DISSOLVABLE SLEEVE FOR HYDROCARBON WELL COMPLETIONS
20220389301 · 2022-12-08 ·

The invention relates to the use of a sleeve (9) installed in a liner or casing (1) prior to a cementing operation. Completion equipment in the liner/casing creates an irregular inner profile which can cause cement to get trapped. A wiper dart (3) passed down the casing/liner (1) may have difficulty removing all residual cement (5). By using a sleeve or insert (8) in the liner/casing (1), a smooth inner profile (9) may be created which can be cleaned relatively easily by a wiper dart. Once cementing and cleaning are complete, the sleeve (9) may be removed by wellbore fluid or acid if it is made from a dissolvable material such as aluminum or magnesium.

Intentional degradation of hollow particles for annular pressure build-up mitigation

A method of servicing a wellbore may comprise providing a treatment fluid comprising a carrier fluid and hollow particles, wherein the hollow particles may comprise an outer wall that encapsulates a gas. The method may further comprise introducing the treatment fluid into a wellbore annulus and trapping at least a portion of the treatment fluid in the wellbore annulus. The carrier fluid may degrade the outer wall of the hollow particles in the wellbore annulus and release the encapsulated gas.
