Abstract

A method of converting a completed well into a dual completed well that includes selectively pumping a water-based fluid into a first production zone of the completed well, wherein the water-based fluid has a pH of greater than about 5; allowing the water-based fluid to form a continuous, non-flowing water-based gel in the first production zone of the completed well, wherein the water-based gel has a pH of greater than about 5; disposing a layer of cement into the completed well above the water-based gel; perforating a second production zone of the completed well in a location above the layer of cement; drilling through the layer of cement; and breaking the water-based gel located in the first production zone of the completed well, wherein the breaking comprises: exposing the water-based gel to a breaker fluid, wherein the breaker fluid has a pH of greater than about 5 is disclosed.
