Use of Foam Shape Memory Polymer To Transport Acid or Other Wellbore Treatments

[0014]The present disclosure relates to devices for containing fluid and methods for transporting such devices to selected locations of a hydrocarbon-producing well. The present disclosure is susceptible to embodiments of different forms. There are shown in the drawings, and herein will be described in detail, specific embodiments of the present disclosure with the understanding that the present disclosure is to be considered an exemplification of the principles of the disclosure, and is not intended to limit the disclosure to that illustrated and described herein.

[0015]Aspects of the disclosure herein include the manufacture and use of materials (also referred to herein as “compositions”) that in one aspect are capable of being expanded to a first or original size and shape by exposing such materials to a selected form of energy and are further capable of being compressed to retain a second size and shape when the energy supply is removed. Such compositions may be placed in a wellbore
