Publication number: 20260117116Abstract: 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.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2024Publication date: April 30, 2026Inventors: Robert DUENCKEL, Mark CONNER, Chad CANNAN, Daniel CADY, Joshua LEASURE, Thu LIENG, Todd ROPER, Peter A.

Publication number: 20090185188Abstract: A simple pass-fail tool that can be used to test the particulate contamination level in a fluid. The tool relies upon a comparison between a measured indicator of the contamination level in the fluid with another indicator of a contamination level of the fluid. Based on the comparison, conclusions about the contamination level of the fluid, and decisions about the fluid, for example that the fluid is acceptable for a particular use, can be made. The fluid can be fuel, lubrication, power transfer, heat exchange or other fluids used in a fluid system, for example fuel injection systems of diesel engines or hydraulic systems, where contamination of the fluid is of concern and use of an excessively contaminated fluid is to be avoided.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 22, 2008Publication date: July 23, 2009Applicant: CUMMINS FILTRATION IP, INC.Inventors: Barry Verdegan, Brian Clary, Molly Debilzen, Daniel Cady
