Fluid transport systems for use in a downhole explosive fracturing system

Title: Fluid transport systems for use in a downhole explosive fracturing system

Abstract

Explosive devices and assemblies are described herein for use in geologic fracturing. Components of energetic material used in the explosive devices can be initially separated prior to inserting the assembled system down a wellbore, then later combined prior to detonation. Some exemplary explosive units for insertion into a borehole for use in fracturing a geologic formation surrounding the borehole can comprise a casing comprising a body defining an internal chamber, a first component of an explosive positioned within the internal chamber of the casing, and an inlet communicating with the internal chamber through which a second component of the explosive mixture is deliverable into the internal chamber to comprise the explosive.

Downhole fluid injection systems, CO₂ sequestration methods, and hydrocarbon material recovery methods

Patent Schaef, Herbert T.; McGrail, B. Peter

Downhole fluid injection systems are provided that can include a first well extending into a geological formation, and a fluid injector assembly located within the well. The fluid injector assembly can be configured to inject a liquid CO₂/H₂O-emulsion into the surrounding geological formation. CO₂ sequestration methods are provided that can include exposing a geological formation to a liquid CO₂/H₂O-emulsion to sequester at least a portion of the CO₂ from the emulsion within the formation. Hydrocarbon material recovery methods are provided that can include exposing a liquid CO₂/H₂O-emulsion to a geological formation having the hydrocarbon material therein. The methods can includemore »« less

Insensitive explosive composition and method of fracturing rock using an extrudable form of the composition

Patent Davis, Lloyd L.

Insensitive explosive compositions were prepared by reacting di-isocyanate and/or poly-isocyanate monomers with an explosive diamine monomer. Prior to a final cure, the compositions are extrudable. The di-isocyanate monomers tend to produce tough, rubbery materials while polyfunctional monomers (i.e. having more than two isocyanate groups) tend to form rigid products. The extrudable form of the composition may be used in a variety of applications including rock fracturing.

Multi-phasic explosive fracturing system

Patent Mace, Jonathan Lee; Tappan, Bryce C.; Bronisz, Lawrence E.; ...

Disclosed herein are embodiments of precursor components (or compositions thereof) that can be combined with one or more additional components (or compositions thereof) to form an explosive composition. The disclosed precursor components (or compositions thereof) can be handled and transported safely to a particular location where they can be mixed with liquid fuel to form an explosive composition. In particular disclosed embodiments, the precursor components (or compositions thereof) can comprise, consist essentially of, or consist of an oxidizer component, a metal component, or combinations thereof.
