Abstract: Compositions and methods for increasing a stimulated reservoir volume in a hydrocarbon-bearing formation in fluid communication with a wellbore, one method including drilling a plurality of lateral extensions at varying depths in the formation extending from a vertical wellbore using slickwater hydraulic fracturing fluid, the slickwater hydraulic fracturing fluid comprising at least one friction reducer; and injecting an exothermic reaction component into the plurality of lateral extensions to create a plurality of fractures extending outwardly from and between the plurality of lateral extensions to create a multilateral fracture network.

Abstract: A laminated module envisaged for use thereof as a work and/or decorative surface and to a method of manufacturing the same are described. The module includes a laminated board, a first pair of side battens, and a first pair of front battens, wherein the side battens are attached to one another and to a beveled side edge of the board and the front battens are attached to one another and to a beveled front edge of the board.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an instrument for marking and environmental monitoring in regatta courses. Incorporated by inflatable pneumatic platform and modular mast, foldable and transportable in compact packing of reduced size. It is intended to simultaneously define the area of conducting such nautical trials, at the same time as the environmental conditions thereof are characterized, in both meteorological and oceanographic terms. The system comprises an inflatable pneumatic float (1) and a support structure—mast—(2), which serves to hold the meteorological (3) and oceanographic (6) instrumentation, as well as the group of elements intended for communications (4), electromechanical components (5) and anchorage system (7). The marked modular level and reduced weight thereof, allow handling from craft of reduced cargo-carrying capacity without the help of additional infrastructures, which has a close relationship with the degree of variability in the regatta courses when competitions are under way.
