DRILLING FLUID

Disclosed herein are drilling fluid compositions suitable for use, for example, in drilling a well bore through a subterranean formation and other oil and gas operations. The drilling fluid compositions of the present disclosure include the condensation product of a trifunctional amine and a fatty acid and an oil base fluid. The present disclosure also described processes for preparing drilling fluid compositions.

Embedded treatment fluid additives for use in subterranean formation operations

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.

Insulating fluid for thermal insulation

An insulating fluid system includes an acidic nanosilica dispersion and an alkaline activator. The acidic nanosilica dispersion includes silica nanoparticles and a stabilizer, such as a carboxylic acid. The alkaline activator includes an alkanolamine, such as a monoalkanolamine. A mixture of the acidic nanosilica dispersion and the alkaline activator forms an insulating fluid having a pH greater than 7 and less than or equal to 12, and the insulating fluid forms an insulating gel when heated to a temperature in a range between 100° F. and 300° F. The insulating gel may be formed in an annulus between an inner conduit and an outer conduit. The inner and outer conduits may be positioned in a subterranean formation. Forming an insulating gel may include combining the acidic nanosilica dispersion with the alkaline activator to yield the insulating fluid, and heating the insulating fluid to form the insulating gel.
