Abstract
The subject disclosure discloses mechanisms for embedding and controlling multifunctional additives within a polymer matrix for use in oilfield applications. More particularly, the subject disclosure discloses methods of treating a subterranean formation with a polymer matrix comprising one or a plurality of polymers and one or a plurality of functional additives embedded into this polymer matrix.
Claims33
A method of producing a material for treating a subterranean formation, comprising:
- combining at least one functional additive with at least one polymer to form a polymer matrix;
- and
- processing said polymer matrix into an article characterized by a particular shape.
A composition for use in treating a subterranean formation, comprising:
- at least one functional additive with at least one polymer to form a polymer matrix;
- and
- said polymer matrix processed into an article characterized by a particular shape.
A method of treating a subterranean formation, comprising:
- providing one or a plurality of polymers;
- compounding one or a plurality of additives into the one or a plurality of polymers and forming a polymer matrix;
- processing said polymer matrix into an article having one or more shapes;
- and
- introducing said polymer matrix into a wellbore.
A method of producing a material for treating a subterranean formation, comprising:
- combining at least one functional additive with at least one polymer to form a polymer matrix;
- varying a concentration of the at least one functional additive;
- and
- processing said polymer matrix into an article characterized by a particular shape.
