Definitions

  • the subject disclosure generally relates to sealing perforations in a wellbore. More specifically, the subject disclosure relates to a method for selectively treating a plurality of formation intervals using swellable ball sealers.
  • Zonal isolation is achieved by employing a diversion technique.
  • Various techniques for selectively treating multiple zones have been suggested including techniques using packers, wellbore plugs, setting bridge plugs, pumping ball sealers, pumping benzoic acid flakes and degradable particulates.
  • Ball sealers are, as the name suggests, spherical shaped objects which are meant to seal the perforations and prevent or inhibit fluid from within the wellbore from leaking through the perforation into the formation.
  • Ball sealers are typically introduced into the well at the surface and are carried down into the well with the treatment fluid. A positive pressure differential is maintained between the well and the formation surrounding the well. When a ball sealer encounters an open perforation with such a pressure differential, i.e., higher pressure in the well than in the formation, the ball sealer seats itself on the perforation and is held in place by the positive differential pressure.
  • Typical ball sealers consist of a rigid core usually constructed with a metal and enclosed with an elastomeric coating. It is desirable that the ball sealers produce an effective seal without being permanently lodged in the perforation or the formation. Therefore, ball sealers are advantageously sized so as to maximize their sealing potential without entering into the perforation. Ball sealers exist in a variety of diameters and densities to be applicable for different environments and to be size-appropriate for the entry holes the ball sealers are intended to seal.
  • the size of the ball sealer is typically selected based on the size of the perforation hole which will be plugged and is typically higher than the diameter of the hole. This enables partial penetration of the ball sealer into the perforation resulting in an effective plug. Self- adjustment of the elastomeric coating of the ball sealer to the shape of the perforation entrance provides additional seating strength and reduces penetration of the treating fluid into the plugged perforation hole during the treatment stage.
  • the geometry of the perforation entry may vary.
  • the shape of the perforation entry may deviate from the shape of an ideal cycle which is a preferred geometry type for plugging with ball sealers. This may occur in wells where perforations were extensively eroded during a fracturing treatment or during a production phase.
  • a coiled tubing mounted jetting tool may be used to create perforations in the casing which may also result in a non-ideal geometry of the holes.
  • it may be difficult to plug these perforations with conventional ball sealers as they will not be able to completely stop fluid penetration in the sealed zone. This may result in an ineffective diverting agent and in the case of a fracturing treatment it may result in an undesirable over displacement of propping agent into the near-wellbore zone.
  • the subject disclosure relates to ball sealers which adjust to the geometry of the surrounding environment. These ball sealers better adapt to different perforation shapes thereby providing better sealing. The resulting ball sealers will provide for better diversion.
  • a ball sealer for plugging perforations in a wellbore.
  • the ball sealer comprises a swellable material configured to expand and produce a seal between an outer surface of a ball sealer and a surface of the perforation. Further, the swellable material is adapted to conform to the geometry of the perforation during swelling.
  • methods of sealing a perforation in a wellbore comprises injecting into the wellbore a ball sealer suspended in a fluid to a region of the perforation wherein the ball sealer comprises a swellable material; applying pressure to fluid in the wellbore to seat the ball sealer on the perforation; exposing the swellable material to a triggering fluid; and allowing the ball sealer to swell and produce a seal between an outer surface of the seated ball sealer and a surface of the perforation.
  • a system for injecting fluids into a formation comprises a casing which includes a plurality of perforations and a plurality of ball sealers which are pumped into the casing with a fluid.
  • Each ball sealer comprises a layer of swellable material which is adapted to conform to a geometry of the perforation during swelling. The swellable material forms a plug that inhibits fluid flow through the perforation.

  • FIG. 2 depicts a variation of the degree of cross-linking along the length of a sample for a uniform and a gradient elastomer
  • FIG. 3 is a graph of the influence of temperature on swelling kinetics of EPDM elastomer in n-decane

  • FIGs. 6A-6F illustrate various embodiments of sealing a perforation with a swellable ball sealer.
  • the subject disclosure relates to swellable ball sealers comprising a coating of swellable material. Once introduced into a casing perforation these ball sealers will swell and conform to the geometry of the surrounding environment. As a result, the swellable ball sealers result in better diversion effectiveness enabling higher mechanical stability and reduced fluid penetration in the sealed zone.
  • the swellable ball sealers may be injected into the wellbore by an appropriate method including injecting from the wellhead, or introducing the swellable ball sealers at an appropriate depth using coiled tubing, jointed tubing, and the like.
  • Fig. 1 illustrates a typical deployment of ball sealers as a diversion agent into a wellbore.
  • the well (101) of Fig. 1 has a casing (113) extending for at least a portion of the length of the wellbore.
  • Cement holds the casing (113) in place and isolates the penetrated formation.
  • the cement sheath (117) extends upward from the bottom of the wellbore in the annulus between the outside of the casing (113) and the inside wall of the wellbore at least to a point above a producing zone (103).
  • a fluid communication between the production zone (103) and the interior casing (113) is established.
  • perforations (111) made through the casing (113) and the cement sheath (117). These perforations (111) can be made using a perforating gun or other similar perforating tools as known to those skilled in art. The resulting perforations (111) form a flow path from the formation into the casing (113) or from the casing (113) into the formation.
  • the hydrocarbons flowing out of the production zone (103) through the perforations (111) and into the interior of the casing may be transported to the surface through a production tubing (115).
  • An optional packer (109) can be installed near the lower end of the production tubing (115) and above the higher perforation (111) to achieve a pressure seal between the production tubing (115) and the casing (113), if necessary.
  • swellable ball sealers (107) in accordance with the subject disclosure may be used to seal some of the perforations. Sealing occurs when flow through a perforation (111) is significantly reduced as indicated by an increase in wellbore pressure as a swellable ball sealer (107) blocks off a perforation (111).
  • These swellable ball sealers (107) are generally spherical in shape, but other geometries may be used. Nonlimiting examples include sphere, egg shaped, pear shaped, capsular, ellipsoid, grandular, and the like.
  • the swellable ball sealers (107) may be introduced into the casing (113) at a predetermined time during the treatment.
  • the ball sealers (107) may be carried down the production tubing (115) or casing (113) by the treating fluid (105) flow. Once the treating fluid (105) arrives at the perforation zone in the casing, it flows outwardly through the perforations (111) and into the zone (103) being treated.
  • the flow of the treating fluid (105) through the perforations (111) carries the swellable ball sealers (107) toward the perforations (111) causing the swellable ball sealers (107) to seat on the perforations (111).
  • the swellable ball sealer (107) is designed to swell in response to either water and/or hydrocarbons so that swelling creates a seal.
  • the swellable ball sealers (107) sets and increases in swelling which results in an adjustment of the shape of the swellable ball sealer (107) to the geometry of the perforation (111) and enhanced mechanical stability of the swellable ball sealer (107) compared to a typical non-swellable ball sealer. This effect is achieved due to the improved mechanical interlocking between the edges of the perforation and the swollen elastomer.
  • swellable ball sealers are used which have a diameter before swelling which is less than the diameter of the perforation hole. In this situation, bridging and swelling of the ball sealers would take place either in the perforation tunnels or in the fracture zone lying in proximity to the perforation tunnels. Swelling of the diverting material in these zones provides complete isolation of the stimulated zone but at the same time there is no restriction on wellbore communication between the zones lying beyond the isolated region. The ball sealers in this instance are also not exposed to the abrasive effect of the treating fluid.
