Abstract:
A swelling packer is covered with a material that is preferably in a tubular form and slipped over the swelling element to be shrink fit with applied heat. The material is formulated to break down at temperatures slightly below the expected downhole temperatures so that ideally the packer has about 48 hours of swelling delay which is normally a time period long enough to allow it to be properly located without it swelling so much as to cause it to be damaged by running in. Various polymers can be used to make an imperious covering for run in that on the way starts to break down. Ideally the material for the cover disappears about the time of sealing or shortly thereafter.

Water Swelling Rubber Compound For Use In Reactive Packers And Other Downhole Tools
James R. Korte - Katy TX, US John J. Thurston - Houston TX, US James Edward Goodson - Porter TX, US
Assignee:
Baker Hughes Incorporated - Houston TX
International Classification:
E21B 33/12
US Classification:
166387, 166182, 166187
Abstract:
Through the combination of at least two polymer families, and the optimization of other components, a rubber compound has been developed for use in downhole applications that will swell in water-based fluids. A cellulose component, such as carboxy methyl cellulose (CMC), is used together with an acrylate copolymer (AC) that can increase the swelling capacity of an acrylonitrile butadiene rubber (NBR) in water. The amount of swelling achieved depends on physical boundaries and limitations, the salinity of the water, and the temperature.

Abstract:
A method of producing a water-fuel emulsion is disclosed. The method includes the steps of recovering a contaminated water component, the water component comprising water contaminated with one or more selected from the group consisting of a contaminant fuel, oil or glycol, and mixing one or more fuel components and the contaminated water component to produce a water-fuel emulsion. Typical contaminant fuels include aviation fuels, gasolines, diesel fuels, distillates and fuel oils. Water-fuel emulsion compositions are also disclosed. Typical fuel components include middle distillates and fuel oils.

US Classification:
166118, 523130
Abstract:
A polymer composition includes a base polymer comprising a hydrocarbon rubber, an acrylic copolymer, and a refined oil in which the acrylic polymer is dispersed. The polymer composition is swellable when treated with an aqueous medium, non-aqueous medium, or both. A sealing element for a flow channel includes an expandable section filled with a swellable composition that swells when treated with a swelling material. The swellable composition includes the polymer composition, and the swelling material may be aqueous, non-aqueous, or both.
