    Abstract: A method of making a hydraulic fracturing slurry can include contacting an aqueous solution comprising calcium ions with a carbon dioxide source producing a carbonated aqueous solution. Substrate particles can be submerged in the carbonated aqueous solution to produce a calcium carbonate coated proppant wherein the carbon dioxide is sequestered in the calcium carbonate. The calcium coated proppant can be combined with hydraulic fracturing fluid to produce a hydraulic fracturing slurry. Alternatively, the calcium carbonate coated proppant can be combined with silica sand to produce a proppant composition used in a hydraulic fracturing slurry.

    Abstract: A method is described for seismic imaging improved by an estimation of attenuation including receiving a pre-migration seismic dataset D(s, r; t) representative of a subsurface volume of interest wherein s indicates source location, r indicates receiver location, and t is the recorded travel time; calculating a pre-migration attenuated travel time t*(s, r; t); computing a time derivative of the pre-migration attenuated travel time wherein 1/Q(s, r; t)=∂t*(s, r; t)/∂t; performing a first migration on D(s,r;t) to generate common image point (CIP) gathers G(x, h) wherein x is subsurface image point and h is angle or offset; performing a second migration on D(s, r; t)*1/Q(s, r; t) to generate weighted common image point (CIP) gathers G1/Q(x, h); and calculating a conditioned ratio of the weighted CIP gathers G1/Q(x, h) over the CIP gathers G(x, h) to get CIP gathers of 1/Q(x, h) is disclosed.

    Abstract: A method for evaluating a fluid to reduce a deposition of a solid within a fractured subterranean formation may include obtaining information about materials inside of a testing vessel, where the materials are designed to be representative of the fractured subterranean formation. The method may also include providing a fluid that flows through the materials inside the testing vessel for a period of time, where the testing vessel is subjected to conditions designed to be representative of downhole conditions of the fractured subterranean formation. The method may also include evaluating the material to characterize the deposition of the solid on at least some of the materials after the period of time.

    Abstract: A hydrocracking process for converting a petroleum feed to lower boiling products. The process comprises hydrotreating a petroleum feed in a pre-treating zone in the presence of hydrogen to produce a hydrotreated effluent stream comprising a liquid product. At least a portion of the hydrotreated effluent stream is then passed to an MMS catalyst zone, and then to a hydrocracking zone. In one embodiment, the MMS catalyst zone comprises a self-supported multi-metallic catalyst prepared from a precursor in the oxide or hydroxide form. The percentage work of the hydrotreating in the pre-treating zone is maintained at a level of at least 56%.
