean-up tools.
- a gelling agent or viscoelastic surfactant e.g., ClearFRACTM
- the fluids and techniques of the present Invention are readily applicable to any scenario in which it is desirable to remove filtercake from the wellbore or near-wellbore region in the formation, regardless of whether the filtercake was produced during drilling or during other post-drilling operations (e.g., fluid-loss control pill, gravel pack operation, fracturing, matrix acidizing, and so forth).
- fluid-loss control pill e.g., fluid-loss control pill, gravel pack operation, fracturing, matrix acidizing, and so forth.
- the fluids of the present Invention are a viable, cost-effective replacement for HCl-based fluids, conventional fluids of choice to remove filtercake.
- HCl systems aside from their ineffectiveness in removing the carbonate fraction of filtercake
- corrosion corrosion of the above-ground storage tanks, pumps, down- hole tubulars used to place the fluid, and wellbore casings.
- a cost-effective solution to corrosion is not readily available, as evidenced by the fact that corrosion inhibitors is a significant portion of the total expense of a filtercake remove (or matrix-acidizing) treatment.
- the fluids of the present Invention (those that do not contain acid) the problem of corrosion is drastically minimized. Additionally, personnel safety and environmental concerns are significantly reduced with the fluids of the present Invention.
- Figure 1 shows change in viscosity of various VES solutions at 100 sec "1 after 101 minutes at 180° F, upon addition of K 2 -EDTA, ⁇ -amylase, ammonium persulfate — either separately or in combination.
- Figure 2 shows the effect of various combinations of ⁇ -amylase and K2- EDTA on VES (5% by volume) rheology: 3% NH 4 C1 and 28% K 2 -EDTA
- VES solution does not significantly affect VES-solution viscosity at 100 sec "1 , yet if ⁇ -amylase is added to a VES solution to which 28% K 2 -EDTA and KCl are also added, then viscosity is significantly reduced— though not if NH 4 CI is used instead of KCl.
- Figure 3 shows the effect of VES (5%) on the cake-breaking activity of both enzyme and conventional oxidizer breakers. The white bars represent (from left to right): (1) no VES, 0.5% ⁇ -amylase, 4% KCl; (2) no VES, 1% ammonium persulfate, 4% KCl.
- the black bars represent: (1) no VES, 0.5% ⁇ -amylase, 4% KCl, (2) VES, 4% KCl; (3) VES 1% ammonium persulfate; (4) VES, 1% ammonium persulfate, 0.1% triethanolamine, 4% KCl.
- the gray bars represent: (1) VES, 0.5% ⁇ -amylase, 28% K2-EDTA, 4% KCl; (2) VES, 28% K 2 -EDTA, 4% KCl; (3) VES, 1% ammonium persulfate, 28% K2-EDTA, 4% KCl; (4) VES, 5% (low temperature- optimized) ammonium persulfate, 28% K 2 -EDTA, 4%; (5) VES, 5% encapsulated ammonium persulfate, 28% K 2 -EDTA, 4% KCl. All assays were conducted at 150° F. These data show that VES impairs but does not entirely destroy cake-breaking activity.
- Figure 4 shows the effect of VES (5%) on two breaker types ( ⁇ -amylase and ammonium persulfate), (1) 1% ammonium persulfate, no VES (thin gray line); 1% ammonium persulfate, VES (think black line); (2) 0.5% ⁇ - amylase, no VES (thick gray line), 0.5% ⁇ -amylase, VES (thick black line).
- Figure 5 shows the effect of VES on K 2 -EDTA cake-breaking activity, 5% VES, 28% K2-EDTA (light gray line), 5% VES, no K 2 -EDTA (dark gray line), no VES, 28% K 2 -EDTA (black line).
- Figure 6 shows the rheology (shear rate versus viscosity) of two different types of VES systems (VES and VESj), a 28% K 2 -EDTA/0.5% ⁇ -amylase system in 5% VES at 125 °F (light triangles) compared with similar systems, no ⁇ -amylase (crosses), 1.5% VES at 75 °F (plus K 2 -EDTA/ ⁇ - amylase) (dark triangles), 5% VES t at 140 °F (diamonds).
- Figure 7 is identical to Figure 6 expect that the system was tested at 200° F instead of 125 °F. These data show no significant difference in activity of the systems under study at 125 versus 200° F.
- Figure 8 shows the viscosity (at 170 s "1 ) of a 3% VES solution at 80° F as a function of HCl concentration.
- Figure 9 compares the effect of ⁇ -amylase and ammonium persulfate in 5% VES/28% K 2 -EDTA solutions, 0.5% ⁇ -amylase (black line with crosses), no polymer break (gray line), 1% ammonium persulfate (black line). These data show the superior activity of ⁇ -amylase over ammonium persulfate in a VES/K 2 -EDTA system.
- Figure 10 compares the effect of different salts on the rheology of a 5% VES + 27.3% KrEDTA system: 4% potassium chloride (no K 2 -EDTA) (crosses); 3% ammonium chloride (circles) (no K 2 -EDTA); 4% potassium chloride (vertical lines); 3% ammonium chloride (flat boxes). These data show that K 2 -EDTA does not substantially affect the viscosity of the 5% VES system.
- Figure 11 shows a comparison of break times (filtercake degradation) for three different systems: 15% HCl (diamonds), 9% formic acid (squares), and 28 % K 2 -EDTA. These data show that the HCl system breaks the filtercake more rapidly that the other two systems.
- Figure 12 shows the effect of ⁇ -amylase on a K 2 -EDTA/VES system on the system's cake-breaking activity.
- the systems shown are control/blank (diamonds), K 2 -EDTA/VES only (squares), and K 2 -EDTA/VES with ⁇ - amylase.
- Figure 13 shows a comparison of two systems with respect to their capacity to break filtercake.
- the two systems are K 2 -EDTA only (diamonds) and K 2 -EDTA, and ⁇ -amylase (squares). These data show that more complete break occurs with the K 2 -EDTA/ ⁇ -amylase system (after approximately 500 minutes).
- Figure 14 compares retained permeability for a 5% VES system in 3% NH 4 C1 (2 hrs., 300 psi, 150 °F) upon addition of various breakers, from left to right: nothing, VES only, 28% K 2 -EDTA only; 14% K 2 -EDTA; 28%; 28% K 2 -EDTA at pH 5.5; 28% K 2 -EDTA + 0.5 ⁇ -amylase; and 0.5% ⁇ -amylase. These data show that the K 2 -EDTA + ⁇ -amylase system gives superior retained permeability.
- the center of gravity is a set of fluid compositions and techniques for removing de-watered drilling fluid (i.e., "filtercake”).
- fluids which perform this function are referred to as “completion fluids.”
- the common denominator of preferred embodiments (completion fluids) of the present Invention is they are specifically, though not exclusively, optimized to degrade/remove drilling filtercake produced from a certain kind of drilling fluid— a drill-in fluid system, known by the trademark, STARDRILLTM.
- Primary components of STARDRILL are calcite, starch, and lesser concentrations of either xanthan or scleroglucan.
- the fluids of the present Invention were designed based on numerous criteria, two primary criteria are: (1) rheology, i.e., ensuring that the fluid rheology at bottom hole circulating temperature fell with acceptable limits (e.g., sufficient viscosity to deliver gravel) over a wide shear rate range; and (2) clean-up, i.e., ensuring that the formulations were effective at removing filtercake while minimizing damage to the formation and not unduly interfering with a contemporaneous completion (e.g., gravel pack).
- acceptable limits e.g., sufficient viscosity to deliver gravel
- any system design that combines an enzyme and other breakers must account for the variable activity windows of the different breakers, particularly since some enzymes are highly pH and temperature sensitive.
- VES viscoelastic surfactant
- VES Methods of Fracturing Subterranean Formations, assigned to Schlumberger Technology Corporation, filed 5 October 1998.
- the VES system most often used is N- cts-13-docosenoic-A r , ,- 7ts(2-hydroxymethyl)-7V-methyl ammonium chloride (a.k.a. -emcyl- ⁇ zs ⁇ -hydroxyethy ⁇ - -methyl ammonium chloride).
- the actual VES system used in the Examples contains 25% zso-propanol to enhance VES stability at low temperatures.
- VES l3 a second VES system is used, referred to as VES l3 and which consists of glyceryl esters of three different fatty acids, 23.5% erucyl (C 22 with one double bond), 32% oleic (C lg with one double bond) and 44.5% linoleic (C 18 with three double bonds separated by methylene groups) acids.
- VES systems referenced above are fully compatible with seawater in addition to ordinary tap water.
- VES subsumes VES systems prepared from seawater in addition to freshwater. VES systems prepared from seawater are disclosed and claimed in U.S. Pat. Appl. Ser. No.
- the kerosene is poured off, then 125 ml of STARDRILL drilling fluid was applied to the core under a pressure of 300 psi for about one hour.
- the goal is simulate overbalanced conditions within a typical wellbore; hence, the STARDRILL fluid was "forced” into the core to mimic leakoff.
- the excess STARDRILL was poured off, and the core was rinsed with brine.
- the STARDRILL filtercake-coated core was contacted with a series of "clean-up" solutions— 100 ml, at 300 psi for 2 hours (to simulate, e.g., a typical gravel pack operation).
- each clean-up solution consisted of a matrix of 5% VES in 3% NH 4 Cl.
- These solutions are (from left to right in Figure 14): "backflow" (to simulate allowing the well to produce without any cleanup) "blank” (VES only), 28% K 2 -EDTA; 14% K 2 -EDTA; 28% K 2 -EDTA at pH5.5; 28% K 2 -EDTA + 0.5% ⁇ -amylase; and 0.5% ⁇ -amylase.
- the amount of clean-up solution contacted with the sandstone core was 100 ml. After two hours, the leak-off volumes were observed; the retained permeability to kerosene was measured at the test temperature.
- Addition of filtercake-breakers may affect this micellar structure, and hence also the the rheological behavior of the VES solutions. This can occur either through reaction of the additive with the VES-surfactant molecule or by interaction of the additive VES with the ClearFracTM micellar structure.
- FIG. 1 is an overview of the viscosities measured for 5% VES-solutions with various additives. The values correspond to 100 s "1 after shearing the sample at 100 s "1 for 101 minutes. This viscosity is calculated from the API-ramps that were taken at that point. These data show for instance that VES viscosity (and probably the microscopic micellar structure) are not significantly affected by the addition of either EDTA or ⁇ -amylase, or by the addition of the two breakers together.
- Figure 2 reports related data. There, the effect of the addition of starch-breaking enzyme ⁇ -amylase on VES rheology is shown.
- FIG. 6 shows the effect on the rheology of VES systems to which 28% K 2 -EDTA and 4% KCl are added (at 125° F if not specified). These data show that the rheology of VES is not significantly affected by the addition of either K 2 -EDTA or ⁇ -amylase, or both.
- Figure 7 presents similar data though at higher temperature. In addition what these two Figures also show is that both 5% VES (short-chain) VES at 140° F and 1.5% (long-chain) VES at 75 ° F are competent gravel pack carrier fluids. Hence, in accordance with the present Invention, it is now possible to formulate gravel pack carrier fluids containing filter cake breakers for 125 and 150° F, that have similar rheology.
- Figure 8 shows the effect of varying HCl concentration on the viscosity of a 3% VES system at 80° F. As evidenced by these data, viscosity is barely affected from about 5% HCl to about 15% HCl, after which viscosity falls off significantly.
- Figure 10 compares the effect of different salts (sodium salicylate, KCl, and NH 4 C1) on the rheology of a 5% VES system.
- completion fluids having both ⁇ -amylase and EDTA with or without VES. Yet if VES is used as the matrix, then the preferred salt is NH 4 C1 at about 3%.
- one particular preferred completion fluid of the present Invention contains: 5% VES, 0.5% ⁇ -amylase, and 28%' K 2 -EDTA, in a 4% NH 4 Cl solution.
- Another particular preferred fluid is: , 0.5% ⁇ -amylase, and 28% K 2 -EDTA, in a 4% salt solution (the salt type is less critical if VES is not used).
- the combination of chelating agent and enzyme operate in synergy to break filer cake comprised of starch and calcite.
- the starch polymer and the calcite are arranged in a complex configuration, e.g., the polymer coating the calcite particles.
- a breaker that acts primarily upon the polymer e.g., an enzyme
- a breaker that acts primarily upon the calcite particles will have difficulty reaching them due to the polymer coating— hence the observed synergistic activity of the enzyme + chelating agent combination fluid.
- an ideal completion fluid is that it degrade the filtercake to the greatest extent possible while at the same time ensuring a high retained permeability.
- a completion fluid that resulted in maximum filtercake degradation but that left filtercake particles embedded in the wellbore, is ineffective, since retained permeability will be low. Therefore, the degradation must be even and complete— i.e., result in small particles that cannot plug the wellbore, but that can be removed in a circulating wash or can be produced with the hydrocarbon.
- VES systems are stable — i.e., their viscosity is not substantially affected in the presence of the breakers of the present Invention (e.g., HCl, formic and acetic acid, enzymes, and chelating agents).
- breakers of the present Invention e.g., HCl, formic and acetic acid, enzymes, and chelating agents.
- This Example demonstrates that the VES matrix does not substantially affect the activity of the breakers— i.e., with respect to breaking filtercake.
- FIG. 3 shows the effect of VES (5%) on the activity of both enzyme ( ⁇ -amylase) and conventional oxidizer breakers (ammonium persulfate, dissolved and encapsulated). These data show that VES inhibits the activity of breakers of proven efficacy.
- FIG. 4 shows that VES actually increases the activity of ⁇ -amylase over approximately the first 65 minutes of the test.
- Figure 5 shows the results of an K 2 -EDTA system (in the presence of 5% VES and without). These results show that VES does have a substantial effect on EDTA activity.
- This Example The purpose of this Example is to demonstrate that certain formulations of the present Invention exhibit superior filtercake removal — compared with conventional systems.
- the experimental protocol in this Example was carefully designed to simulate, as closely as possible, actual conditions in an exemplary water-wet, oil-saturated, sandstone reservoir.
- Figure 11 presents data that compares the activity (break times) of 15% HCl, formic acid, and 28% K 2 -EDTA in 5% VES, as a function of temperature. As evidenced by Figure 11, the EDTA system outperforms the acid systems by a substantial margin, particularly at lower temperatures.
- Figures 12 and 13 compare the activity of an EDTA system versus an EDTA/ ⁇ -amylase system, in VES ( Figure 12) and without VES ( Figure 13).
- a comparison of the two Figures shows that the EDTA-only system is actually enhanced in the presence of VES, though this effect is unobservable prior to about 90 minutes.
- Figure 12 corroborates earlier data showing the superior performance of the chelating agent/enzyme system compared with chelating agent by itself.
- Figure 12 also shows that this effect is very rapid— less than one minute).
- chelating agents other than EDTA are operable in fluid compositions of the present Invention.
- the relevant parameters for selection of the fluid are the calcite (or other mineral) dissolution constant (a thermodynamic parameter), the proton dissociation constants (also thermodynamic parameters), and kinetic parameters.
- the skilled treatment designer can infer the behavior of other chelating agents by comparing those parameters for EDTA with those for the chelating agent under consideration.
- a systematic study of the kinetics of calcite dissolution by various chelating agents (including EDTA, DTPA, and CDTA) is presented in CN. Fredd and H.S. Fogler, The Influence of Chelating Agents on the Kinetics of Calcite Dissolution 204 J. Colliod Interface Sci. 187 (1998). This article is incorporated by reference in its entirety.
- Example 4 Specialized Applications
- the fluids and techniques of the present Invention are quite general and are operable in a variety of settings. Since the problem of placement and uniform dissolution are present in virtually every instance, the fluids and techniques of the present Invention are readily applicable to any scenario in which it is desirable to remove filtercake from the wellbore or near-wellbore region in the formation, regardless of whether the filtercake was produced during drilling or during other post-drilling operations (e.g., fluid-loss control pill, gravel pack operation, fracturing, matrix acidizing, and so forth).
- the fluids and techniques of the present Invention are applicable in numerous different environments, including:
- AllPAC screen is comprised of shunt tubes which permit the easy flow of viscous fluid through the screen annulus to its intended situs.
- the ALLPAC technology incorporates a novel gravel pack screen device which contains "shunt-tubes" or alternate flow paths, attached to the sides of the screen. These shunt tubes permit effective gravel packing by eliminating bridging (or more precisely, by letting the fluid flow around a bridged zone), thus even long horizontal sections can be gravel packed even with high fluid loss. Therefore, when the fluids of the present Invention are used in conjunction with the ALLPAC technology, a novel method is enabled. In this method, the filtercake is readily cleaned up during the gravel pack operation since fluid loss (leak-off) will not substantially interfere with the quality of the gravel pack. Thus rig time is substantially reduced by combining filtercake removal with gravel pack treatment.
