    GENERAL PRIOR ART
    During drilling a well, different fluids are typically used in the wellbore for a variety of functions. The fluids can be circulated into the bore through a drill pipe and drill bit and then subsequently flow up through the bore to the surface. During this circulation, drilling fluid can act to move cuttings from the bottom of the borehole to the surface, to suspend cuttings and weighting substances when the circulation is interrupted, to control the pressure below the surface, to maintain the integrity of the drilling, until the wellbore section is cased and cemented, that the fluids are isolated from the formation by providing sufficient hydrostatic pressure, that formation fluids are prevented from entering the well, that the drill string and drill bit are cooled and lubricated, and / or that the rate of penetration is maximized.
    In order for a drilling fluid to perform these functions and to continue drilling, the drilling fluid must remain in the borehole. Undesirable formation conditions are often encountered where significant amounts or, in some cases, drilling fluid can or may be lost to the formation. Drilling fluid can exit the borehole through large or small cracks or fractures in the formation, or through a highly porous rock matrix surrounding the borehole.
    Lost circulation is a recurring drilling problem that is characterized by the loss of drilling mud from underground formations. However, other fluids besides "drilling fluid" may also be lost, including completion, drilling, production fluid, etc. Lost circulation can of course occur in formations that are fractured, highly permeable, porous, cavernous, or glandular. These earth formations can include slate, sand, gravel, mussel beds, reef deposits, limestone, dolomite and chalk.

    Providing effective fluid loss control without damaging formation permeability in completion processes has been a key requirement for an ideal fluid loss control pill. Conventional fluid loss control pills include oil-soluble resins, calcium carbonate, and graded salt fluid loss additives that have been used with varying degrees of fluid loss control. These pills achieve their fluid loss control through the presence of solvent-specific solids, the functionality of which relies on the formation of filter cakes on the surface of the formation to prevent flow into and through the formation. However, these additives can cause severe damage in areas near the borehole after their application. This damage can reduce the level of production if the original level of formation permeability is not restored. The filter cake is also removed at an appropriate point in the completion process to restore the original level of permeability to the formation.
    The use of such conventional fluid loss additives can result in long cleaning times after use. Fluid circulation, which in some cases cannot be achieved, can provide a high driving force that allows diffusion to help dissolve the concentrated accumulation of materials. Graduated salt particles can be removed by circulating unsaturated saline to dissolve the particles. In the case of a gravel heap, when this occurs before the gravel heap, the circulating fluid often causes the formation to detach into the borehole and yet another loss of fluids to the formation.
    In addition, under HTHP conditions, polymeric materials that are used to viscosify well fluids and provide a measure of fluid loss control can be degraded, which can cause changes in the rheology of the fluid and can be an additional burden on the well equipment. Exposure to HTHP conditions can have an adverse effect on viscosifiers, resulting in loss of viscosity of the fluid at high temperatures. Special additives for HTHP conditions often contain polymers

    Materials that are exceptionally resistant to extreme conditions but may require special cleaning fluids to remove them. For example, many celluloses and cellulose derivatives that are used as viscosifiers and fluid loss control agents are degraded at temperatures around 200 ° F (93.3 ° C) and higher. On the other hand, hydroxyethyl cellulose (HEC) is considered to be sufficiently stable to be used in an environment of no more than about 225 ° F (107.2 ° C). Because of the high temperature, high shear, high pressures, and low pH to which the downhole fluids are exposed, xanthan gum is also said to be stable in an environment of no more than about 290 (143.3 ° C) to 300 ° F viewed (148.8 ° C). However, the thermal stability of polymers such as xanthan gum can also contribute to decreased well productivity. As a result, expensive and often corrosive crusher fluids have been developed to break filter cakes and residues left by these polymers, but aside from the cost, the crusher can also result in incomplete removal and be dangerous or ineffective under HTHP conditions.

    DETAILED DESCRIPTION
    In general, embodiments disclosed herein relate to fluid loss pills, saline viscosifiers, fluid loss additives, and other methods of forming and using the same. More specifically, embodiments disclosed herein relate to compositions, such as fluid loss pills, formed from an aqueous base fluid, a cross-linked polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), and a betaine-based polymer. The inventors of the present disclosure have found that the combination of two gelling materials, namely a cross-linked PVP and a betaine-based polymer, can result in fluid loss pills that exhibit improved thermal stability as well as viscosity and gel strength.
    One of the components of the fluid loss pill of the present disclosure is a gelling material. Gelling materials suitable for use in formulating the fluid loss pill of the claimed subject matter can be selected from the group of cross-linked PVP and betaine-based polymers. The crosslinked PVP polymer, in accordance with the present disclosure, can be added to an aqueous base fluid to alter or maintain the rheological properties of the fluid so that suspension properties for solids (including weighting material, bridging agent or cuttings) or other components in the fluid are maintained. In some embodiments, crosslinked PVP polymers may include PVP homopolymers, copolymers, or block copolymers that have one
    5/22 • · · · · ······ · · · • · · · · ····· • ·· · · ··· * ····· • · · · · · · · · • · · ♦ ······ · · or multiple PVP domains that have been cross-linked using different chemical reagents.
    Cross-linked PVP polymers can include cross-linking via intramolecular covalent chemical bonds that, unlike ionic bonds, are not affected by salt or pH conditions. The crosslinked PVP can have a percentage of intermolecular crosslinking that ranges from 0.25% to 10% in some embodiments and from 0.5% to 5% in other embodiments.
    In one embodiment, the crosslinked PVP polymer can be used in a concentration that is lower than a lower limit selected from the group of 0.5 Ib / bbl (1.4 kg / m 3 ), 1 Ib / bbl (2.8 kg / m 3 ), 2.5 Ib / bbl (7.1 kg / m 3 ) and 3 Ib / bbl (8.5 kg / m 3 ), up to an upper limit, selected from the group 5 Ib / bbl (14.2 kg / m 3 ), 10 Ib / bbl (28.5 kg / m 3 ), 12 Ib / bbl (34.2 kg / m 3 ) and 15 Ib / bbl (42.7 kg / m 3 ), where the concentration can range from any lower limit to any upper limit. The amount used can vary depending on the type of borehole fluid, the contamination and the temperature conditions.
    According to the present embodiments, a mixture of at least two gelling materials can be used. In such embodiments, the blend may include a cross-linked PVP polymer used in conjunction with a betaine-based polymer that is not cross-linked. The inventors of the present disclosure have found that both types of polymers can interact with one another, thereby imparting fluid loss pills with improved viscosification and fluid loss control properties. According to various embodiments, the ratio between the cross-linked PVP and the betaine-based polymer may be about 12 to 10 PVP to betaine.
    In one or more embodiments, the betaine-based polymer that has been found useful in the present disclosure is an acrylate derivative of betaine, such as
    6/22 ·· ·· ·· ···· · · «···« · · · · • · · · · ····· • · · · · * ········ • · · · · ·· · · ·· ·· ···· ·· · · a copolymer of 2- (methacryloxy) ethyl) dimethyl- (3-sulfopropyl) ammonium and polyacrylamide. In a further embodiment, the betaine-based polymer can have a 2- (methacryloxy) ethyl) dimethyl- (3-sulfopropyl) ammonium content in the range from about 8% to about 12%. In one or more embodiments, the betaine-based polymer can be used in a range of about 5 to 20 pounds per barrel.
    In various embodiments, the cross-linked PVP and / or betaine-based polymer may be dispersed in a non-aqueous solvent, such as a glycol, prior to addition to a base fluid to aid in hydration and dispersion of the polymers. The amount of glycol to be used in each pill may depend on the particular formation to be clogged to effectively control fluid loss. Solvents here can be polyethers, including but not limited to dipropylene glycol methyl ether, dipropylene glycol, tripropylene glycol, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether.
    As mentioned above, the fluid loss pill may include an aqueous base fluid. The base aqueous fluid of the present disclosure may be water or saline. Saline solutions are commonly used as borehole fluids because they have a large density range and are essentially free of suspended solids. In addition, saline solutions are often used to achieve a suitable density for use in drilling operations. An additional advantage of using saline solutions is that saline solutions typically do not damage certain types of underground formations.
    In those embodiments of the disclosure in which the aqueous base fluid is a saline solution, the saline solution is water that includes an inorganic salt or an organic salt. The salt can serve to provide a desired density (to balance formation pressure) and can also reduce the effect of the water-based fluid on hydratable clays and shales encountered during drilling. In various embodiments, the
    7.22
    ·· ··• • • • • · • •9>• • • • • • • < • · • • • · • • ·•• • ·• M••
    Saline metal salts include, but are not limited to, transition metal salts, alkali metal salts, alkaline earth metal salts, and mixtures thereof. In one or more embodiments, the salt solution can be selected from the group of halide salt solutions. For example, the saline solution can include zinc halides, calcium halides, and mixtures thereof. In such embodiments, the saline solution may include zinc bromide or zinc chloride in combination with calcium bromide or calcium chloride. As mentioned above, the saline solution can also contain an organic salt such as sodium, potassium or cesium formate. The saline solution can contain the salts in conventional amounts, generally ranging from about 1% to about 80% based on the total weight of the solution, although, as will be understood by those skilled in the art, amounts outside this range can be used.
    In various embodiments, the saline solution may include sea water, aqueous solutions where the salt concentration is less than that of sea water, or aqueous solutions where the salt concentration is greater than that of sea water. Salts that can be found in sea water include, but are not limited to, sodium, calcium, aluminum, magnesium, potassium, strontium and lithium, salts of chlorides, bromides, carbonates, iodides, chlorates, bromates, formates, nitrates, oxides , Phosphates, sulfates, silicates and fluorides. Salts that can be incorporated into a saline solution include any one or more of any of the organic or inorganic dissolved salts present in natural sea water or any other.
    Although fluid loss control pill works at different saline concentrations, optimizing the saline type and concentration can determine the performance of the fluid. In one embodiment, the saline solution can range from about 11.7 to about 15.4 ppg CaBr2 and from about 14.3 to about 20.5 ppg ZnBr2. It is also contemplated that other combinations of saline solutions can be used.

    To overcome the problems of formation damage associated with standard drilling fluids, a specialty fluid with a limited amount of solids and often with degradable polymeric additives known as reservoir drill-in fluid (RDF) can be used when drilling through the deposit section of a well. In particular, RDFs can be formulated to minimize damage and maximize the output of exposed zones. In some ways, an RDF can resemble a completion fluid. For example, drilling fluids can be saline solutions that contain selected solids with suitable particle size ranges (often removable salts such as calcium carbonate) and fluid loss additives. It is also contemplated that the formulations of the present disclosure can be used as reservoir drilling fluids that balance the requirements of the reservoir with drilling and completion processes.
    The base fluid or wellbore fluid that the base fluid contains may also contain other additives and chemicals known to those skilled in the art that are commonly used in oilfield applications. A variety of compounds are typically added to the base fluids, such as saline solutions. For example, a saline-based borehole fluid may also include bridging solids, viscosifiers, corrosion inhibitors, lubricants, pH control additives, surfactants, solvents, wetting agents, weighting agents, pH control additives and buffering agents, among other additives.
    In one or more embodiments, fluid loss pills disclosed herein may include bridging solids incorporated therein to bridge or block the pores of an underground formation. For example, useful bridging solids can be solid, particulate, acid-soluble materials whose particles are sized to have a particle size distribution sufficient to seal the pores of the formations contacted by the fluid loss pill fluids. Examples of bridging solids can include calcium carbonate, limestone, marble, dolomite, iron carbonate, iron oxide and the like. However, other solids can be used without departing from the scope of the present / 22 • · • ·
    To deviate from revelation. In some embodiments of the fluid loss pills disclosed herein, bridging solids can have a specific gravity of less than about 3.0 and can be sufficiently acid soluble that they readily decompose upon release of the organic acid.
    In one or more embodiments, an amine stabilizer can be used as a pH buffer and / or thermal stability range extender to prevent acid catalyzed degradation of polymers present in the liquid. A suitable amine stabilizer can include triethanolamine. However, one skilled in the art would understand that other amine stabilizers such as methyldiethanolamine (MDEA), dimethylethanolamine (DMEA), diethanolamine (DEA), monoethanolamine (MEA), cyclic organic amines, hindered amines, fatty acid amides or other suitable tertiary, secondary and primary amines and Ammonia could be used in the fluids of the present disclosure. Amine stabilizers can be added to downhole fluid in accordance with the present disclosure in a concentration ranging from 0.1 to 10 percent by weight of the downhole fluid in some embodiments and from 0.5 to 5 percent by weight of the downhole fluid in other embodiments. It is also provided that the fluid can be buffered to a desired pH, for example using magnesium oxide. The compound serves to buffer the pH of the drilling fluid and thus maintain the alkaline conditions under which the hydrolysis or degradation process of the polymers is delayed.
    According to the present embodiments, fluid loss pills can be formulated by forming a premix of a cross-linked PVP and a glycol, such as ethylene glycol. A desired amount of a first salt solution can be combined with the premix followed by the addition of a second salt solution. Then at least one betaine-based polymer can be added to the mixture. For example, in one embodiment, a salt solution of 11.7 to 15.4 ppg CaBr2 can be viscosified using a cross-linked PVP in the presence of ethylene glycol. Next, a second salt solution, such as a salt solution of 19.2 ppg zinc bromide / 22 • · • ·· · · ····· • · · · · ········· ····· · · · · • * ·· ···· ·· · · can be added to achieve a desired density. A betaine-based polymer can then be added to achieve the desired viscosity. In various embodiments, the fluid loss pills can have high thermal stability, which has particular application for use in environments up to 400 ° F (148.8 ° C). In another embodiment, the fluid loss pills of the present disclosure can be thermally stable for at least 7 days. According to various embodiments, the fluid loss pill has a density in the range of about 13.5 ppg to about 16.5 ppg, the lower limit being any one of 13.5 ppg, 15 ppg, 15.4 ppg, and the upper limit can be any one of 16 ppg, 16.2 ppg and 16.5 ppg, using any lower limit with any upper limit.
    An embodiment of the present disclosure includes a method of reducing fluid loss in a well. In such an illustrative embodiment, the method includes pumping a selected amount of a fluid loss pill into a formation, the fluid loss pill including an aqueous base fluid, a cross-linked polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), and a betaine-based polymer.
    In various embodiments, the fluid loss pill may be injected into a work string, flow to the bottom of the borehole, and then flow out of the work string and into the annulus between the work string and the casing or bore. This treatment batch is typically referred to as a "pill". The pill can be pushed into the position of the bore just beyond a portion of the formation where fluid loss is suspected by injecting other completion fluids behind the pill. The fluid loss pill can be selectively placed in the borehole, for example by spotting the pill through a coiled tubing or by bullheading. Injection of fluids into the well is then stopped and fluid loss then moves the pill towards the location of the fluid loss. Positioning the pill in such a way is often referred to as "spotting" the pill. The fluid loss pill can then react with the saline solution to form a plug in the
    11/22 • · · · · ·· · β • · · · · · · · ·· · 0
    Form near the surface of the well to reduce fluid flow into the formation.
    After completion of the drilling or completion process, filter cakes deposited by drilling and treatment fluids can be broken up by application of a breaking fluid which breaks down the components of the filter cake formed by drilling and / or a fluid loss pill. The crushing fluid may be circulated in the well during or after performing the at least one completion process. In other embodiments, the crushing fluid may be circulated either before, during, or after the start of a completion process to destroy and remove the integrity of drilling fluids remaining within tubing or liners. The crushing fluid can contribute to the breakdown and removal of the filter cake deposited on the side walls of the well to minimize adverse effects on production. After cleaning the borehole, the borehole can then go into production.
    The crushing fluids of the present disclosure can also be formulated to contain an acid source to lower the pH of the crushing fluid and aid in the degradation of filter cakes within the well. Examples of acid sources that can be used as crushing fluid additives include strong mineral acids such as hydrochloric acid or sulfuric acid, and organic acids such as citric acid, salicylic acid, lactic acid, malic acid, acetic acid and formic acid. Suitable organic acids that can be used as acid sources include citric acid, salicylic acid, glycolic acid, malic acid, maleic acid, fumaric acid and homo- or copolymers of lactic acid and glycolic acid as well as compounds containing hydroxy, phenoxy, carboxylic, hydroxycarboxylic or phenoxycarboxylic acid. Groupings included. In one or more embodiments, the circulation of an acid wash may be used before, during, or after the start of a completion process or after completion of the completion processes to at least partially dissolve some of the filter cake remaining on the borehole walls.

    Other embodiments can use crushing fluids containing hydrolyzable esters of organic acids and / or various oxidizing agents in combination with or instead of acid washing. Hydrolyzable esters that can hydrolyze to release an organic (or inorganic) acid can be used, including, for example, hydrolyzable esters of a C 1 -C 6 carboxylic acid and / or a C 2 -C 3o mono- or polyalcohol , including alkyl orthoesters. In addition to these hydrolyzable carboxylic acid esters, hydrolyzable phosphonic or sulfonic acid esters could be used, such as R 1 H2PO3, R 1 R 2 HPO3, R 1 R 2 R 3 PO3, R 1 HSO3, R 1 R 2 SO3i R 1 H2PO4, R 1 R 2 HPO4i R 1 R 2 R 3 PO4j R 1 HSO4 or R 1 R 2 SO4, where R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are C2 to C3o alkyl, aryl, arylalkyl or alkylaryl groups. An example of a suitable hydrolyzable carboxylic acid ester is available from MI-SWACO (Houston, TX) under the name D-STRUCTOR.
    In some cases, it may also be desirable to include an oxidizer in the crushing fluid to further aid in the breaking up or degradation of polymeric additives present in a filter cake. Examples of such oxidizing agents can include any of those oxidizing breakers known in the art to react with polymers such as polysaccharides to reduce the viscosity of polysaccharide-thickened compositions or to destroy filter cakes. Such compounds can include peroxides (including peroxide adducts), other compounds having a peroxy bond, such as persulfates, perborates, percarbonates, perphosphates and persilicates, and other oxidizing agents, such as hypochlorites. Furthermore, use of an oxidizing agent in a crushing fluid, in addition to affecting polymer additives, can also cause fragmentation of swollen clays, such as those that cause a bit to stick.
    It is understood that the amount of delay between the time when a breaking fluid is introduced into a wellbore in accordance with the present disclosure and the time when the fluids had the desired effect of breaking / breaking / dispersing the filter cake is several Variables / 22 depends. One skilled in the art understands that factors such as the underground temperature, the concentration of the components in the crushing fluid, the pH, the amount of water available, the filter cake composition, etc. can have an influence. For example, borehole temperatures can vary significantly from 100 ° F (37.7 ° C) to over 400 ° F (204.4 ° C) depending on the formation geology and environment. However, one skilled in the art should be able to readily determine and correlate the borehole temperature and the time of effectiveness for a given formulation of the breakdown fluids disclosed herein through trial and error tests in the laboratory. With such information, it is possible to determine in advance the time period for blocking a well at a certain well temperature and a specific formulation of the breaking fluid.
    The superior thermal stability and performance of the fluid loss pills of this disclosure in controlling fluid loss from the drilling fluid were determined by performing the following tests.
    Rheology test
    Viscosity is a measure that describes the flow properties of drilling fluids and their behavior under the influence of shear stress. With a Fann 35 viscometer, a Fann 70 viscometer, Grace viscometer, the rheological parameters, namely plastic viscosity (PV) and yield point (YP) are determined. One skilled in the art understands that the viscosity measurements depend on the temperature of the gel composition, the type of spindle and the number of revolutions per minute. Generally, an increase in plastic viscosity and yield point is proportional to an increase in the density of the drilling fluid, but the yield point increases to a lesser extent.
    Plastic viscosity test
    Plastic viscosity (PV) is a variable that is used when calculating the viscosity properties of a drilling fluid, measured in centipoise (cP),
    14/22 • · • · · · ······ ·· · • ·· · · · · · · · · · · · · ···· ···· ····· ·· · · • ········ · 9 is used. The PV is the slope of the shear stress-shear rate curve above the yield point and is derived from the measurement at 600 rpm minus the measurement at 300 rpm. Low PV indicates that the mud can drill quickly due to the low viscosity of the mud exiting the chisel. High PV is caused by a viscous base fluid and excessive colloidal solids. In order to reduce PV, the solids content can be reduced by dilution.
    Flow limit test
    The yield point (YP) is another variable used in the calculation of the viscosity properties of drilling fluids, measured in pounds per
    100 square feet (lb / 100 ft 2 ) (0.05 kg / m). The physical meaning of the yield point (YP) is the resistance to the initial flow. YP is used to assess the ability of mud to guide cuttings out of the annulus. The BinghamFluid results graphically on a curve of the shear rate (x-axis) against the shear stress (y-axis) as a straight line, where YP is the intercept at zero shear rate (PV is the slope of the straight line). YP is calculated from viscosity meter readings at 300 RPM and 600 RPM by subtracting PV from the reading at 300 RPM and is reported as lbf / 100 ft 2 . A higher YP implies that a drilling fluid has the ability to carry cuttings better than a fluid with a similar density but lower YP.
    Gelfestigkeitstest
    Gel strength (thixotropy) is the shear stress that is measured at low shear rate after a sludge has settled for a certain amount of time (10 seconds and 10 minutes in the standard API regulation, although measurements can also be carried out after 30 minutes or 16 hours ) has dormant.
