Patent number: 7850855Abstract: The present invention relates to methods of using recycled rubber including recycled rubber from tires to absorb hydrocarbons. The method is particularly applicable to absorbing waste or contaminating hydrocarbons from solid surfaces or particles where hydrocarbons may have been spilt or otherwise have contaminated the surfaces. The methods may also be used for removing spilt hydrocarbons from a liquid such as crude oil spills at sea.Type: GrantFiled: May 15, 2009Date of Patent: December 14, 2010Assignee: Engineered Drilling Solutions Inc.Inventors: Daniel Guy Pomerleau, Kenneth William Gibbs

Patent number: 7795184Abstract: A method of altering the properties of a drilling fluid includes adding effective amounts of crushed or whole oilseeds or mixtures of crushed or whole oilseeds to a drilling fluid. The crushed or whole oilseeds or mixture of crushed or whole oilseeds are selected to impart any one of or a combination of effects including but not limited to: an increase in drilling fluid emulsion stability in oil-based or invert emulsion fluids, decreased specific gravity of the drilling fluid, seepage loss control, filtration control, oil wetting and deflocculation/dispersion, of entrained solids and/or reduced torque and drag of the drilling string.Type: GrantFiled: June 1, 2009Date of Patent: September 14, 2010Assignee: Engineered Drilling Solutions, Inc.Inventor: Daniel Guy Pomerleau
