Definitions

  • the present invention generally relates to downhole operations, and more particularly to methods of forming a polymeric precipitate in a subterranean formation to reduce the loss of fluid to the formation.
  • Natural resources such as oil or gas residing in a subterranean formation can be recovered via the formation of wells that penetrate the formation.
  • a wellbore is typically drilled down to the formation while circulating a drilling fluid (also known as a drilling mud) through the wellbore.
  • a drilling fluid also known as a drilling mud
  • the drilling fluid carries the drill cuttings in a return flow stream back to the well drilling platform.
  • a string of pipe e.g., casing
  • the drilling fluid is then usually circulated downwardly through the interior of the pipe and upwardly through the annulus, which is located between the exterior of the pipe and the walls of the well bore.
  • Primary cementing is then usually performed whereby a cement slurry is pumped down through the string of pipe and into the annulus between the string of pipe and the walls of the wellbore to allow the cement slurry to set into an impermeable cement column and thereby seal the annulus.
  • Secondary cementing operations i.e., cementing operations occurring after the primary cementing operation, may also be performed.
  • One example of a secondary cementing operation is squeeze cementing whereby a cement slurry is forced under pressure to areas of lost integrity in the annulus to seal off those areas.
  • the fluids used in such downhole operations may be lost to the subterranean formation while circulating the fluids in the wellbore.
  • the fluids may enter the subterranean formation via depleted zones, zones of relatively low pressure, naturally occurring fractures, weak zones having fracture gradients exceeded by the hydrostatic pressure of the drilling fluid, and so forth.
  • lost circulation may occur in which the circulation of the drilling fluid in the wellbore drops due to it being lost to the formation. Its circulation may eventually become too low to allow for further drilling of the wellbore.
  • a cement slurry may be lost to the formation as it is being placed in the annulus, thereby rendering it ineffective in isolating the adjacent subterranean formation.
  • the amount of cement slurry may be insufficient to fill the annulus from top to bottom during primary cementing or to fill areas of lost integrity in a pre-existing cement column during secondary cementing. Further, dehydration of the cement slurry may result, compromising the strength of the cement that forms in the annulus.
  • methods of treating a subterranean formation comprise contacting a polymeric solution and an activator in the subterranean formation, thereby forming a precipitate to at least partially block a flow of a wellbore servicing fluid further into the formation.
  • the wellbore servicing fluid may be, for example, a drilling fluid, a cement composition, a workover fluid, or combinations thereof.
  • the polymeric solution may comprise, for example, a poly vinyl pyrrolidone aqueous solution
  • the activator may comprise, for example, a formate brine.
  • the polymeric solution and the activator are contacted before completing a drilling operation in the wellbore.
  • they are contacted before completing a primary cementing operation in the wellbore.
  • they are contacted before completing a secondary cementing operation in the wellbore.
  • the precipitate may be easily and quickly removed from the subterranean formation by dissolving it in fresh water.
  • methods of treating a wellbore that penetrates a subterranean formation comprise: introducing an activator to the wellbore; introducing a polymeric solution in situ with the activator, thereby forming a hard precipitate to at least partially block a flow pathway into the subterranean formation; circulating a wellbore servicing fluid through the wellbore; and dissolving the precipitate to prepare for hydrocarbon production.
  • methods of drilling a wellbore at least partially through a subterranean formation comprise: introducing an activator to the wellbore; introducing a polymeric solution in situ with the activator, thereby forming a hard precipitate to at least partially block a flow pathway into the subterranean formation; and applying torque to a bit within the wellbore while applying force to urge the bit to extend through the wellbore; and circulating a drilling fluid past the bit to remove cuttings therefrom.
  • FIG. IA is a side plan view of a drilling rig and a wellbore in the earth for recovering oil from a subterranean formation.
  • FIG. IB is a detailed view of a section of the wellbore depicted in FIG. IA 5 showing a precipitate blocking a flow pathway into the subterranean formation.
  • a polymeric solution and an activator may be contacted in a subterranean formation in such a manner as to form a hard precipitate in the formation.
  • a "polymeric solution” is defined as a solution comprising a polymer, an oligomer, or combinations thereof.
  • an "activator” is defined as a material that, when present in a sufficient amount, can cause the polymer and/or oligomer to precipitate out of the solution, wherein the activator may be a liquid in which the polymer and/or oligomer is insoluble. It is understood that "subterranean formation” encompasses both areas below exposed earth or areas below earth covered by water such as sea or ocean water.
  • the resulting polymeric precipitate is typically impermeable to fluid and thus may form a barrier in the formation that at least partially blocks one or more flow pathways through which a fluid could undesirably migrate into the formation.
  • flow pathways include natural or induced fractures, depleted zones, zones of relatively low pressure, weak zones having fracture gradients exceeded by the hydrostatic pressure of the fluid being used to service the wellbore, perforations formed by a perforating gun, and combinations thereof.
  • FIGS. IA and IB illustrate how the precipitate forms a barrier to at least partially reduce the flow of fluid far into a subterranean formation.
  • FIG. IA depicts a wellbore 10 that has been drilled in the earth such that it penetrates a subterranean formation.
  • An oil rig 30 positioned near the surface of the earth 20 may be used to recover oil from the formation.
  • a pipe 40 e.g., a drill pipe or tubing, may extend down through wellbore 10 for delivering fluid to and/or from the wellbore.
  • FIG. IB illustrates a section 50 of wellbore 10 in detail.
  • a precipitate 60 forms a solid coating across a flow pathway 70 such as a crack within wellbore 10 and thereby seals flow pathway 70.
  • the coating may have a thickness ranging from about 1 millimeter to about 10 millimeters.
  • precipitate 60 may extend across flow pathway 70.
  • Precipitate 60 is desirably impermeable to fluid and thus inhibits fluid from passing through pathway 70 and deeper into the adjacent subterranean formation.
  • precipitate 60 serves to reduce the loss of such fluid to the formation, allowing it to be primarily retained within wellbore 10 as it is pumped therethrough.
  • the coating formed by the precipitate will be effective in cracks that are both larger and smaller than the coating thickness near the wall of the wellbore. That is, cracks within the subterranean formation usually decrease in size at greater depths within the formation. Thus, the polymer solution may be pumped into cracks larger than the ensuing coating thickness to a depth where the cracks become sufficiently narrow to allow the coating to plug the entire crack.
  • a spacer separates the polymeric solution and the activator as they are being pumped downhole.
  • spacer is defined as a fluid that prevents the polymeric solution and the activator from interacting with each other as they pass down the wellbore and that is inert with respect to the polymeric solution and the activator.
  • suitable fluids to use as spacers include natural hydrocarbons, synthetic hydrocarbons, surfactants, glycols, fresh water, and combinations thereof.
  • the amount of the spacer employed in this embodiment may range from about 1 to about 5 barrels or alternatively may be about 2 barrels.
  • the polymeric solution, the spacer, and the activator are sequentially pumped to the formation.
  • the activator is pumped first and the polymeric solution is pumped behind the spacer. Within the subterranean formation, the polymeric solution and the activator are no longer separated and thus contact each other, resulting in the formation of the precipitate.
  • the polymeric solution and the activator may be displaced into the wellbore before or during the circulation/squeezing of a wellbore servicing fluid in the wellbore. hi an embodiment, they may be pumped downhole after the discovery that at least a portion of the wellbore servicing fluid is being lost to the subterranean formation. At this point, the circulation/squeezing of the wellbore servicing fluid in the wellbore may be terminated to allow for the formation of the precipitate within the formation. Once the precipitate has been formed, the circulation/squeezing of the fluid in the wellbore may then be resumed. The formation of the precipitate may occur within 1 minute of the initial contact between the polymeric solution and the activator. However, typically one waits for a period of in a range of from about 30 minutes to about 4 hours before passing the wellbore servicing fluid into the wellbore again.
  • the precipitate may be used to reduce a pre-completion loss to a subterranean formation.
  • a "pre-completion loss" refers to a loss of fluid to a subterranean formation that occurs before the wellbore is completed, i.e., before the annulus of the wellbore has been sealed by a sealant composition, e.g., a cement composition.
  • the pre-completion loss is the loss of a drilling fluid during its circulation through a wellbore both during and after the drilling of the wellbore.
  • the pre- completion loss is the loss of a cement slurry (or other type of sealant composition) during primary cementing.
  • the precipitate may be used to prevent a post-completion loss to the subterranean formation.
  • a post-completion loss refers to a loss of fluid to a subterranean formation that occurs after the wellbore is completed, i.e., after the annulus of the wellbore has been sealed by a sealant composition, e.g., a cement composition.
  • the post-completion loss may be that of a secondary sealant composition such as a cement composition.
  • the secondary sealant composition may be placed in one or more permeable zones present in the wellbore using a squeeze technique known in the art.
  • the permeable zones may extend, for example, through the wall of a conduit positioned in the wellbore, a sealant/cement column in the annulus of the wellbore, a microannulus of the wellbore, or combinations thereof.
  • Examples of those permeable zones include a fissure, a crack, a fracture, a streak, a flow channel, a void, and combinations thereof.
  • the post-completion loss may be the loss of a fluid, e.g., a workover fluid, during a production enhancement operation, e.g., a workover operation.
  • the precipitate may be removed to prepare the formation for the production of oil, gas, and/or water. That is, the precipitate may be removed to prevent it from blocking the flow of such natural resources from the formation. It may also be removed to avoid contaminating any water produced by the formation.
  • the precipitate may be removed by dissolving it in a fluid in which it is soluble such as fresh water, thereby providing a simple and inexpensive way to eliminate the precipitate.
  • the precipitate may be removed by water that is initially produced by the formation, or alternatively, it may be removed by water that is intentionally pumped into the wellbore. Examples of compounds that may be employed to dissolve the precipitate include but are not limited to fresh water and brines such as halide brines, e.g., sodium chloride brine.
  • the methods described above for reducing the loss of a wellbore servicing fluid to the subterranean formation utilize a polymeric solution and an activator.

  • the amount of the polymer in the polymeric solution may be a range of from about 1% to about 90%, alternatively from about 5% to about 50 %, by weight of the polymeric solution.
  • Suitable activators include formate brines (e.g., potassium formate, sodium formate, and cesium formate), acetate brines (e.g., potassium acetate, sodium acetate, and cesium acetate), oxalate brines (e.g., potassium oxalate, sodium oxalate, and cesium oxalate), halide brines (e.g., zinc bromide), and combinations thereof.
  • the amount of the potassium formate in the activator may be in a range of from about 10% to about 78%, or alternatively from about 50% to about 78%, by weight of the total formate brine. Modifications to the Foregoing Embodiments
  • the activator may also serve as the solvent in which the polymer is dissolved.
  • the polymer may be coated with a material that prevents it from initially contacting the activator/solvent.
  • the polymer and the activator may be concurrently pumped downhole without forming a precipitate.
  • the coating may eventually dissolve such that the activator/solvent contacts the polymer and thus forms the precipitate.
  • the period of time required for the coating to completely dissolve may be sufficient to allow the polymer to be pumped into a crack or void in a subterranean formation. As a result, the formation of the precipitate is time delayed.

  • PVP solution a PERFORMATROL solution
  • 16 lbs/gal of barite weighting agent were added to each PERFORMATROL solution sample.
  • the PERFORMATROL solution samples remained pumpable after the addition of the barite weighting agent.
  • the precipitate withstood a 500 psi differential such that no mud could pass through the precipitate at this pressure.
  • the thickness of the seal was measured as 1/8 inch.
  • the precipitate was also heated on a hotplate to determine the temperatures at which it is stable. The precipitate exhibited no apparent decomposition at temperatures less than or equal to 250 0 F.
  • the precipitate can be dissolved relatively quickly with freshwater or sodium chloride brine. Further, it may also be removed at a relatively slow rate with calcium chloride brine or calcium bromide brine. It is desirably insoluble in the ACCOLADE drilling mud.
  • Example 1 The procedure followed in Example 1 was repeated with different activators. More specifically, the potassium formate brines were replaced with sodium formate brines, cesium formate brines, and zinc bromide brines. AU of those brines caused the PVP to precipitate out of solution.

Abstract

L'invention concerne des procédés permettant de réduire la perte d'un fluide d'entretien d'un puits de forage dans une formation souterraine. Une solution polymère et un activateur peuvent être mis en contact dans la formation, formant ainsi un précipité permettant de bloquer au moins partiellement l'écoulement ultérieur du fluide dans la formation. Le fluide peut être, par exemple, un fluide de forage, une composition de ciment, un fluide de reconditionnement ou des combinaisons de ceux-ci. La solution polymère peut comprendre une solution aqueuse de polyvinylpyrrolidone et l'activateur peut comprendre une saumure de formiate. Dans un mode de réalisation, la solution polymère et l'activateur sont mis en contact avant l'achèvement d'une opération de forage dans le puits de forage. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, ils sont mis en contact avant l'achèvement d'une opération de cimentatation principale dans le puits de forage. Encore dans un autre mode de réalisation, ils sont mis en contact avant l'achèvement d'une opération de cimentation secondaire dans le puits de forage. En fonction des besoins, le précipité peut être retiré facilement et rapidement de la formation souterraine par dissolution de celui-ci dans de l'eau douce.
