Abstract
Methods for initiating chemical reactions in a wellbore include delivering one or more reactive components via a carrier fluid to the wellbore. The one or more reactive components delivered to the wellbore are configured to enable one or more chemical reactions to occur. The one or more chemical reactions are carried out until a threshold volume of the one or more reactive components is delivered to the wellbore.
Claims10
A method for initiating chemical reactions in a wellbore, comprising:
- delivering one or more reactive components via a carrier fluid to the wellbore;
- generating electricity in the wellbore, wherein the electricity is configured to cause the one or more reactive components to initiate the one or more chemical reactions;
- and
- carrying out the one or more chemical reactions until a threshold volume of the one or more reactive components is delivered to the wellbore.
A method for initiating chemical initiations in a wellbore, comprising:
- delivering one or more reactive components to the wellbore;
- reducing a particle size associated with the one or more reactive components, wherein reducing the particle size of the reactive components increases a sensitivity property of the one or more components;
- and
- carrying out the one or more chemical reactions until a threshold volume of the one or more reactive components is delivered to the wellbore.
