Controlling consolidation of permeable earth formations
Patent
·
OSTI ID:5595729
An oil base driving fluid consisting of an oil phase and asphaltous plastering material is employed to drive a resin formulation into an incompetent earth formation for purposes of consolidating the formation. The driving fluid forms a filter cake or sheath at the fluid-formation interface which insures that the resin is not underdisplaced or overdisplaced. By selecting the amount of solid weighting material or asphaltous plastering material in the oil-base driving fluid a presealed amount of invasion of oil beyond the sheath is permitted, thus flushing the resin from the invaded region to insure an effective and efficient penetration into the oil-bearing formation.
