  • Patent number: 11884876
    Abstract: A chemical compositional to be pumped throughout the stimulation job, which includes while pumping proppant. The surfactant within the chemical composition causes the chemistry to adhere to the proppant, and the surfactant should be added into the stimulation job while the proppant is being pumped because the proppant is water-wet and free of any produced oil to decrease the amount of water flowing through the proppant while allowing vicious oil to flow through the proppant.

  • Publication number: 20210047553
    Abstract: Drilling fluids having improved rheology under downhole temperature and pressure. The improved rheology (IR) drilling fluids are particularly suited for use in deepwater drilling operations. The IR drilling fluids are invert emulsion fluids with viscosifier to rheology modifier weight ratios between about 6 and about 14. The IR drilling fluids exhibit low shear yield point variance and/or yield point variance of below 60 percent based on high-temperature, high-pressure viscometer measurements.

  • Publication number: 20190055656
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of electroreducing carbon dioxide (CO2). The method of electroreducing carbon dioxide may include feeding a first stream comprising carbon dioxide into a chamber through a chamber inlet, the chamber containing a gas diffusion cathode and a gas diffusion anode; feeding a second stream comprising glycerol or glucose into the chamber, the second stream having a pH of 12 to 14; and applying an electrical potential between the gas diffusion anode and the gas diffusion cathode to reduce the carbon dioxide and oxidize the glycerol or glucose.
