Definitions
- the invention relates to fluid loss additives for use in oilfield applications for subterranean formations. More particularly, the invention relates to filter cakes, particularly to easily destroyable filter cakes formed from polymeric microspheres.
- Fractures in oilfield reservoirs typically have the highest flow capacity of any portion of the reservoir formation.
- the high flow capacity results from the fracture being open and the closure stress being low.
- the high flow capacity results from the fracture being propped with a permeable bed of material or etched along the fracture face with acid or other material that has dissolved part of the formation. Normally, such high flow capacity is desirable.
- the invention provides a method of plugging a fracture in a formation by placing into the fracture a composition comprising microspheres or microbeads, wherein the microspheres are created by surface crosslinking of droplets in a water-in-water emulsion.
- the invention provides in one aspect, a method of forming filter cakes from crosslinked microspheres, wherein the microspheres are created by surface crosslinking of droplets in a water-in-water emulsion.
- the invention provides a method of treatment of a subterranean formation wherein the treatment fluid comprises microspheres, wherein the microspheres are formed by surface crosslinking of droplets in a water-in-water emulsion.
- the microspheres release at least one chemical agent when dissolved.
- the microspheres are formed from a crosslinked polysaccharide polymer.
- microspheres are alginate.
- microsphere the terms "microsphere”, “microbead” and “microparticle” are used interchangeably for microscopic particles, which may contain an interior void.
- Figure 1 is a picture of crosslinked guar microbeads made by a water-in- water emulsion process.
- Figure 2 is a graph of cumulative mass versus time to demonstrate fluid loss measurement for crosslinked guar microbeads.
- Figure 3 is a photograph of crosslinked guar microbeads containing 8 micron particles of polyglycolic acid.
- composition can also comprise some components other than the ones already cited.
- each numerical value should be read once as modified by the term “about” (unless already expressly so modified), and then read again as not so modified unless otherwise indicated in context.
- a concentration range listed or described as being useful, suitable, or the like is intended that any and every concentration within the range, including the end points, is to be considered as having been stated. For example, "a range of from 1 to 10" is to be read as indicating each and every possible number along the continuum between about 1 and about 10.
- Microspheres useful in fluids of the invention are formed from a low viscosity, concentrated polymer solution for rapidly making gelled fluids at the wellsite with minimal equipment and horsepower.
- aqueous medium When two or more different water soluble polymers are dissolved together in an aqueous medium, it is sometimes observed that the system phase separates into distinct regions. For example, this happens when two polymers are chosen that are each water-soluble but thermodynamically incompatible with each other.
- Such two-phase systems are referred to as "water-in-water emulsions" in some literature, and ATPS (Aqueous Two Phase Systems) in other literature.
- ATPS Aqueous Two Phase Systems
- emulsions do not necessarily contain either oil or surfactant.
- oil or surfactant In the bio-medical industry, such systems are exploited as separation media for proteins, enzymes, and other macromolecules that preferentially partition to one polymer phase in the mixture.
- Microspheres of the invention once formed, may be added to various fluid compositions, to form treatment fluids for subterranean formations.
- Such fluids may be aqueous or non-aqueous, and should be selected based on the treatment desired and on the specific polymer(s) used in formation of the microspheres.
- the microspheres in the fluid of the invention may, when included at a higher concentrations, form a filter cake in the formation which is easily destroyable when no longer needed.
- microspheres useful in methods of the invention may be formed of crosslinkable polymers such as polysaccharides, guars, alginates, and the like.
- At least a portion of the microspheres preferably include a void which may contain one or more chemical agents to be released, including breakers for the filter cake, cleanup agents, and the like.
- Specific chemical agents which may be contained in the microspheres of the invention include acids such as organic acids or mineral acids, so long as such acids will not dissolve the microspheres until a delayed period after injection to allow the time desired for the formation treatment.
- Useful organic acids include polyglycolic acid, polylactic acid, and the like.
- compositions of the invention are used in the subterranean formation to provide a plug or filter cake over a part of the formation, chemical agents should be chosen for the microspheres such that the filter cake will remain in the formation for the desired length of time.
- Change in pH or other chemical change brought about by the release of a chemical agent, or simply by the passage of time in contact with the formation will begin to dissolve the microspheres. Dissolution of a substantial amount of microspheres will destroy the filter cake, thus releasing more chemical agents, when present to clean the cake out of the formation after the fluid diversion or other procedure is complete.
- the fluid composition of the invention further comprises a gellable polymer, which gels by means of crosslinking. Dissolution of the microspheres renders the crosslinking agent used during the formation of the microspheres available for crosslinking the gellable polymer, providing a delayed gelled fluid.
- Useful gellable polymers include but are not limited to polymers that are either three dimensional or linear, or any combination thereof.
- Polymers include natural polymers, derivatives of natural polymers, synthetic polymers, biopolymers, and the like, or any mixtures thereof.

- HPC hydroxypropylcellulose
- CMHC carboxymethylhydroxyethylcellulose
- Synthetic polymers such as, but not limited to, polyacrylamide, polyvinyl alcohol, polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, and polyacrylate polymers, and the like, as well as copolymers thereof, are also useful.

- Example 1 Creation of crosslinked guar microspheres as dissolvable fluid loss additives.
- a two-phase aqueous polymer solution was created containing 2 wt% Guar gum and 4 wt% Polyethylene glycol (8000 molecular weight) in DI water. Both polymers were added to the water simultaneously while stirring moderately in a Waring® Blender. The polymers were continuously stirred for an hour to create a hydrated but phase separating bi-polymer solution. Under shear, the polymer solution consists of guar droplets dispersed in a continuous PEG solution.
- Bead sizes measured by light scattering on a Malvern Mastersizer® have a mean "diameter" of approximately 100 microns.
- the beads were observed to remain stable in water at room temperature as long as the pH was buffered to pH 10.
- the low pH environment reverses the borate crosslink on the guar polymer molecules, allowing the guar to dissolve in the water.
- the beads Based on the known pH sensitivity of borate crosslinked guar, the beads can be expected to be stable at pH greater than about 8, but not below.
- FIG. 2 shows a typical data set from the fluid loss testing.
- the crosslinked guar beads have been added to a 5% KCl brine buffered to pH 10, but with no additional viscosifier.
- the beads have been added at a 1% concentration by mass of beads to volume of brine.
- 180 mL of the brine-bead suspension was placed in a static fluid loss cell and pushed with a differential pressure of approximately 500 psi through a one inch diameter sandstone core with a permeability of approximately 81 mD. (The core is one inch long).
- Example 2 Crosslinked polymer beads with solid acid particles inside.
- the beads of example 1 have been reproduced, but this time with 8 micron particles of polyglycolic acid embedded within the beads. The process is the same as in example 1, but 0.5% by weight of the PGA particles are added to the guar-PEG water-in-water emulsion before the borate crosslinker is added.
- FIG. 3 is a picture of the beads embedded with solid acid particles photographed on a microscope slide. The PGA beads are visible as dark spots within the otherwise clear guar beads. The 8 micron PGA particles fit easily in the larger guar beads, and the mean bead size (as measured on the Masters izer) is still approximately 100 microns.
- the crosslinked guar microbeads do dissolve in water or linear gel if the pH is below about pH 8. In this way, the microbeads not only dissolve, but also serve as a means to release crosslinker. They can be used, therefore, as an additive for delayed crosslinking of polymeric fluids
- Example 3 The previous examples have focused on crosslinked polymeric microbeads made from guar crosslinked with borate. To demonstrate that the approach of phase separating a polymer in a water-water emulsion has broader application for crosslinking microbeads, this example was created by phase separating sodium alginate (an anionic polysaccharide) with polyethylene glycol and then crosslinking the alginate beads with calcium.
- sodium alginate an anionic polysaccharide
- Sodium alginate was phase separated as the internal droplet phase of an aqueous solution by adding 0.5% sodium alginate, 10% KCl and 6% PEG 8000 into 100 ml of DI water in a Waring® Blender. After dispersing the polymers and allowing the mixture to stir for a minimum of 30 minutes, 0.3% CaC12 was added to crosslink the alginate beads. Upon stopping the blender and measuring the size of the beads on the Masters izer, they were found to have a broad particle size distribution with most of the particles having characteristics sizes between 10 microns and 100 microns with the mean particle diameter being approximately 35 microns.
