A wellbore treatment fluid comprising: a base fluid; and a water-soluble salt, the salt comprising: a cation; and an anion, wherein the anion is selected from phosphotungstate, silicotungstate, phosphomolybdate, and silicomolybdate. The treatment fluid can have a density greater than or equal to 13 pounds per gallon. A method of treating a portion of a subterranean formation penetrated by a well comprising: introducing the treatment fluid into the well.

Weakly consolidated formations, semi consolidated formations, or unconsolidated formations treated with an aggregating, agglomerating or conglomerating composition, which alters an aggregation or zeta potential of formation surfaces and particulate to increase a maximum sand free production rate of producing formations and increases the injection rate of injection formations.

Methods of treating a subterranean formation are disclosed that include introducing a treatment fluid including shaped particle and/or shaped uniform particles into a subterranean formation via a wellbore, and creating a plug including the shaped particle and/or shaped uniform particles of the treatment fluid.

A method of coring to preserve subterranean soluble salt cements gives careful consideration to the selection and use of drilling fluids, specific logging of the zone of interest, displacing the near wellbore with an agent that when cured has either bound all subterranean water or cemented up all the available pore space, coring of the target formation zone containing the cured agent and retrieval of pressurized core material that allows CT scanning.

Methods for drilling a wellbore into a subterranean formation include preparing a drilling fluid and circulating the drilling fluid in the wellbore while drilling in the subterranean formation, forming a filtercake from the drilling fluid, creating or encountering one or more fractures in the subterranean formation while drilling, and allowing a portion of the filtercake formed to at least partially seal the one or more fractures while continuing the drilling.

An acid spearhead formulation for mineral scale reduction that includes a sulfuric acid solution having an acidity that is substantially equivalent to a hydrochloric acid solution in an acid spearhead formulation, a sodium citrate compound, where an acid spearhead formulation for mineral scale reduction is formed, the acid spearhead formulation is disposed in a well bore to stabilize mineral scales, the acid spearhead formulation is disposed in the well bore to chelate solubilized calcium in a rock bed of the well bore, and the well bore includes a temporal thermodynamic subsurface barite cycling having a subsurface barite dissolution temporal phase, a subsurface barite transport to fractures temporal phase, a subsurface barite precipitation to fracture temporal phase and a subsurface barite dissolution to fracture space temporal phase, where the acid spearhead formulation for mineral scale reduction reacts with the well bore within the subsurface barite dissolution temporal phase.

An integrated system includes a desalination plant including a reverse osmosis (RO) array to produce an RO permeate blending stream and a nanofiltration (NF) array to produce an NF permeate blending stream. The integrated system also includes a blending system. a control unit, and an injection system for an injection well that penetrates an oil-bearing layer of a reservoir. The blending system is to blend the RO permeate blending stream and the NF permeate blending stream to produce a blended injection water stream. The control unit is to dynamically alter operation of the blending system to adjust amounts of at least one of the RO permeate blending stream and the NF permeate blending stream to alter the composition of the blended injection water stream from an initial composition to a target composition.
