Graphite-Coated Particulate Materials

View page
US Patent:
7402338, Jul 22, 2008
Filed:
Feb 24, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/361766
Inventors:
Donald J. Weintritt - Lafayette LA, US
Peter Zaleski - Poulsbo WA, US
Henry Francois - Oak Park IL, US
Frank A. Wawrzos - McHenry IL, US
Assignee:
Superior Graphite Co. - Chicago IL
International Classification:
B32B 5/16
US Classification:
428403, 428407
Abstract:
An coated particulate is provided with a graphite-impregnated resin coating. The oil field particulates may comprise any of gravel-pack sand, granular betonite, ground Gilsonite, calcium carbonate, glass beads, rock wool, shredded paper, metal spheres, ceramic beads, nut hulls, ground rubber, plastic beads, muscovite mica, calcined petroleum coke, and perlite. The resin may comprise as a binder one or more of a natural, synthetic, water-soluble, and organic resins. More specifically, the resins may comprise an organic film-forming resin such as an alkyd, polyurethane and epoxy. Alternatively, the resin may comprise a film-forming water-soluble polymer, such as a starch, carboxymethyl cellulose, hydroxyethyl cellulose, and xanthan gum. In a further alternative, the resin may comprise a resin-dispersed emulsion, such as a latex or acrylic.

Cement Compositions Including Resilient Graphitic Carbon Fraction

View page
US Patent:
8617309, Dec 31, 2013
Filed:
Feb 8, 2013
Appl. No.:
13/763276
Inventors:
Craig Allen Baer - Romeoville IL, US
David J. Derwin - Prospect Heights IL, US
Changjun Zhou - Chicago IL, US
Frank A. Wawrzos - McHenry IL, US
Marcin Tlustochowicz - Plainfield IL, US
Assignee:
Superior Graphite Co. - Chicago IL
International Classification:
C04B 14/36
C04B 14/00
C04B 28/00
C04B 22/00
C04B 103/00
C04B 111/90
US Classification:
106814, 106668, 106716, 106717
Abstract:
A method for improving the thermal characteristics of cement compositions is provided in which fine resilient graphitic carbon particles (“RGC”) are substituted for a portion of the fine aggregate (typically sand) in the cement formulation. For the purposes of the present disclosure, “fine” is intended to describe particulates having a mesh size of less than about 8 mesh, or a particle size of less than about 2. 38 mm, or, more preferably when referring to RGC, a mesh size of less than about 16 mesh and a particle size of less than about 1. 19 mm. “Resilient” is intended to describe graphitic carbon particles that exhibit a rebound of at least about 20% after compression to 10,000 psi.

Methods For Extracting Oil From Tar Sand

US Patent:
20080185145, Aug 7, 2008
Filed:
Feb 5, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/671135
Inventors:
Peter R. Carney - Lake Forest IL, US
Igor V. Barsukov - Glenview IL, US
Frank Wawrzos - McHenry IL, US
Jeff Radford - Hopkinsville KY, US
International Classification:
E21B 43/24
US Classification:
1662721, 166302, 166 60
Abstract:
Hydrocarbon containing formations can be processed using an in-situ liquefaction technique. This new technique embodies systematic temperature elevation applied to subsurface formation allowing recoverable hydrocarbons to reach a Newtonian fluid viscosity suitable for extraction.

Drilling Fluid Lubricant And Method Of Use

US Patent:
20090075847, Mar 19, 2009
Filed:
Dec 17, 2007
Appl. No.:
11/957634
Inventors:
Frank A. Wawrzos - McHenry IL, US
Donald J. Weintritt - Lafayette LA, US
International Classification:
C09K 8/60
US Classification:
507200
Abstract:
A method for increasing drilling rates by reducing torque and drag in hostile environments such as high pressure, high temperature, and horizontal wells is provided by adding chemically and thermally inert spherical carbon beads to the drilling fluid.
