... chemical flooding methods drilling fluid chemistry resin utilization divalent cation concentration contamination Introduction Because there is a limit to the de-oiling enhancement of mature oil fields achievable by conventional water flooding, OMV thoroughly investigated chemical enhanced oil...

... SCP. After some research, a specialized resin system was developed that could be deployed to prevent and eliminate the SCP in the situations mentioned above. This paper presents the lab testing and application of the innovative resin system. This system can be used as a standalone product and blended...

..., namely IGP, are normally a primary choice for completion; however, this method can be costly, which requires justification during challenging economic times. To combat these challenges, a sand consolidation system using resin was selected as a primary completion method, opposed to a conventional IGP...

... into immediate near wellbore area of the reservoir with the aim to improve the strength of the incompetent formation and thus reducing the tendency for sand production. In most cases, SCON treatment consists of injecting fluid containing adhesive or resin for binding the sand grains while the main mechanism...

... was 30.3 to 37.7 Klbs (34.4 Klbs average) with a resin concentration of 3.75 gal per 1,000 lbm of ceramic proppant. The pumping rate was 12 to 16 bbl/min with surface pumping pressure of 500 to 1,000 psi. The wells were shut-in for 1 – 2 days to let the gel break and to let the resin cure. Before...

... remediation to restart production. Instead of a conventional casing patch approach to repair casing leakage, an innovative solution using an epoxy resin system was applied to recover wellbore integrity and return the well to production. In addition, the resin system does not create casing diameter reduction...

... Abstract This article presents a novel organic-inorganic crosslinked polymer gel, which uses resin-silicate as the organic-inorganic crosslinker, to extend the temperature limitations of currently used polymer gels for water control in mature oilfields. The gelation performances, including...

... setup was prepared with neat standard cement slurry and cured for 3and 7days for testing. Three different types of casing coating wereevaluated for enhancing shear-bond strength—inorganic-based, aqueous polymer emulsion, and thermosetting resin. All three coatings providedenhanced shear-bond strength...

... oil emulsion collected data. The results indicate that there are four oil wells of a different physical property could be very helpful for our study. Such properties include emulsion viscosity, size of water droplets, surface active materials, resin to asphaltene ratio (R/As), emulsion temperature...

... utilizing screen technology to keep the sand in the formation. However, all those methods are still not considered to be an effective solution to get a long lasting permanent result. By utilizing the furan resin as a sand consolidation treatment chemical, emphasis is given to solve the sand issues from...

... the various organic fractions of the solid sample collected from the production facilities. This paper explains how SARA analysis was modified to detect not only Macro-crystalline waxes (Saturates), asphaltene, aromatics and resins but also micro-crystalline wax and naphthenates. The content of each of above...

... Previous resins that have been utilized and reported extensively in the literature include epoxy derivatives [ Brooks 1974 ] and furan-resin systems [ Fader 1992 ]. Earlier resins were externally catalyzed, involving first injecting a solution of resin precursors followed by an overflush which...

... which the proppant is being produced, isolate the zone (or zones), and pump a remedial proppant flowback-control treatment. Two types of proppant-consolidation remedial-treatment fluids have been successfully used—one is the low-viscosity, solvent-based curable resin, and the other is a new, water-based...

...Resin Pre-coated Proppants Surface modification agents (SMAs) are water- and oil-insoluble, resinous materials that provide cohesiveness between proppant grains and do not harden or cure under reservoir conditions. When these liquid additives are applied to proppant during a fracturing...

.... The loss of proppant from the fractures limits the flow-channel conductivity, choking the production potential of the well and impairing the effectiveness of the fracture treatment. Resin-coated sands, oriented perforating, tip screen-out designs, and screens are just some of the technologies that have...
