  • Shale stabilization fluids
    Patent number: 10793765
    Abstract: A method for treating a subterranean formation containing shale includes introducing to the subterranean formation a shale stabilizer, a surfactant, and a triggering agent simultaneously with or prior to introducing an alkali silicate to the subterranean formation, and allowing the alkali silicate and triggering agent to react to form a reaction product. Methods include coating the surface of at least a portion of the shale with the reaction product.

  • USE OF REACTIVE SOLIDS AND FIBERS IN WELLBORE CLEAN-OUT AND STIMULATION APPLICATIONS
    Publication number: 20110186293
    Abstract: A method and apparatus to treat a subterranean formation including introducing a fluid comprising degradable material into a wellbore, contacting a surface of the wellbore with the fluid, and stimulating a surface of a subterranean formation, wherein the contacting the wellbore surface and stimulating the formation occur over a time period that is tailored by the properties of the degradable material. In some embodiments, the properties of the degradable material include a chemical composition, a surface area, a geometric shape of a particle of the material, a concentration of the material in the fluid, a density of the material, a dimension of a particle of the material, or a combination thereof.

  • Method of reinforcing wood beams and wood beams made therefrom
    Patent number: 5497595
    Abstract: A reinforced wood beam has a length and a longitudinally extending upper and lower surface. The upper and lower surfaces have a plurality of reinforcements. Each reinforcement comprises a steel strip bonded within a longitudinally extending kerf. The upper and lower surfaces each has at least two kerfs extending therealong and terminate intermediate of ends of the wood beam.
