  • DOWNHOLE CHEMICAL DELIVERY FOR OIL AND GAS WELLS
    Publication number: 20160177175
    Abstract: A method of reducing the cost and environmental impact of chemicals used in hydraulic fracturing is to use a proppant that is coated with at least two chemicals, where each of those chemicals are useful in treating a well. By coating at least two chemicals onto the proppant the amounts of chemicals required to treat a well are reduced by delivering the chemicals to only the areas that require treatment. Additionally mixing issues are avoided as only a single proppant or substrate is used in the well.
    Type: Application

  • Circulated heated transfer fluid systems used to treat a subsurface formation
    Patent number: 8267185
    Abstract: A method for heating a subsurface formation includes applying heat from a plurality of heaters to at least a portion of the subsurface formation. A portion of one or more of the heaters are allowed to move relative to the heaters respective wellhead using sliding seals to accommodate thermal expansion of the heaters.
