  • Publication number: 20250001818
    Abstract: A coupling system for a bolster and a clamp assembly of a saddle-mount. The coupling system includes an externally threaded member and an internally threaded member configured to threadably engage the externally threaded member. A lock plate includes an anti-rotation feature, an aperture to receive the externally threaded member, and a slot extending from an edge of the aperture. A receiving member is configured to abut the lock plate and receive the externally threaded member, wherein the receiving member is one of the bolster and the clamp assembly of the saddle-mount. A split lock washer is disposed on the externally threaded member and positioned between the lock plate and one of a head of the externally threaded member and the internally threaded member. The split lock washer cooperates with the lock plate to militate against a rotation of the externally threaded member with respect to the internally threaded member.

  • Publication number: 20240400888
    Abstract: Friction reducers can be included in a liquid concentrate for use in treatment fluids in oil and gas operations. The liquid concentrate can be a slurry and include oil or a brine as the continuous phase and the friction reducer in dry form as the dispersed phase. The liquid concentrate can be an invert emulsion and include oil as the continuous phase and water and friction reducer dissolved in the water as the dispersed phase. A suspending agent can be included in the liquid concentrate to distribute and suspend the friction reducer throughout the continuous phase. The suspending agent can form micelles that form a mesh-like network to distribute and suspend the friction reducer. A portion of the liquid concentrate can be added to a base fluid at the wellsite to form the treatment fluid. The treatment fluid can be a fracturing fluid.

  • Patent number: 11920080
    Abstract: Provided are wellbore treatment fluids and methods to introduce these treatment fluids in a subterranean formation. The treatment fluids include a diverter material and an aqueous carrier fluid. Further, the diverter material comprises a composite material of a polyvinyl alcohol and a plasticizer. The diverter material includes particles having a particle size distribution of about 2 to about 10 U.S. mesh and an aspect ratio of 20:1 or less. The treatment fluid is introduced into a permeable zone of a subterranean formation, wherein the permeable zone is part of a wellbore that is permeated or penetrated by fractures and fissures. The diverter material diverts at least partially the treatment fluid to a different portion of the subterranean formation.
