    ormation fines are ubiquitous in oil- and gas-bearing

    ndstones. Formation damage resulting from dispersion and

    igration of fines is a major concern in producing wells.

    hese fines are mineralogically diverse and become a

    oblem when they detach from pore walls, migrate with

    owing fluids and choke off pore throats. The formation

    age resulting from fines migration causes a reduction in

    ll performance. A treatment that will inhibit the migration

    fines will improve long-term well production. This paper

    sents the results of a laboratory evaluation and field case

    stories of fines control treatments in sandstone,

    rmation damage resulting from dispersion and migration of

    ays and other formation frees is a major concern. Fines

    ome a problem when they become detached from the pore

    ll and migrate through flow channels with produced fluids.

    hese mobile fines are eventually deposited in pore throats.

    lugging pore channels and causing a reduction of

    rmeability. Factors contributing to the production of fines

    clude exposure to high pH fluids, exposure to fresh (low

    linity) water, fines nettability and increased fluid

    The critical interstitial veloeity is the rate

    yond which fines detachment and migration occurs.z

    itical velocity can be used to determine injection rates used

    core flow evaluations so that fines detachment and

    gration can be controlled.

    Quaternary ammonium salts, sulfonated polymers,

    drolyzable metal ions and organosilane products have been

    used to mitigate fines migration. These chemicals

    adsorbed on the surface and prevent detachment by forming

    protective shield around negatively charged clay particl

    These additives have often been termed permanent c

    stabilizers, and when compared to stabilizers such as KCI

    IWLCI, they ean provide more than temporary c

    protection. In reality the effects of such treatments may

    much less than permanent. The potential disadvantages

    these treatments are 1) charge neutralization does not preve

    mechanical dislodgement of particles subjected to high fl

    velocities; 2) fines with low charge density (feklspars)

    not controlled effectively by charge neutralization, and

    only tempora~ control is obtained because the polyval

    ions tend to desorb over time as large volumes of fluid

    produced. 3

    Reeently, Stanley et aL4 field tested an alterna

    fines stabilizer, organosilane, with limited success. The

    limitations point toward the need for Mher research i

    fines stabilizing techniques.

    The hydrodynamic entrainment of fines can be preven

    only by coating the fines with a solid thin film that is stable

    high shear rates.3

    A novel process has been developed

    controlling the detachment and migration of formation fin

    The process is a surface adsorption polymerization (SA

    teehnique that forms a thin film that is stable at high sh

    rates, thereby effectively immobilizing the fines on the p

    wall surface.3 SAP is a three-step process that invol

    adsorption of a cationic surfactant on the porous medi

    followed by a monomer solution that preferentially resides

    the surfactant layer.

    An initiator solution is then used

    polymerize the monomer on the surface of pore wa

    forming an ultrathin film that is very stable and effectiv

    immobilizes the fines on the pore wall surface. Prelimina

    laboratory evaluations showed tines stabilization at h

    velocities and long-term effectiveness with exposure to fr

    water.3

    The treating fluids are prepared using fresh wa

    containing NaCl, NH4C1, or KCL The fluids are injec

    individually and following the sequenee of surfaeta

    monomer, and initiator. The treatment is displaced to

    perforations and the well is shut in 2 to 6 hr.

    A pump skid is used for injection. The treatment can

    (DSP) ean be used to monitor and reeord injeetion pressure

    and temperature. Ml piping, valves, tubing pumping and

    injeetion equipment are pressure and leak tested with brine or

    seawater prior to pumping treating solutions. A stepped-rate

    injeetion test with brine is performed to establish formation

    injeetivity.

    From this test, an initiaI injection rate is

    eakmlated.

    A ratio of 5:3:2 stiactant:monomecinitiator is

    recommended. Required volumes ean be calculated based on

    the volume of wufactant required to achieve desired

    penetration into the formation and the eationic exchange

    capacity of the rink, The cationic exchange capacity (CEC) is

    a routine test performed in drilling fluids. The CEC for a

    given formation is given in units of me@OO g and em be

    used to calculate the volume of surfaetant necessary for a

    given treatment.

    The CEC in meq/100 g reek must be

    converted to meq/cm3 of the reek pore volume, The porosity

    of the reek ( ) and the CEC (in meq/100 g) is needed for this

    A 2 NaCl solution was flowed in another 5.5-in. Berea

    core until a stable pmeability of 153 mD was obtained.

    SAP treatment was injeeted in reverse direction, with

    permeability values ranging fkom 113 to 132 mD during

    treatment. Volumes for the treating solutions were 50 pore

    volumes surfaetant, 30 pore volumes monomer and 20 pore

    volumes initiator. The core was shut in for 6 hr in the heated

    (60*C) core apparatus, after which a stable permeability of

    127 mD was obtained with

    27.

    NaCl solution.

    Six pore

    volumes of tlesh (deionized) water were flowed in reverse

    direction with a resulting permeability of 120 rnD. A

    regained permeability of131 IUDwas obtained with

    2 40

    solution. Seven pore volumes of flesh (deionized) water were

    flowed in forward direetio~ followed by a

    until the permeability was stable at 140 mD

    The

    above tests showed fkesh water shock caused

    significant damage to the untreated core (pereent retained

    permeability was calculated as 3%), while minimal damage

    was observed in the treated core. The treated core showed a

    retained permeability of 92% foI1owing exposure to 13 pore

    volumes fresh water (Fig. 3).

    To determine the effects of oilhrine saturation on fines

    stabilization,

    a

    3-in. Berea core was subjected to flow of oil

    and brine injected at 3 mL/min. Permeability to brine at

    residual oil saturation was obtained prior to SAP treatment by

    flowing oil through the core followed by a

    27.

    NaCl solution

    until a stable permeability was obtained. This permeability

    was considered the baseline permeability measurement which

    was used in retained permeability calculations following fresh

    water shock. SAP treatment was then applied and the core

    was shut in for 6 hr at 60C. Volumes for the treating

    solutions were 50 pore volumes sutiaetant, 30 pore volumes

    monomer and

    20 pore volumes initiator.

    Following

    treatment and a shut-in perid the core was subjeeted to 15

    pore volumes fkesh water. Subsequent flow of brine and oil

    indicated a 100Aretained permeability to brine at residuaI oil

    saturation and a 98%retained permeability to oil at residual

    brine saturation (llig. 4).

    Tests were pertiormed to determine the effectiveness of

    SAP treatment on Berea core subjected to fewer pore volumes

    of the treating solutions. Initial baseline permeabdity was

    established by ftowing 2% NaC1. SAP treatment was injected

    in reverse direetion and the core was shut in for 4 hr at 60C.

    Volumes for the first test were 25 pore volumes surfaetant,

    15 pore volumes monomer and 10 pore volumes initiator.

    Twentyseven pore volumes of deionized water (flowed

    through the core in forward direction following treatment)

    showed no deerease in pmneability. In the second test, not

    only were the injeeted pore volumes d- the

    recommended ratio of 5:3:2 (stiactant:monomer initiator)

    was modified to 5:3:1.

    In this test 10 pore volumes

    surfaetant, 6 pore volumes of monomer and 2 pore volumes of

    initiator were injeeted in reverse direetion, after which the

    core was shut in for 4 hr at 60C. Thirty-two pore volumes of

    deionized water provided no loss in core permeability

    5). This test showed that fewer pore volumes of tr

    fluids can provide an effeetive treatment even when ha

    recommended volume of initiator is injeeted.

    An alternative fines stabilization treatment was perfo

    on a 3-in. Berea core using l% organosilane (vol/vol) in

    Permeability of the core following 15 pore volumes of

    water (injeeted at 5 mIJrnin) showed a retained perme

    of 105XOwhen compared to the baseline permeability p

    treatment. A 2% NaCl brine was again flowed unti a

    permeability was obtained. Permeability to brine at re

    oil saturation was obtained by flowing oil (10 pore vol

    followed by a

    2 0

    NaCl solution to a stable permea

    From this point forward this value was used as th

    baseline permeability in retained permeability calcula

    Ten pore volumes fresh water injected at 5 mLhuin sho

    retained permeability of 67% while 10 pore volumes o

    water injected at 9 mL/min reduced the retained perme

    to 30% (Fig. 6).

    The above tests show the organosilane treatment to b

    effective in the absenee of oil.

    However, when oi

    introduced the core became sensitive to fresh water, esp

    at higher fluid veloeity, resulting in a significant redue

    permeability.

    An evaluation of SAP treatment on unconsol
