Publication number: 20150337639Abstract: A fracturing fluid mixture is used to hydraulically fracture underground formations in a reservoir, by mixing at least natural gas and a base fluid to form the fracturing fluid mixture, and injecting the fracturing fluid mixture into a well. Within the fracturing fluid mixture, the natural gas composition and content are selected such that a recovered gas component of a well stream is within the inlet specification of an existing gas processing facility, and the well stream has a wellhead flowing pressure that is sufficient to flow the well stream to surface, or have a flowing pressure that meets capture system inlet pressure requirements of the processing facility. The wellhead flowing pressure or the flowing pressure at the capture system inlet can be increased by adding natural gas to the fracturing fluid, which has the effect of reducing the bottom hole flowing pressure.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 23, 2012Publication date: November 26, 2015Applicant: MILLENNIUM STIMULATION SERVICES LTD.Inventors: Grant W.

Patent number: 7177412Abstract: The multi-media communication management system comprises a controller that interfaces with a plurality of communication space stations and with one or more communication medium service providers. The controller provides for multicasting or real time voice communications to selected recipients. To provide such multicasting, the controller receives a recipient list of subscribers to include in the multicast session. The controller identifies a communication space station serving a subscriber device associated with each recipient and invites such communication space station to the multicast session. If a recipient's subscriber device is not served by a communication space station, the multicast message is packaged as an audio file and sent to the recipient by e-mail.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2002Date of Patent: February 13, 2007Inventors: Danny L. Berlyoung, Calvin E. Lewis, Rodney A. Ross

Patent number: 6855281Abstract: In a method of forming an article of footwear, a shell is formed between at least two die portions. The shell has a flash line defined proximate an interface of the die portions and along a perimeter of the shell. The method may include coupling a component directly to the shell so that the flash line is at least in part disposed proximate or below an upper edge of the component, with the component selected from the group consisting of a midsole and an outsole. The flash line may be positioned to coincide with an edge of a ridge on the shell.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2002Date of Patent: February 15, 2005Assignee: The North Face Apparel CorpInventors: Rodney Ross Gumringer, Michael Todd Jennings
