Abstract
A method of servicing a wellbore in a subterranean formation comprising placing a first wellbore servicing fluid comprising a self-degrading diverter material into the wellbore wherein the self-degrading diverter materials comprises (i) a diverting material and (ii) a degradation accelerator; allowing the self-degrading diverter material to form a diverter plug at a first location in the wellbore or subterranean formation; diverting the flow of a second wellbore servicing fluid to a second location in the wellbore or subterranean formation; and removing the diverter plug, wherein the first and second wellbore servicing fluids may be the same or different.
Claims21
A method of servicing a wellbore in a subterranean formation comprising:
- placing a first wellbore servicing fluid comprising a self-degrading diverter material into the wellbore wherein the self-degrading diverter material is a composite comprising (i) a diverting material and (ii) a degradation accelerator;
- allowing the self-degrading diverter material to form a diverter plug at a first location in the wellbore or subterranean formation;
- diverting the flow of a second wellbore servicing fluid to a second location in the wellbore or subterranean formation;
- and
- removing the diverter plug, wherein the first and second wellbore servicing fluids may be the same or different.
A method of servicing a wellbore in a subterranean formation comprising:
- placing a wellbore servicing fluid into the subterranean formation at a first location;
- plugging the first location with a self-degrading diverter material that is a composite comprising a diverting material and a degradation accelerator such that all or a portion of the wellbore servicing fluid is diverted to a second location in the subterranean formation;
- placing the wellbore servicing fluid into the subterranean formation at the second location;
- and
- allowing the self-degrading diverter material to degrade to provide a flowpath from the subterranean formation to the wellbore for recovery of resources from the subterranean formation.
