  • Electrophilic acid gas-reactive fluid, proppant, and process for enhanced fracturing and recovery of energy producing materials
    Patent number: 9447315
    Abstract: An electrophilic acid gas-reactive fracturing and recovery fluid, proppant, and process are detailed. The fluid expands in volume to provide rapid and controlled increases in pressure that enhances fracturing in subterranean bedrock for recovery of energy-producing materials. Proppants stabilize openings in fractures and fissures following fracturing.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 4, 2014
    Date of Patent: September 20, 2016
    Assignee: BATTELLE MEMORIAL INSTITUTE
    Inventors: Carlos A. Fernandez, David J. Heldebrant, Alain H. R. Bonneville, Hun Bok Jung, Kenneth C. Carroll
