International Classification:

E21B 43/26

US Classification:

166281000, 166294000, 166295000, 507219000, 507224000

Abstract:

Methods comprising introducing a relative permeability modifier fluid into at least a portion of a subterranean formation to form a treated portion of the subterranean formation; and introducing a consolidating agent into the treated portion of the subterranean formation so as to transform at least a section of the treated portion of the subterranean formation into a consolidated region. In some embodiments, the subterranean formation may have been previously hydraulically fracture-stimulated.

International Classification:

E21B 43/00

US Classification:

166279

Abstract:

A method of treating a subterranean formation may include placing a first treatment fluid into a subterranean formation through an access conduit connecting the subterranean formation to a wellbore at a pressure sufficient to form at least a portion of a fracture network; pumping a second treatment fluid comprising a propping agent into the fracture network such that the propping agent forms a proppant pack in at least a portion of the fracture network; placing a third treatment fluid comprising a secondary diverting agent into the fracture network so as to substantially inhibit fluid flow through at least a portion of the fracture network without substantially inhibiting fluid flow through the access conduit; and placing a fourth treatment fluid comprising a primary diverting agent into the wellbore such that the primary diverting agent substantially inhibits fluid flow through the access conduit.

US Classification:

175 50

Abstract:

Drilling laterals in shale formations. At least some of the illustrative embodiments are methods including: drilling a deviated borehole through a shale formation with a drill string comprising a drill bit; logging the shale formation with a logging tool disposed within the drill string; estimating, in real time with the drilling, fracture potential of a portion of the shale formation near the drill bit, the estimation of fracture potential based on information acquired by the logging tool; and controlling drilling direction based on the fracture potential.

International Classification:

E21B 33/072
E21B 19/00

Abstract:

The disclosed embodiments include a method for coupling a wireline system to a wellhead. The method includes storing a downhole tool within the wireline system. The method also includes coupling the wireline system to the wellhead via a remotely actuated connector and pressure testing the wireline system. Further, the method includes opening a valve of the wellhead to enable passage of the downhole tool from the wireline system to a well.
