Hydraulic Fracturing Additive, Hydraulic Fracturing Treatment Fluid Made Therefrom, And Method Of Hydraulically Fracturing A Subterranean Formation

US Patent:
2004002, Feb 5, 2004
Filed:
Aug 1, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/211984
Inventors:
Boyce Burts - Lafayette LA, US
International Classification:
E21B001/00
US Classification:
507/200000
Abstract:
For hydraulic fracturing treatment to increase productivity of subterranean hydrocarbon bearing formation, a hydraulic fracturing additive including a dry mixture of water soluble crosslinkable polymer, a crosslinking agent, and a filter aid which is preferably diatomaceous earth. The method of forming a hydraulic fracturing fluid includes contacting the additive with water or an aqueous solution, with a method of hydraulically fracturing the formation further including the step of injecting the fluid into the wellbore.

US Patent:
2004002, Feb 5, 2004
Filed:
Aug 1, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/211983
Inventors:
Boyce Burts - Lafayette LA, US
International Classification:
E21B001/00
US Classification:
507/200000
Abstract:
For lost circulation treatment for decreasing fluid loss from a borehole into a subterranean formation, a lost circulation additive including water soluble crosslinkable polymer, a crosslinking agent, a filter aid that is preferably diatomaceous earth, and optionally a reinforcing material. The method of forming a lost circulation fluid includes contacting the additive with water or an aqueous solution, with a method of lost circulation treatment of the formation further including the step of injecting the fluid into the formation thereby decreasing fluid loss from the borehole into the subterranean formation.

Well Fluid Additive, Well Fluid Made Therefrom, Method Of Treating A Well Fluid, Method Of Circulating A Well Fluid

US Patent:
6323158, Nov 27, 2001
Filed:
Jun 8, 1998
Appl. No.:
9/093097
Inventors:
Boyce D. Burts - Lafayette LA
Assignee:
Bottom Line Industries, Inc. - Lafayette IN
International Classification:
C09K 700
US Classification:
507104
Abstract:
An drilling fluid additive to reduce loss circulation includes comminuted rice fraction and corn cobs, and includes ground at least one of ground wood fiber, ground nut shells, ground paper and shredded cellophane. A method of treating a drilling fluid includes contacting such drilling fluid additive with the base drilling fluid to form well fluid. A method of operating a well includes circulation of such a well fluid into and out of a borehole.
