  • Patent number: 11933154
    Abstract: Methods and systems for delivering well stimulation materials to a wellbore using a high-pressure delivery manifold are provided. In some embodiments, the methods of the present disclosure include: providing a pressurizable delivery manifold at a well site, wherein the pressurizable delivery manifold is continuously equalized with a piping system; providing a pressurized treatment fluid to the pressurizable delivery manifold; releasing one or more well stimulation materials into the pressurized treatment fluid to create a payload delivery treatment fluid; and injecting the payload delivery treatment fluid into at least a portion of a subterranean formation.

  • Patent number: 10954768
    Abstract: A method of fracturing a subterranean formation to produce fluid from a reservoir through a wellbore includes flowing a treating fluid into the wellbore to create fractures in the formation, selectively flowing a flow constraint material (FCM) into the wellbore simultaneously with the treating fluid, pausing the flow of the FCM while maintaining the flow of the treating fluid, monitoring a parameter of the formation to determine whether the parameter is within a range, resuming the flow of the FCM when the parameter of the formation is out of the range, ceasing the flow of the FCM when the parameter of the formation is in the range, where a system strain increase is about 0.0003 or less when the parameter of the formation is in range, and where the flow of the flow constraint material partially constrains the treating fluid from entering at least one of the fractures.

  • Patent number: 10267133
    Abstract: Systems and methods for fracturing an interval of a subterranean formation to produce fluid from a reservoir through a wellbore. A treating fluid flows into the wellbore to create fractures in the formation. A flow constraint material is selectively flowed into the wellbore simultaneously with the treating fluid. A parameter of the formation is monitored to determine whether a formation system strain is within a range. When the formation system strain is out of the range, the flow of the flow constraint material is adjusted. The flow constraint material partially constrains the treating fluid from entering a fracture so as to at least partially redistribute the treating fluid to an another fracture or fractures.
