Patent number: 11572776Abstract: Hydraulic fracturing a subterranean formation with frac fluid, the hydraulic fracturing including complex shear fracturing of the subterranean formation. The technique includes determining an amount of the complex shear fracturing occurring, and adjusting operating parameters of the hydraulic fracturing to increase the complex shear fracturing occurring. The amount may consider fracture surface area. The adjusting may consider resonant frequency of the subterranean formation rock being fractured. The complex shear fracturing may assist with diffusion production. The techniques may include a non-transitory, computer-readable medium having instructions executable by a processor of a computing device to facilitate the aforementioned actions.Type: GrantFiled: May 27, 2022Date of Patent: February 7, 2023Assignee: Shea Frac Group, LLCInventors: Wesley W. Johnson, Danny C. Phillips

Patent number: 11365618Abstract: Hydraulic fracturing a subterranean formation including to count the number and types of fractures created in real time. The hydraulic fracturing involves injecting a frac slurry having frac fluid and proppant through a wellbore into the subterranean formation, hydraulic fracturing the subterranean formation with the frac slurry, and observing change in fracture counts with changes in proppant size and proppant concentration in the frac slurry. The hydraulic fracturing includes shear fracturing the rock in the subterranean formation. Operating parameters of the hydraulic fracturing may be adjusted in real time to increase the amount of shear fracturing occurring per unit time. Such adjusting may be based on resonant frequency at which the rock fractures with destruction as super shearing.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 2021Date of Patent: June 21, 2022Assignee: Shear Frac Group, LLCInventors: Wesley W. Johnson, Danny C. Phillips

Patent number: 11000585Abstract: The majority of the mortality observed in young pigs occurs between three and five weeks post-weaning for S. suis infections and between four and six weeks post-weaning for H. parasuis and Actinobacillus suis infections. Clinical disease control associated with S. suis, A. suis and H. parasuis has been attempted using antibiotic treatment, by controlled exposure with live organisms, and by vaccination, using either inactivated commercial or autogenous bacterins administered parenterally. A similar lack of protection in very young pigs is observed with various viruses including swine influenza virus, porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus, porcine epidemic diarrhea virus and rotavirus. Disclosed herein is an immunogenic composition comprising inactivated antigens and a mucosal adjuvant.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2019Date of Patent: May 11, 2021Assignee: Phibro Animal Health CorporationInventors: Grant Weaver, Jeffrey Alan Kula, Boh Chang Lin, Karen Brown, Wesley W.
