Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present invention disclosed a cross-linked plugging agent stimulated by high density brine which comprises: main agent: 21 wt %-53 wt %, gelling agent: 0.5 wt %-9 wt % and pure water; wherein the saline solution is selected from the group consisting of a Dipotassium phosphate (K 2 HPO 4 ), a Tripotassium phosphate (K 3 PO 4 ) and a Potassium pyrophosphate (K 4 P 2 O 7 ); the gelling agent is selected from the group consisting of a Xanthan gum and a kappa carrageenan. The gelling time is controlled within 0.5-12 h under an experiment temperature of 90° C.-160° C. The final gelling strength is controlled within D-H. The density is controlled within 1.2-1.55 g/cm 3 .

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A cross-linked plugging agent, comprising: a mixture of: 21 wt %-53 wt % of Potassium pyrophosphate (K 4 P 2 O 7 ) as a main agent; 5 wt %-9 wt % of Xanthan gum as a gelling agent; and pure water, wherein the amounts are based on the total weight of the crosslinked plugging agent, and wherein the mixture forms a high density brine. 2. The cross-linked plugging agent as recited in claim 1 , wherein a density of the cross-linked plugging agent is 1.2-1.55 g/cm 3 .
