  • Publication number: 20250265396
    Abstract: A chemo-mechanical change prediction system includes a characterization module operable to receive characterization information of a cement sample, a digital twin builder operable to receive 2D micro-CT data of a cement sample, the digital twin builder including an aggregator configured construct a 3D digital twin of the cement sample from the 2D micro-CT data and the characterization information. a DRP (digital rock physics) module operable to apply image-based computational techniques to the digital twin to segment various image components thereof into separate label fields for quantitative analysis, and an analyzer configured to determine chemo-mechanical changes in the cement sample due to exposure to carbon dioxide (CO2) and/or hydrogen (H2).

  • Patent number: 12359115
    Abstract: A method of treating a subsurface formation with a coated proppant includes introducing the first hydraulic fracturing composition into a wellbore and the subsurface formation through a first zone of the plurality of zones of the subsurface formation; propagating at least one subsurface fracture in the first zone with the first hydraulic fracturing composition, and wherein the hydraulic fracturing composition includes a fluid medium and a first coated proppant dispersed within the fluid medium, the first coated proppant including: a particulate substrate; a first polymeric layer surrounding the particulate substrate, the first polymeric layer including a first chemical additive; and a second polymeric layer surrounding the first polymeric layer, the second polymeric layer including a first chemical tracer, the first chemical tracer including barcoded degradable polymers, fluorescent dyes, quantum dot nanoparticles, paramagnetic nanoparticles, up-conversion phosphors, long-persistent phosphors, or time-resolve
    Type: Grant
