    摘要: Coated proppants include a proppant particle, a surface copolymer layer surrounding the proppant particle, and a resin layer surrounding the surface copolymer layer. The surface copolymer layer includes a copolymer of at least two monomers chosen from styrene, methyl methacrylate, ethylene, propylene, butylene, imides, urethanes, sulfones, carbonates, and acrylamides, where the copolymer is crosslinked by divinyl benzene. The resin layer includes a cured resin. Methods of preparing the coated proppants include preparing a first mixture including at least one polymerizable material, an initiator, and a crosslinker including divinyl benzene; contacting the first mixture to a proppant particle to form a polymerization mixture; heating the polymerization mixture to cure the polymerizable material and form a polymer-coated particulate; preparing a second mixture including the polymer-coated substrate, an uncured resin, and a solvent; and adding a curing agent to the second mixture to cure the uncured resin and form the coated proppant.

    摘要: Coated particles include a particulate substrate, a surface copolymer layer surrounding the particulate substrate, and a resin layer surrounding the surface copolymer layer. The surface copolymer layer includes a copolymer of at least two monomers chosen from styrene, methyl methacrylate, ethylene, propylene, butylene, imides, urethanes, sulfones, carbonates, and acrylamides. The resin layer includes a cured resin. Methods of preparing the coated particles include preparing a first mixture including at least one polymerizable material, an initiator, and optionally a solvent; contacting the first mixture to a particulate substrate to form a polymerization mixture; heating the polymerization mixture to cure the polymerizable material and form a polymer-coated particulate; preparing a second mixture including the polymer-coated substrate, an uncured resin, and a solvent; and adding a curing agent to the second mixture to cure the uncured resin and form the coated particle.

    摘要: A polymer composite hydrogel includes a polymer composite, water, an organic crosslinker, and a salt. The polymer composite includes a nanosheet filler dispersed throughout a polymerized polyacrylamide. The nanosheet filler includes one or more of zirconium hydroxide, zirconium oxide, titanium oxide, graphene oxide, non-functionalized graphene, and hexagonal boron nitride. Further, a weight ratio of the nanosheet filler to the polymerized polyacrylamide is between 1:99 and 1:9. The polymer composite hydrogel includes 0.5 to 6 weight percent of the polymer composite and 0.25 to 5 weight percent of the salt, the salt being a monovalent salt, a divalent salt, or a combination of monovalent and divalent salts. A method of preparing a polymer composite, a method of preparing a polymer composite hydrogel for water shutoff applications, and the associated method of forming a barrier to shut off or reduce unwanted production of water in a subterranean formation is also provided.

    摘要: A method for producing a coated proppant having an intermediate cross-linked terpolymer layer includes mixing a monomers solution including a first monomer, a second monomer that is different from the first monomer, a cross-linking agent, and an initiator. The proppant particle is combined with the monomers solution, and the monomer solution on the surface of the at least one proppant particle is polymerized to form at least one proppant particle having the intermediate cross-linked terpolymer layer on a surface of the at least one proppant particle. A resin solution including an epoxy resin, a curing agent, and graphene is mixed, and combined with the at least one proppant particle having the intermediate cross-linked terpolymer layer on a surface of the at least one proppant particle. The resin solution is cured to form the coated proppant comprising an intermediate cross-linked terpolymer layer.
