  • Patent number: 12540272
    Abstract: A variety of methods, compositions, apparatuses, and systems are disclosed, including, in one embodiment, a technique of hydraulic fracturing involving providing a fracturing fluid having capsules containing a demulsifier through a wellbore into a subterranean formation and hydraulically fracturing the subterranean formation with the fracturing fluid, wherein the fracturing fluid forms an emulsion in the subterranean formation. The technique includes releasing the demulsifier from the capsules in the subterranean formation, breaking the emulsion in the subterranean formation with the demulsifier released by the capsules, and flowing the fracturing fluid as flowback from the subterranean formation through the wellbore to surface after and/or during the breaking of the emulsion.

  • Publication number: 20250263300
    Abstract: Disclosed herein are methods and systems of powering wellbore equipment using hydrogen produced from pyrolysis of methane, and, more particularly to methods of methane pyrolysis which include capturing generated carbon nanoparticles in a separator to form a composition which includes the carbon nanoparticles. The systems include a pyrolysis unit fluidly connected to a methane feed, a separation unit fluidly connected to the pyrolysis unit, and a blending unit fluidly connected to the separation unit for blending a liquid with a solid product from the separation unit. The methods include pyrolyzing at least a portion of the methane from a methane containing stream to form a product stream comprising at least hydrogen and carbon nanoparticles and contacting at least a portion of the carbon nanoparticles with a liquid to form a composition comprising the liquid and the carbon nanoparticles.

  • Patent number: 12247165
    Abstract: Fracturing fluids for treating subterranean formations. An example fracturing fluid includes an anti-syneresis agent, a water-soluble terpolymer, a terpolymer hydration aid, an antioxidizing agent, a metal crosslinking agent, a breaker, and an aqueous base fluid. The fracturing fluid is introduced into a wellbore penetrating the subterranean formation at a pressure sufficient to fracture the subterranean formation and the subterranean formation is fractured with the fracturing fluid.

  • Patent number: 11873448
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a wellbore servicing fluid comprising a scale inhibitor, a surfactant, and an aqueous fluid comprising sulfate in an amount of from about 100 ppm to about 10,000 ppm based on the total weight of the aqueous fluid. The wellbore servicing fluid can be used as a fracturing fluid in a method of servicing a wellbore penetrating a subterranean formation. The wellbore servicing fluid can mitigate the formation of scales, prevent water blockage, and increase hydrocarbon production.

  • Patent number: 11236266
    Abstract: Methods of treating a subterranean formation. A pad fluid is introduced into a wellbore penetrating the subterranean formation to create or enhance one or more fractures in the subterranean formation. A fracturing fluid is introduced into the wellbore. The fracturing fluid includes a polymer having a hydrophobic monomer and a hydrophilic monomer. The fracturing fluid further includes a proppant and a second aqueous base fluid. The fracturing fluid does not include a crosslinker or an oxidative breaker. The fracturing fluid is broken thereby settling the proppant in the fracture.
