Appl. No.:

17/706688

International Classification:

C09K 8/80
E21B 43/267
E21B 43/26
C09K 8/66
E21B 47/11

Abstract:

A composition and method for hydraulically fracturing an oil or gas well to improve the production rates and ultimate recovery using a porous ceramic proppant infused with a chemical treatment agent is provided. The chemical treatment agent may be a tracer material that provides diagnostic information about the production performance of a hydraulic fracture stimulation by the use of distinguishable both water soluble and hydrocarbon soluble tracers. The tracer can be a biological marker, such as DNA. The porous ceramic proppant can be coated with a polymer which provides for controlled release of the chemical treatment agent into a fracture or well bore area over a period of time.

Mark CONNER - Coraopolis PA, US

International Classification:

E21B 43/267
E21B 43/04
E21B 43/08
C09K 8/80

Abstract:

The present invention relates to methods for hydraulically fracturing a subterranean formation to improve the production rates and ultimate recovery by contacting unconsolidated resin-coated proppant particulates residing in a propped fracture with a reactive crosslinker in order to form a consolidated proppant pack. The present invention also relates to methods for use in water injection wells to consolidate the resin-coated proppant particulates in a gravel packed or frac packed region of a wellbore.

B65D 90/08

US Classification:

220 412

Abstract:

In an exemplary embodiment, a modular secondary containment unit is adapted to surround an above-ground fluid storage tank and includes a plurality of corner assemblies. Two or more components of each of the corner assemblies are composed of one or more reinforced resin composite materials. In several exemplary embodiments, the modular secondary containment units and the above-ground fluid storage tanks are used in oil and gas exploration and production operations. In an exemplary embodiment, an assembly for a modular secondary containment unit includes a track segment including first and second channels, a wall segment mounted on the track segment and extending within the first channel of the track segment, and a brace engaged with the wall segment and extending within the second channel of the track segment. In an exemplary embodiment, a method of constructing a modular secondary containment unit is provided.
