A shunt tube entry device comprises one or more inlet ports, a shroud disposed at least partially about a wellbore tubular, and a shunt tube in fluid communication with the chamber. The shroud defines a chamber between the shroud and the wellbore tubular, and the chamber is in fluid communication with the one or more entry ports.

Migration of formation solids in a wellbore is restrained by feeding a slurry, comprising water, a viscosifier, and a concentration of cement clinker particles, into the wellbore, and hydrating the clinker particles in the wellbore. The clinker particles are kept in suspension during the hydrating, and upon completion of the hydrating the hydrated clinker particles form a hardened cement consisting of a permeable structure of interconnected hydrated clinker particles. A layer of degradable lost circulation material (LCM) may be employed to separate the slurry with clinker particles from the formation surrounding the wellbore during hydrating of the clinker particles.

A new method separating sand, solids, and produced particulates down-hole in a well producing hydrocarbons. The separation assembly can include ether one, two, or more segments or stages of varying lengths depending upon the individual application. The assembly is installed into the tubing string or delivery conduit of a well producing hydrocarbons. One stage can consist of a velocity chamber whereby separation of particulates occurs by increasing the downward velocity of particulates and reducing the upward velocity of hydrocarbons thereby allowing the particulates to “fall-out” into a lower chamber where the particulates are captured. Another stage can consist of a filter whereby particulates are captured in a chamber that can consist of filtering materials such as gravel, rock, sand, wood, or manmade materials. Each of the stages can be employed individually or in combination.

Various embodiments disclosed relate to compositions including a glycerol ester including at least two epoxides for treatment of subterranean formations. In various embodiments, the present invention provides a method of treating a subterranean formation. The method includes placing in a subterranean formation a composition including a glycerol ester that includes at least two epoxides. The composition also includes a hardening agent.

Methods of treating a subterranean formation are disclosed that include introducing a treatment fluid including thermally shrinkable fibers and a particulate material into a subterranean formation via a wellbore, adjusting at least one parameter of the treatment fluid to trigger the association of the thermally shrinkable fibers, and forming a porous pack including a network of shrunken fibers by applying heat sufficient to raise the temperature of the thermally shrinkable fibers to a temperature at or above a shrinking initiation temperature of the thermally shrinkable fibers.

Weakly consolidated formations, semi consolidated formations, or unconsolidated formations treated with an aggregating, agglomerating or conglomerating composition, which alters an aggregation or zeta potential of formation surfaces and particulate to increase a maximum sand free production rate of producing formations and increases the injection rate of injection formations.

An exploiting method and device of marine facies natural gas hydrate. The exploiting method comprises the following steps: (1) after the construction of a vertical well, a fixed pipe is constructed, the exploiting well is set in the center of the fixed pipe, and the mixture is filled between the inner wall of the fixed pipe and the outer wall of the exploiting well; (2) the self-excited oscillating jet nozzle enters the exploiting well along the vertical well to the designated position through an orifice on the exploiting well and sprays the mixture, so that the mixture is broken evenly to form artificial fractures; (3) under the corresponding temperature, the hydrate decomposes to produce gas by depressurized exploiting; (4) the gas-liquid mixture exploited by the exploiting well is separated into liquid and gas in the gas-liquid separation device to collect liquid and gas.
