20100314117 | ASPHALTENE REMOVAL COMPOSITION AND METHODS - This invention relates to compositions and methods of removing an organic deposit including introducing a fluid, wherein the fluid comprises at least two non-polar organic solvents and at least two polar organic solvents; allowing the fluid to dissolve at least a portion of the organic deposit; and removing at least a portion of the fluid. This invention relates to compositions and methods of removing an organic deposit including introducing a fluid, wherein the fluid comprises at least two non-polar organic solvents and at least two polar organic solvents, wherein the non-polar organic solvents comprise aromatic naphtha, terpenes, kerosene, and combination thereof, and wherein the polar solvents comprise heavy aromatic naphtha, cyclohexanone, N-2-methyl pyrrolidone, N-ethyl-2-pyrrolidone, and combination thereof, allowing the fluid to dissolve at least a portion of the organic deposit, and removing at least a portion of the fluid. | 12-16-2010 |
20120125618 | METHOD FOR HYDRAULIC FRACTURING OF SUBTERRANEAN FORMATION - The invention provides economically effective methods for hydraulic fracturing a subterranean formation that ensure improvement of the hydraulic fracture conductivity because of forming strong proppant clusters uniformly placed in the fracture throughout its length. One of these methods comprises: a first stage comprising injection of fracturing fluid into a borehole, the fluid containing thickeners to create a fracture in the formation; and a second stage comprising introduction of proppant into the injected fracturing fluid to prevent closure of the created fracture, and further, comprising introducing an agent into the fracturing fluid to provide formation of proppant clusters in the created fracture and channels for flowing formation fluids. | 05-24-2012 |

Also disclosed are methods, fluids, equipment and/or systems for treating a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore, relating to a stabilized treatment slurry. | 06-05-2014 |
20150060063 | Well Treatment - Using in situ channelization treatment fluids in multistage well treatment is disclosed. Also disclosed are methods, fluids, equipment and/or systems for treating a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore, relating to in situ channelization treatment fluids. | 03-05-2015 |
20150060064 | WELL TREATMENT WITH UNTETHERED AND/OR AUTONOMOUS DEVICE - Well treatment with an untethered and/or autonomous device. In situ channelization treatment fluids used in multistage well treatment with an untethered and/or autonomous device is also disclosed. Also disclosed are methods and/or systems for treating a subterranean formation penetrated by a wellbore, relating to in situ channelization treatment fluids, which may optionally be energized, and untethered and/or autonomous devices. | 03-05-2015 |
20150253234 | CHARACTERIZATION METHODS - A method for determining characteristics of a mesoporous material using a desiccation or hydration test is disclosed. The test may involve using a test fluid and exposing sample of a core to a controlled environment, then weighing the samples. The samples may be core samples, comminuted samples, or cuttings. Utilizing the determined characteristics, properties of the mesoporous material, such as porosities, absolute permeabilities and relative permeabilities may be determined. | 09-10-2015 |
