Abstract
Methods of treating a portion of a subterranean formation comprising: providing partitioned, coated particulates that comprise particulates, an adhesive substance, and a partitioning agent, and wherein the partitioning agent comprises a subterranean treatment chemical; substantially slurrying the partitioned, coated particulates in a treatment fluid to create a particulate slurry; and, placing the particulate slurry into the portion of the subterranean formation.
Claims22
A method of treating a portion of a subterranean formation comprising:
- providing partitioned, coated particulates that comprise particulates, an adhesive substance, and a partitioning agent at least partially coated onto the adhesive substance, wherein the partitioning agent comprises a subterranean treatment chemical;
- substantially slurrying the partitioned, coated particulates in a treatment fluid to create a particulate slurry;
- and,
- placing the particulate slurry into the portion of the subterranean formation.
A method of creating a propped fracture in a portion of a subterranean formation comprising:
- providing at least one fracture in the portion of the subterranean formation;
- providing partitioned, coated particulates that comprise particulates, an adhesive substance, and a partitioning agent at least partially coated onto the adhesive substance, wherein the partitioning agent comprises a subterranean treatment chemical;
- substantially slurrying the partitioned, coated particulates in a treatment fluid to create a particulate slurry;
- and,
- placing the particulate slurry into the at least one fracture in the portion of the subterranean formation so as to deposit at least a portion of the partitioned, coated particulates into the at least one fracture.
A method of gravel packing along a portion of a well bore comprising:
- providing a portion of a well bore;
- providing partitioned, coated particulates that comprise particulates, an adhesive substance, and a partitioning agent, and wherein the partitioning agent comprises a subterranean treatment chemical at least partially coated onto the adhesive substance;
- substantially slurrying the partitioned, coated particulates in a treatment fluid to create a particulate slurry;
- and,
- placing the particulate slurry into the portion of the well bore so as to deposit at least a portion of the partitioned, coated particulates into that portion and to create a gravel pack therein.
