Abstract

A composition for hydraulic fracking is provided, which includes a proppant particle and a ground rubber tire particle.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A composition for hydraulic fracking, comprising:
 a proppant particle; and   a ground rubber tire particle.   
     
     
         2 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the proppant particle is inorganic, organic, or a combination thereof. 
     
     
         3 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the proppant particle comprises a coating. 
     
     
         4 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the proppant particle comprises a crosslinked coating. 
     
     
         5 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the proppant particle comprises a surface modifier. 
     
     
         6 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the proppant particle is uncoated. 
     
     
         7 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the proppant particle is substantially non-deformable. 
     
     
         8 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the proppant particle has a crush strength of about 2,000 to about 30,000 psi. 
     
     
         9 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the proppant particle is deformable. 
     
     
         10 . The composition of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more different proppant particles. 
     
     
         11 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the proppant particle has a size of about 70 to about 7 mm. 
     
     
         12 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the proppant particle has a mesh size of 2 to 200. 
     
     
         13 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the ground rubber tire particle comprises a coating. 
     
     
         14 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the ground rubber tire particle comprises a crosslinked coating. 
     
     
         15 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the ground rubber tire particle comprises a surface modifier. 
     
     
         16 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the ground rubber tire particle is uncoated. 
     
     
         17 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the ground rubber tire particle is further modified. 
     
     
         18 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the ground rubber tire particle is further modified with one or more of plasma treatment, corona discharge, UV assisted functionalization, halogenation, hydrosilation, grafting, fluorination, or a combination thereof. 
     
     
         19 . The composition of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more different ground rubber tire particles. 
     
     
         20 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the ground rubber tire particle has a size of about 70 μm to about 7 mm. 
     
     
         21 . The composition of  claim 1 , wherein the ground rubber tire particle has a mesh size of 2 to 200. 
     
     
         22 . The composition of  claim 1 , further comprising a fracking fluid. 
     
     
         23 . The composition of  claim 1 , which has a temperature dependent weight loss of about 30% or less over a temperature range of about 30 to about 1050° C. 
     
     
         24 . A method of treating a subterranean formation, comprising injecting the composition of  claim 1  into said subterranean formation. 
     
     
         25 . The method of  claim 24 , further comprising permitting or causing a chemical or physical reaction to occur between a plurality of one or more of the proppant particle, ground rubber tire particle, or a combination thereof. 
     
     
         26 . A method of extracting or injecting a product or feed from or into a subterranean formation, comprising:
 injecting the composition of  claim 1  into said subterranean formation; and   thereafter, extracting a product from said subterranean formation, injecting a feed into said subterranean formation, or a combination thereof.   
     
     
         27 . A composition for hydraulic fracking, comprising:
 a ground rubber tire particle; and   a fracking fluid.   
     
     
         28 . A method of treating a subterranean formation, comprising injecting the composition of  claim 27  into said subterranean formation. 
     
     
         29 . A method of extracting or injecting a product or feed from or into a subterranean formation, comprising:
 injecting the composition of  claim 27  into said subterranean formation; and   thereafter, extracting a product from said subterranean formation, injecting a feed into said subterranean formation, or a combination thereof.   
     
     
         30 . A method of treating a subterranean formation, comprising:
 injecting a composition comprising a ground rubber tire particle into said subterranean formation.   
     
     
         31 . A method of extracting or injecting a product or feed from or into a subterranean formation, comprising:
 injecting a composition comprising a ground rubber tire particle into said subterranean formation; and   thereafter, extracting a product from said subterranean formation, injecting a feed into said subterranean formation, or a combination thereof.   
     
     
         32 . A method for making a hydraulic fracking composition, comprising contacting:
 a ground rubber tire particle; and   one or more of a proppant particle, a fracking fluid, or combination thereof.
