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.

Carbon dioxide sequestered proppants for well stimulation

A missile for a hydraulic fracturing system can include a high-pressure (HP) manifold, a low-pressure (LP) manifold, and a main manifold in between. The missile is configured to simultaneously fracture three or more wells. The HP manifold has multiple input channels, an output channel, and a main channel disposed in between. The LP manifold includes a LP input channel, multiple LP output channels, and a LP manifold in between.

Systems and methods for simultaneously fracturing multiple wells from a common wellpad

The present invention relates generally to systems and processes for improved drag reduction estimation and measurement and more specifically to portable drag reduction analyzers and processes for upscaling drag reduction data for a variety of field applications. A drag reduction parameter ΔB for the fluid mixture is used for determining drag reduction for a fluid mixture in an oil field or pipeline operation.

Systems and processes for improved drag reduction estimation and measurement

A system for fracturing multiple wellbores on a multi-well pad can include a missile that receives high-pressure fracturing fluid from a plurality of pump truck. The system can also include a main manifold that receives the high-pressure fracturing fluid from the missile, where the main manifold includes multiple valves and multiple output channels, where each of the valves are operated between an open position and a closed position. The system can further include multiple wellbores including a first wellbore, a second wellbore, and a third wellbore, where the wellbores are connected to the output channels of the main manifold. The valves of the main manifold can be operated to enable simultaneous flow of the high-pressure fracturing fluid to the first wellbore, the second wellbore, and the third wellbore so that the first wellbore, the second wellbore, and the third wellbore are fractured simultaneously.
