Abstract: Compositions and methods of reducing release of fugitive dust from particulate substrates are provided. The method involves applying a composition onto the substrate in an amount effective to reduce dust release and remain effective for an extended period of time, wherein the composition comprises an aqueous medium, a surface modifying agent, and a dispersant.

Abstract: Methods and compositions for suppressing fugitive dust are provided herein. To suppress fugitive dust, particulate materials, dust and or substrates can be treated with a mixture having a hydrophobizing agent and an oil. The hydrophobizing agent can be an organo- or halosilane, a tallow alkylamine, an amine-functionalized polysiloxane, or an amine-functionalized hydrophobic polymer.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to the use of dendrimers in various compositions and methods applicable in oilfield applications, such as, but not limited to, in compositions containing oilfield chemical additives for enhancing the efficacy of the oilfield chemical additives in such compositions and in compositions containing an aqueous liquid to allow the compositions to exhibit an enhanced water imbibition in a subterranean hydrocarbon-bearing formation.

Abstract: An aqueous slurry composition for use in industries such as petroleum and pipeline industries comprises an aqueous liquid, particulates, a hydrophobizing agent that renders the particulate surface hydrophobic and a hydrophobic polymer. The slurry is produced by rendering the surface of the particulate hydrophobic during or prior to making the slurry. The method and composition can find many applications in different industries, particularly in petroleum industry.

Abstract: Described is a proppant composition comprising particulates coated with a polymeric coating comprising a polymerizable natural oil, and a method of making this composition. The polymerizable natural oil is a glyceryl ester that comprises greater than about 40% by weight of polyunsaturated fatty acids, or a derivative of this ester. The proppant composition is made by mixing particulates with a polymerizable natural oil and polymerizing the polymerizable natural oil to coat the surface of the particulates with polymer comprising polymerized natural oil. The composition may be used in a slurry that is used for hydraulic fracturing operations to improve proppant transportation and to mitigate proppant flowback.

Abstract: An aqueous slurry composition for use in industries such as petroleum and pipeline industries, such as for use as a fracturing fluid. The aqueous slurry composition includes a particulate, an aqueous liquid and a chemical compound that renders the particulate surface hydrophobic. The slurry is produced by rendering the surface of the particulate hydrophobic during or prior to making the slurry.

Abstract: Particulates, such as proppants, that are coated with a coating agent selected from the group consisting of: organosilanes, organosiloxanes, polysiloxanes, long carbon chain hydrocarbon amines containing no silicon or fluoro-based groups in the molecule, amine functionalized polyolefins and polymerizable natural oils; and a chemical additive selected from the group consisting of: a scale inhibitor, a biocide, and an H2S scavenger. The coating agent controls the release of the additive from the particulate surface into surrounding fluid, providing a slow release that promotes the long lasting effect of the additive. The coated particulates have use in oilfield applications such as hydraulic fracturing operations, gravel pack operations, and in water treatment processes.
