Methods and compositions for introducing a treatment fluid into a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation wherein the treatment fluid comprises: a base fluid; and composite diverting particulates, wherein the composite diverting particulates each comprise a degradable polymer and an oil-soluble material, wherein the composite diverting particulate at least partially plugs a zone in the subterranean formation; and diverting at least a portion of the treatment fluid and/or a subsequently introduced fluid away from the zone.

A non-aqueous slurry contains a non-aqueous liquid immiscible in water (such as a hydrocarbon based oil) having dispersed therein a crosslinking agent (such as a borate crosslinking agent) and an oil-wetting surface active material. The non-aqueous slurry further contains an organophilic clay. The non-aqueous slurry, when used in an aqueous fracturing fluid, provides crosslinking delay between the crosslinking agent and a hydratable polymer, such as guar or guar derivatives. The aqueous fracturing fluid provides an enhanced fracture network after being pumped into a well.

Methods and systems for treating a subterranean formation. An example method performs a wellbore operation with a first treatment fluid, removes a flammable gaseous hydrocarbon from a well penetrating the subterranean formation; wherein the well is disposed on a wellsite, introduces the flammable gaseous hydrocarbon into a gas-to-liquid reactor located on the wellsite to produce an oleaginous liquid, produces a second treatment fluid comprising the oleaginous liquid at the wellsite, and introduces the second treatment fluid into the well.

Proppant dust suppression compositions including: (a) at least one sugar alcohol ester and (b) at least one sugar alcohol esters and methods for using the compositions, wherein the composition is adapted to reduce dust in a dust-containing material by about 30% and about 100% and wherein the at least one sugar alcohol ester improves flowability of treated dust-containing material.

Provided herein are methods systems and compositions of a fracturing fluid comprising an associative polymer and clay nanoparticles. A method may comprise: providing a fracturing fluid comprising: a carrier fluid; an associative polymer; and clay nanoparticles; and injecting the fracturing fluid into a subterranean formation at or above a fracture gradient.

Compositions and methods comprising certain microemulsions and certain clay control additives for enhancing clay swelling protection and persistency in treating swelling clay of a subterranean formation of oil and/or gas wells are generally provided. The combination of certain microemulsions and certain clay control additives exhibit synergistic effects by enhancing clay swelling protection and persistency in treating swelling clay. The well treatment composition may use up to four times less concentration of clay control additive compared to using the same clay control additive alone, while still providing the same, similar, or higher degree of clay swelling protection and enhanced persistency. The microemulsion and the clay control additive may be added to a carrier fluid to form the well treatment composition, which is injected into the subterranean formation to provide enhanced clay swelling protection and persistency of continuing to provide clay swelling protection for a longer period of time during flowback.
