You might have read last week that Schlumberger has patented a new fiber propant for fracking that will eliminate “allow for improved proppant suspension” and reduce the amount of sand and water needed.
HiWAY Flow-Channel Hydraulic Fracturing Increases Production Using Less Water and Proppant
Reduce Footprint Without Sacrificing Production
HiWAY flow-channel hydraulic fracturing significantly increases fracture conductivity while reducing water and proppant consumption. This means higher short- and long-term production, simpler logistics, and a smaller operational footprint.
Thanks to a loyal reader, I think we know what that new fiber is.
Combined law effort yields 2,036 lbs. of marijuana
In a joint law enforcement effort with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the District Attorney’s Highway Interdiction Officer, and Live Oak County Sheriff’s Office, they were able to confiscate 2,036 pounds of marijuana hidden in two pickups with “Schlumberger” marked on their doors, said Live Oak Sheriff Larry Busby.
Busby said an officer from Jim Wells County called to alert Live Oak County officers that they had stopped a truck marked with Schlumberger on the doors that was carrying hundreds of pounds of marijuana in the bed and truck box. The officers believed another similarly marked truck was heading north and could possibly be on FM 3162.
In case you think this is a joke, it’s not. On Bluedaze, I have the best and smartest readers on the whole Internet who often send interesting items for me to post on my blog. Then I just post the funny part. I’m like the Velveteen Rabbit: My readers make me real.
Always Read the comments HERE because many times that’s where you find the good stuff like the Schlumberger patents.
