Disclosed is a foam booster that is capable of producing or increasing the amount of foam in any given composition. The foam booster includes a saccharide blend having 30 wt. % to 50 wt. % of an aldohexose or mixture of aldohexoses, 20 wt. % to 55 wt. % of a ketohexose or mixture of ketohexoses; and 10 wt. % to 20 wt. % of a disaccharide or mixture of disaccharides.

A method for wellbore treatment. The method including preparing an encapsulated treatment agent via polymerization, feeding the encapsulated treatment agent into the wellbore, delivering the encapsulated treatment agent to a desired depth within a formation in the wellbore, activating an acoustic or an electromagnetic source at the desired depth within the formation, and generating an acoustic field or an electromagnetic field. The acoustic field or electromagnetic field activates the encapsulant thereby releasing the treatment agent into the wellbore and a desired depth.

The present application provides a gas-generating aqueous fluid containing a gas-generating compound like an azo compound, and an organic amine like a primary, secondary or tertiary amine, a hydrazine, a hydrazide, or a semicarbazide. The aqueous fluid may also a viscosifier, and a foaming surfactant. The present application also provides a method of using the gas-generating composition to modulate density of a wellbore fluid for use in downhole applications. The method optionally includes adding an oxidizer to the wellbore fluid.

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.

Glycine is an organic compound that can be used in the making of a synthetic base that obviates all the drawbacks of strong bases such as sodium hydroxide. The new compound is made by dissolving glycine in water and adding calcium hydroxide at a molar ration of about 1:1. Next, sodium percarbonate is dissolved in the solution to produce the new compound, which can be referred to as glycine hydroxide.
