Patent number: 8522875Abstract: The invention describes improved fracturing compositions, methods of preparing fracturing compositions and methods of use. Importantly, the subject invention overcomes problems in the use of mists as an effective fracturing composition particularly having regard to the ability of a mist to transport an effective volume of proppant into a formation. As a result, the subject technologies provide an effective economic solution to using high ratio gas fracturing compositions that can be produced in a continuous (i.e. non-batch) process without the attendant capital and operating costs of current pure gas fracturing equipment.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2012Date of Patent: September 3, 2013Assignee: Calfrac Well Services Ltd.Inventors: Timothy Tyler Leshchyshyn, Peter William Beaton, Thomas Michael Coolen

Patent number: 8387699Abstract: Coal friendly, non-toxic, green fracturing compositions, methods of preparing fracturing compositions and methods of use in various fracturing applications are described. The compositions are characterized as non-toxic compositions enabling effective use of the fracturing compositions in coal bed methane (CBM) formations and particularly shallow CBM formations. The compositions include a liquid component (water-based component) and a gas component in proportions that can support a proppant under turbulent conditions and that promote the formation of a mist.Type: GrantFiled: July 27, 2009Date of Patent: March 5, 2013Assignee: Calfrac Well Services Ltd.Inventors: Timothy Tyler Leshchyshyn, Peter William Beaton, Thomas Michael Coolen

Patent number: 7786742Abstract: An apparatus and method for testing large area substrates is described. The large area substrates include patterns of displays and contact points electrically coupled to the displays on the large area substrate. The apparatus includes a prober assembly that is movable relative to the large area substrate and/or the contact points, and may be configured to test various patterns of displays and contact points on various large area substrates. The prober assembly is also configured to test fractional sections of the large area substrate positioned on a testing table, and the prober assembly may be configured for different display and contact point patterns without removing the prober assembly from the testing table.Type: GrantFiled: May 9, 2007Date of Patent: August 31, 2010Assignee: Applied Materials, Inc.Inventors: Sriram Krishnaswami, Matthias Brunner, William Beaton, Yong Liu, Benjamin M. Johnston, Hung T. Nguyen, Ludwig Ledl, Ralf Schmid

Publication number: 20060130546Abstract: A method for producing a fertilizer containing organics is described. The method comprises the steps of: a) industrially processing organic material biologically to form an activated sludge or a humus like material; b) removing water from the humus like material to form a synthetic humus and a first intermediate water stream; and c) forming the synthetic humus into agglomerates wherein the agglomerates are suitable for transportation and large scale application as a fertilizer. The method allows the production of organic fertilizers on an industrial scale and allows the products produced by the method to be utilised in composing green waste.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 21, 2003Publication date: June 22, 2006Inventors: William Beaton, Charles William Blandy

Publication number: 20050223823Abstract: A container for receiving fluids comprises a body having opposite ends and at least one wall defining an interior space. At least one seal defines a sealed chamber within the interior space of the body. Each seal is recessed from one of the ends of the body and has a sealing connection with the wall of the body. A cap sealingly closes each end of the body having a seal recessed therefrom.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 7, 2005Publication date: October 13, 2005Applicant: Sigma-Aldrich Co.Inventor: William Beaton
