METHOD FOR STABILIZING WELLBORE, STABILIZED WELLBORE AND WELLBORE STABILIZING FLUID
A method for stabilizing a wellbore includes introducing a hardening agent into the wellbore, mixing the hardening agent with a carrier fluid in the wellbore to produce a wellbore stabilizing fluid, and treating a wellbore wall of the wellbore by contacting the wellbore stabilizing fluid to a surface of the wellbore wall for at least 48 hours. A wellbore stabilizing fluid includes a hardening agent and a carrier fluid. The hardening agent is selected from one of 10 to 100 g/L of the calcium hydroxide nanocrystals, 5 to 99.9% by volume of tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), and 10 to 50 g/L of zinc sulfate. A stabilized wellbore includes a wellbore having a wellbore wall treated with a wellbore stabilizing fluid comprising a hardening agent. The Young's modulus of the treated wellbore wall is at least 5% higher than a Young's modulus of a non-treated wellbore wall.
Wellbore Servicing Fluid and Methods of Making and Using Same
A method comprising (a) contacting a suspension composition, water, and optionally one or more additives to form a wellbore servicing fluid at a location proximate a wellsite; wherein the suspension composition comprises a particulate material, an organic carrier fluid, and a suspension viscosifier; and (b) placing the wellbore servicing fluid in a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation. The wellsite comprises an offshore platform, a floating vessel, or combinations thereof; and wherein the wellbore is offshore. A suspension composition comprising a particulate material, an organic carrier fluid, and a suspension viscosifier; wherein the particulate material is substantially insoluble in the organic carrier fluid; wherein the particulate material comprises a water-interactive material and/or a water-insoluble material; and wherein the organic carrier fluid comprises a glycol and/or a glycol ether.

Emulsion shear bond enhanced cement
A precursor cement slurry includes a cement powder, water, and an additive. The additive includes a cement bond enhancer and a non-aqueous fluid additive. The non-aqueous fluid additive is an internal phase and the cement bond enhancer stabilizes the non-aqueous fluid additive in the form of a Pickering emulsion within the precursor cement slurry. The cement bond enhancer is comprised of the reaction product of graphene oxide with an anchoring functionality. A method of forming the precursor cement slurry and a method of cementing an annular space within a wellbore are also provided.
Additive for reinforced concrete
The additive for reinforced concrete is a concrete additive for preventing corrosion of steel rebars in steel-reinforced concrete, improving the workability of the cast concrete, and reducing water absorption/permeability in the cast concrete. The reinforced concrete may be a conventional reinforced concrete, such as that formed from a mixture of water, an aggregate and cement, having at least one steel rebar embedded in the mixture. The additive is added to the mixture prior to curing and casting. The additive may for example, have a concentration with respect to the cement of between 0.25 wt % and 1.0 wt %. The additive includes a triazole and a non-ionic surfactant including a poly oxy ethoxylated reaction product of sorbitan and a fatty acid. The triazole and the non-ionic surfactant are dissolved in the solvent.
