Proppant Delivery
■ Compressor for dust collection in silos The automated stimulation delivery platform automates and streamlines surface operations, resulting in a smaller footprint, increased efficiencies, and reduced NPT. A combination of bulk material delivery and storage systems, equipment designed for continuous operations, automated processes, and accurate inventory management enables more-efficient, reli...
متن کاملA New Technique for Proppant Schedule Design
This study introduces a novel methodology for the design of the proppant pumping schedule for a hydraulic fracture, in which the final proppant distribution along the crack is prescribed. While the design is based on the assumption that the particles have relatively weak impact on the fracture propagation, the validity of this assumption can be tested a posteriori. This makes it possible to rel...
متن کاملOccupational Health Surveillance: Pulmonary Function Test in Proppant Exposures
Workers involved in hydraulic fracking processes are exposed to various types of chemicals and dusts in their workplaces, such as proppants, which hold open the fissures created in the fracking process. Recently, ceramic proppants have been developed that may be less hazardous to workers than traditional proppants. Pulmonary function testing of workers producing ceramic proppant was used to ass...
متن کاملSynthesis and characterization of carbon nanotube-polymer multilayer structures.
We develop lightweight, multilayer materials composed of alternating layers of poly dimethyl siloxane (PDMS) polymer and vertically aligned carbon nanotube (CNT) arrays, and characterize their mechanical response in compression. The CNT arrays used in the assembly are synthesized with graded mechanical properties along their thickness, and their use enables the creation of multilayer structures...
متن کاملCarbon Nanotube Polymer Composites
Figure2 While there are limitless applications for these materials, we are interested in radiation shielding and radiation resistant materials for use in the space industry. Initially, we focused on optically transparent single wall nanotoube (SWNT) polymer composites (2-5). Three different in situ polymerization/sonication methods, heat, light and gamma radiation, were used to produce poly (me...
