Abstract

The present invention relates to compositions and use of fluidized polymer suspensions containing allyloxy linkage and its functional derivatives, and water soluble polymers for use in oil field applications as fluid additives for drilling and cementing processes.

Claims (27)

1. An aqueous fluidized polymer suspension for use in oilfield applications, comprising:

an allyloxy based co-polymer;

a water soluble polymer;

a salt; and

water;

wherein the water soluble polymer is selected from the group consisting of hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC), carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), guar, guar derivatives and xanthan and wherein the allyloxy based co-polymer and the water soluble polymer are in dispersed in the water containing the salt.

2. The aqueous fluidized polymer suspension of claim 1 , wherein the water soluble polymer comprises HEC.

3. The aqueous fluidized polymer suspension of claim 1 , wherein the water soluble polymer comprises guar.

4. The aqueous fluidized polymer suspension of claim 1 , wherein the salt is selected from the group consisting of di-potassium phosphate, diammonium phosphate, sodium thiosulfate, boric acid, sodium formate, potassium formate, magnesium sulfate, cesium formate, potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, diammonium sulfate, potassium acetate, sodium acetate and cesium acetate.

5. The aqueous fluidized polymer suspension of claim 4 , wherein salt is in a range of about 2 wt % to less than about 30 wt % of the aqueous fluidized polymer suspension.

6. The aqueous fluidized polymer suspension of claim 5 , wherein salt is in the range of about 5 wt % to 10 wt % of the aqueous fluidized polymer suspension.

7. The aqueous fluidized polymer suspension of claim 1 , wherein the water soluble polymer is in a range of about 1 wt % to 20 wt % of the aqueous fluidized polymer suspension.

8. The aqueous fluidized polymer suspension of claim 2 , wherein the salt is selected from the group consisting of di-potassium phosphate, diammonium phosphate, sodium thiosulfate, boric acid, sodium formate, potassium formate, magnesium sulfate, cesium formate, potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, diammonium sulfate, potassium acetate, sodium acetate and cesium acetate and wherein the salt is in a range of about 2 wt % to less than about 30 wt % of the aqueous fluidized polymer suspension.

9. The aqueous fluidized polymer suspension of claim 8 , wherein the salt comprises sodium formate.

10. An oil-well servicing fluid comprising:

a. an aqueous fluidized polymer suspension; and

b. a particulate component

wherein the aqueous fluidized polymer suspension further comprises an allyloxy based co-polymer, a salt, water, and a water soluble polymer selected from the group consisting of hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC), carboxymethylcellulose (CMC), guar, guar derivatives and xanthan.

11. The oil-well servicing fluid of claim 10 wherein the water soluble polymer comprises HEC.

12. The oil-well servicing fluid of claim 10 , wherein the water soluble polymer comprises guar.

13. The oil-well servicing fluid of claim 10 , wherein the salt is selected from the group consisting of di-potassium phosphate, diammonium phosphate, sodium thiosulfate, boric acid, sodium formate, potassium formate, magnesium sulfate, cesium formate, potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate, diammonium sulfate, potassium acetate, sodium acetate and cesium acetate.

14. The oil-well servicing fluid of claim 13 , wherein the salt is in a range of about 1 wt % to less than about 30 wt % of the aqueous fluidized polymer suspension.

15. The oil-well servicing fluid of claim 14 , wherein the salt is in the range of about 5 wt % to 10 wt % of the aqueous fluidized polymer suspension.

16. The oil-well servicing fluid of claim 10 , wherein the water soluble polymer is in a range of about 1 wt % to 20 wt % of the aqueous fluidized polymer suspension.

17. The oil-well servicing fluid claim 10 , wherein the particulate component is selected from the group consisting of cement, silica flour, fumed silica, pozzoline, sodium silicate, calcium carbonate, barite, hematite and clay.

18. The oil-well servicing fluid of claim 10 , wherein the particulate component comprises cement.

19. The oil-well servicing fluid of claim 18 , wherein the salt comprises sodium formate.
