A petroleum well (20) comprises a well casing (30), a production tubing (40), a source of time-varying current (68), a downhole chemical injection device (60), and a downhole induction choke (90). The casing (30) extends within a wellbore of the well (20). The tubing (40) extends within the casing (30). The current source (68) is located at the surface. The current source (68) is electrically connected to, and adapted to output a time-varying current into, the tubing (40) and/or the casing (30), which act as electrical conductors for providing downhole power and/or communications. The injection device (60) comprises a communications and control module (80), a chemical container (82), and an electrically controllable chemical injector (84). The communications and control module (80) is electrically connected to the tubing (40) and/or the casing (30). The chemical injector (84) is electrically connected to the communications and control module (80), and is in fluid communication with the chemical container (82). The downhole induction choke (90) is located about a portion of the tubing (40) and/or the casing (30). The induction choke (90) is adapted to route part of the electrical current through the communications and control module (80) by creating a voltage potential between one side of the induction choke (90) and another side of the induction choke (90). The communications and control module (80) is electrically connected across the voltage potential. Also, a method is provided for controllably injecting a chemical into the well (20) downhole, which may be used to: improve lift efficiency with a foaming agent, prevent deposition of solids with a paraffin solvent, improve a flow characteristic of the flow stream with a surfactant, prevent corrosion with a corrosion inhibitor, and/or prevent scaling with scale preventers. | ||||||
187 | CONTROL AND MONITORING SYSTEM FOR CHEMICAL TREATMENT OF AN OILFIELD WELL | EP98922480.3 | 1998-05-21 | EP0988440B1 | 2002-10-16 | JOHNSON, Michael, H.; CLEMMIT, Alan |
A control and monitoring system for chemical system for chemical treatment of an oilfield well is presented. In accordance with the present invention, a chemical injection monitoring and control system includes the placement of one or more sensors downhole in a producing zone for measuring the chemical properties of the produced fluid as well as for measuring other downhold parameters of interest. These sensors are preferably fiber optic based and provide a high temperature, reliable, and relatively inexpensive indicator of the desired chemical parameter. Surface and/or downhold controllers receive input from the several downhole sensors; and in response thereto, control the injection of chemicals into a wellbore and/or surface treatment system. By the sensors communicating with both the surface and/or downhole controllers, the effectiveness of the downhole or surface treatment system is monitored in real-time and based on the sensed information, the controllers will initiate some change in the manner, amount, or type of the chemical being injected. | ||||||

Corrosion, scale-formation, or other deleterious processes are inhibited in an oil well by providing within the oil well (10) elements comprising an insoluble porous inorganic material in which is absorbed a well treatment chemical. The material may be in the form of particles or beads, for example porous ceramic spheres impregnated with an inhibitor material. Such particles may be injected as proppant particles into the formation through which the well extends, during a fracturing treatment. Alternatively such particles may be packed as a filter bed (26) in a filter (20) comprising two spaced tubular screens (24) between which the filter bed (26) is located. The inhibitor material gradually dissolves in the well fluids during operation, and may for example inhibit corrosion and/or scale-formation. | ||||||

193 | Method of controlling fine particulate flowback in subterranean wells | EP97307807.4 | 1997-10-02 | EP0879935A3 | 1999-02-10 | Weaver, Jim D.; Nguyen, Philip D.; Stanford, James R.; Bowles, Bobby K.; Wilson, Steven F.; Parker, Mark A.; Dewprashad, Brahmadeo |
A wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation is treated with a fluid whereby fine particulate flowback is reduced or prevented. The method includes the steps of providing a fluid suspension including a mixture of a particulate coated with a tackifying compound, pumping the suspension into a subterranean formation and depositing the mixture within the formation whereby the tackifying compound retards movement of at least a portion of any fine particulate within the formation upon flow of fluids from the subterranean formation through the wellbore. Alternatively, the tackifying compound may be introduced into a subterranean formation in a diluent containing solution to deposit upon previously introduced particulates to retard movement of such particulates and any fines subject to flow with production of fluids from the subterranean formation. |
