Abstract:
A technique facilitates collecting data, related to a fracturing, run-in-hole, or pull-out-of hole operation. A frac plug is provided with electronics for obtaining the desired information related to the operation. For example, the frac plug may be constructed with electronic sensors, a digital storage device, and a power supply or other power related equipment. Depending on the application, the frac plug may be a composite frac plug, degradable frac plug, dummy frac plug, or other suitable frac plug. Retrieval of the information obtained may be done via coupling with an associated device, e.g. inductive or physical coupling, by utilizing a broadcast transmitter/receiver, by physical retrieval of the storage device, or by physical retrieval of the dummy frac plug.
Abstract:
Certain embodiments described herein are directed to silane coupling agents that may be used, for example, to covalently couple a polymer to a filler. In some examples, devices that include the polymer-silane coupling agent-filler compositions are also described.
Abstract:

Abstract:
In general, the current disclosure relates to multicomponent fibers that have accelerated degradation in water in low temperature conditions, and their various industrial, medical and consumer product uses. Such materials are especially useful for uses in subterranean wells in oil and gas production. In some embodiments, the compositions of materials have accelerated degradation even at Ultra Low Temperature (“ULT”) (≦60° C.) in subterranean formations.
Abstract:
In general, the current application relates to degradable composite and blend materials that have accelerated degradation in water in low temperature conditions, and their various industrial, medical and consumer product uses. In some embodiments, the degradable composite composition comprises a degradable polymer mixed with discrete particles of a filler that acts to accelerate the degradation of the degradable polymer. Such materials degrade in 60 C water in less than 30 days,

Certain embodiments described herein are directed to silane functionalized fillers that may be, for example, covalently coupled to a polymer. In some examples, devices that include the filler reinforced polymer compositions are also described.
Abstract:
An elastomeric compound having an elastomer matrix and a ultra high molecular weight filler material dispersed throughout the elastomer matrix. Mechanical and thermal manipulation of the elastomeric compound causes the ultra high molecular weight filler material to deform to have a higher aspect ratio, thereby increasing the mechanical strength of the elastomeric compound.
