Abstract: Proppant particulates like sand are commonly used in hydraulic fracturing operations to maintain one or more fractures in an opened state following the release of hydraulic pressure. Fracturing fluids and methods of hydraulic fracturing may also use proppant particulates composed of flexicoke material. Such proppant particulates may have improved transport into fractures because of lower density than traditional proppants like sand and may produce fewer fines that reduce fluid flow through proppant packs.

Abstract: A method for determining one or more material conditions of a hysteretic ferromagnetic material and/or a nonhysteretic material can include interrogating the hysteretic ferromagnetic material and/or the nonhysteretic material with an input time varying magnetic field and detecting a magnetic response and/or acoustic response over time from the hysteretic ferromagnetic material and/or the nonhysteretic material. The method can also include determining a time dependent nonlinear characteristic of the received magnetic response and/or acoustic response and correlating the time dependent nonlinear characteristic of the received magnetic response or acoustic response to one or more material conditions of the material.

Abstract: Provided is a method of utilizing a nondestructive evaluation method to inspect/screen steel components (like plates), steel metal pipes, and seam welds and girth welds of the pipes to identify material phases and assess material qualities. The method includes: providing a DC magnetic field from a magnet to a steel plate, pipe, or weld composed of at least one hysteretic ferromagnetic material followed by scanning the plate, pipe, or weld and recording magnetic responses from two or more suitable sensors disposed at locations with different magnetic field strengths in the regions of interest configured to receive magnetic responses; and correlating all the said received magnetic responses to one or more material qualities and/or material phases of the plate, pipe, or weld. The one or more material qualities includes regions of higher hardness, regions of metal loss, regions of surface cracks, amount of undesirable phases, and combinations thereof.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for a magneto-seismic exploration of a subsurface region. An electromagnetic source may transmit time-varying electromagnetic field into the subsurface region, in the presence of a static or time-varying magnetic field, such that a component of the electric field associated with the time-varying electromagnetic field is substantially parallel to an interface between two subsurface formations in the subsurface region, wherein the electric field interacts with the static or time-varying magnetic field and creates a Lorentz force in each of the subsurface formations. One or more seismic receivers may detect a seismic signal generated by a Lorentz force change at the interface between the two subsurface formations. A computer system may be programmed to process and present the detected seismic signal.

Abstract: A method of increasing hydrothermal stability of an adsorbent comprising a small pore cationic zeolite in a swing adsorption process is disclosed. The method comprises the steps of coating the zeolite with a silylation agent to result in a silylated zeolite; and performing the swing adsorption process. The swing adsorption process comprises contacting the silylated zeolite with feed stream comprising water. The swing adsorption process may comprise removing CO2 from a feed stream comprising CO2 and water.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to a computer-implemented method for determining intrinsic attenuation in a region of a subsurface. The method generally includes obtaining seismic data around the region of the subsurface; processing the seismic data to obtain a reflectivity spectrum in the region of the subsurface; fitting the reflectivity spectrum to analytic formulas as a function of frequency; and determining the intrinsic attenuation in the region of the subsurface based on the fitting. Other aspects of the present disclosure relate to a computer-implemented method for determining the thickness of a thin subsurface bed at a horizon of interest.

Abstract: Embodiments of an invention disclosed herein relate to methods for performing formation evaluation of a formation or formation's surrounding to identify and characterize the abundance and morphology of non-ionic conductor grains, “c-grains”, within the formations that are evaluated by formation evaluation (FE) tools. The methods and related systems as disclosed herein are directed to correcting any existing FE logs that can be adversely affected by the presence of c-grains in the detection volume of FE tools, and/or obtaining new FE information that is unavailable by the application of existing FE methods.

Abstract: Proppant particulates like sand are commonly used in hydraulic fracturing operations to maintain one or more fractures in an opened state following the release of hydraulic pressure. Fracturing fluids and methods of hydraulic fracturing may also use proppant particulates composed of fluid coke material (also referred to as fluid coke proppant particulates). In some instances, the fluid coke proppant particulates are characterized by a bulk density of less than about 0.9 grams per cubic centimeter.
