A method of treating a subterranean formation including combining a long chain hydrocarbon viscosifier, an ene curing agent, and a thiol crosslinking agent to form a resin compound; coating the resin compound onto at least a portion of proppant particles to create resin-coated proppant particles; and placing the coated proppant particles into the subterranean formation zone, wherein the resin compound does not substantially cure prior to placing the resin coated proppant particles into the subterranean formation zone.

Systems and methods for treating subterranean formations using deagglomerated inorganic clay particles are provided. In one embodiment, the methods comprise: providing a treatment fluid that comprises a base fluid, a consolidating agent, and a deagglomerated inorganic clay particle; introducing the treatment fluid into at least a portion of a subterranean formation so as to contact unconsolidated particles within the subterranean formation with the treatment fluid; and allowing the consolidating agent and the deagglomerated inorganic clay particle to consolidate at least a portion of the unconsolidated particulates in the portion of the subterranean formation.

A method of fracturing a subterranean formation includes introducing into the formation a fracturing composition comprising a carrier and a substantially spherical polymeric particulate derived from a cashew nut shell liquid, the substantially spherical polymeric particulate having an apparent specific gravity of less than about 2.4. The fracturing composition is introduced at a pressure sufficient to create or enlarge a fracture.

The fracturing composition is introduced at a pressure sufficient to create or enlarge a fracture in the formation.

A downhole fluid composition having a saccharide gelling agent, an oxidative breaker, and a sequestering agent. The sequestering agent is hydrocarbon miscible and inert to oxidation by the oxidative breaker. The sequestering agent sequesters the oxidative breaker or an activator for the oxidative breaker, whereby oxidation of the gelling agent is inhibited. The downhole fluid may also include a proppant. Upon contacting hydrocarbons downhole or reaching a predetermined temperature, the sequestering agent releases the oxidative breaker or activator thereby oxidizing the saccharide gelling agent.

Gel breaking systems comprise a source of hydrogen peroxide and an activator selected from the group consisting of triazine-based activators, phthalimide-based activators and mixtures thereof. Also, methods use the gel breaking system to break the gelled component of a treatment fluid used in a gravel packing operation for a well.

A process for reducing the permeability to water of a thief zone of a porous and permeable subterranean petroleum reservoir includes injecting a composition comprising a dispersion of betainised crosslinked polymeric microparticles in an aqueous fluid down a well and into a thief zone. The betainised crosslinked polymeric microparticles have a transition temperature that is at or below the maximum temperature encountered in the thief zone and greater than the maximum temperature encountered in the well. The betainised crosslinked polymeric microparticles are solvated by water, expand in size and optionally aggregate in the thief zone when they encounter a temperature greater than the transition temperature so as to reduce the permeability of the thief zone to water.

The present disclosure relates to subterranean formation operations and, more particularly, to embedded treatment fluid additives for use in subterranean formation operations. The embedded treatment additives may comprise an aqueous-soluble downhole reactive material embedded in a crosslinked polymeric solution to delay the reactivity of the aqueous-soluble downhole reactive material, thereby forming the embedded treatment additive, wherein the aqueous-soluble downhole reactive material is a solid.

A method that includes providing a treatment fluid having an aqueous base fluid and ground drilling cuttings and placing the treatment fluid in a subterranean formation.

Gravel pack fluids and methods of use thereof provides improve fluid suspension characteristics under extremely high temperatures, for example, from about 275 F. to 300 F. (135 C. to 149 C.) or higher. The disclosed the gravel pack fluids are able to achieve stability at these elevated temperatures by virtue of a gel composition having natural or synthetic hectorite nanoparticles added thereto. Such gravel pack fluids are especially useful for delivering proppant into a subterranean formation, gravel into a wellbore, and the like, in certain parts of the world known to have extremely high downhole temperatures. The disclosed gravel pack fluids are particularly useful for inclined and horizontal well applications, as well as applications that involve transporting particulates through alternate flow paths, such as shunt tubes, bypass conduits, and the like.
