Liquefied natural gas (LNG) re-fracturing
A method and system for pressurizing and stimulating a formation with a parent well therethrough, the method including storing and de-liquefying liquefied natural gas (LNG) at an on-site location near the parent well, injecting a first stream of de-liquefied LNG into the parent well to pressurize the formation, and injecting a second stream of de-liquefied LNG into the parent well at a fracturing pressure sufficient to fracture the pressurized formation.

SINGLE-FLUID MIXED SCALE DISSOLUTION
Methods and treatment fluids for removing mixed scale. A treatment fluid is introduced into a wellbore comprising a mixed scale of interspersed calcium carbonate and calcium sulfate. The treatment fluid comprises: phosphonomethyliminodiacetic acid, glycine-N,N-bis(methylene phosphonic acid), or a combination thereof; and an aqueous base fluid. The treatment fluid has a pH in a range between about 6 to about 8. The method further comprises contacting the mixed scale with the treatment fluid.

BIOLOGICAL AND CHEMICAL COMPOSITE BLOCKAGE REMOVING AGENT AND PREPARATION PROCESS AND USE THEREOF
The present invention relates to a biological and chemical composite blockage removing agent and preparation process and use thereof, and mainly solves the problems that the existing blockage removing agents have poor blockage removal effect on organic blockages, cause damage to formations and oil-wells, produce serious environmental pollution, and corrode the equipment, pipelines, and the like. The problems can be well solved by using a technical solution of a biological and chemical composite blockage removing agent, which contains the following components in parts by mass: A. 10-50 parts of a biosurfactant; B. 5-20 parts of a chemical surfactant; wherein the chemical surfactant is an anionic-nonionic surfactant, and said technical solution can be used in the industrial production for removing the blockage in the oilfield, and reducing the injection pressure and increasing the injection.

Acid precursors for enhanced inhibitor placement in scale squeeze treatments
A variety of methods, systems, and compositions are disclosed, including, in one embodiment, method of scale inhibition including: introducing a treatment fluid comprising a brine, a scale inhibitor in neutralized form, and a thermally activated acid precursor through a wellbore and into a producing formation; wherein the thermally activated acid precursor is heated to release an acid that enhances miscibility of the scale inhibitor in the brine.

IRON CONTROL AS PART OF A WELL TREATMENT USING TIME-RELEASED AGENTS
In a well in a subterranean formation, treatment fluids for time-released iron control are utilized. These treatment fluids contain a time-released form of a complexing agent, wherein the complexing agent forms an insoluble complex with iron. The time-released form prevents loss of the agent prior to delivery to the desired site and at the desired time(s). Methods for controlling iron in a well in a subterranean formation utilize these treatment fluids containing a time-released form of a complexing agent and these methods create insoluble complexes of the agent with the iron to control the iron from the formation and/or well.
