Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of Cement Systems for Oil and Gas Well Zonal Isolation in a Full-Scale Annular Geometry
Linda Boukhelifa,Nevio Moroni,Simon James,Sylvaine Le Roy-Delage,Marc Thiercelin,Guillaume Lemaire +5 more
Patent
Sand consolidation with flexible gel systems
TL;DR: In this article, the authors described a method of consolidating a subterranean formation or repairing a gravel pack, comprising (i) providing a consolidating fluid, comprising a gel component and a gel-forming agent; and (ii) injecting the consolidated fluid into the formation or gravel pack under conditions wherein the gel component forms a flexible gel, thereby consolidating the formation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Nano-chemo-mechanical signature of conventional oil-well cement systems: Effects of elevated temperature and curing time
Konrad J. Krakowiak,Jeffrey J. Thomas,Simone Musso,Simon James,Ange-Therese Akono,Franz-Josef Ulm +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report results from a multi-technique investigation of behavior and properties of API class G cement and silica-enriched cement systems subjected to hydrothermal curing from 30°C to 200°C; including electron probe microanalysis, X-ray diffraction, thermogravimetry analysis, electron microscopy, neutron scattering, and fracture scratch testing.
Patent
Suspension and porous pack for reduction of particles in subterranean well fluids, and method for treating an underground formation
Simon James,Paul R. Howard +1 more
TL;DR: The addition of specific fibrous, platelet, and/or fibrous and platelet compositions in mixtures with particulates for or during well treatment procedures such as fracturing and gravel packing decreases or eliminates the undesirable transport or flowback of proppant or formation particulates as discussed by the authors.
Patent
Optimum perforation design and technique to minimize sand intrusion
TL;DR: In this paper, elliptically shaped perforations of a particular orientation are created in the casing, or directly into the formation in the case of an uncased wellbore, to improve near-wellbore stability of the formation, hence minimizing sand intrusion.
