Methods and compositions useful for subterranean formation treatments such as hydraulic fracturing treatments and sand control that include porous materials. Such porous materials may be selectively configured porous material particles manufactured and/or treated with selected glazing materials coating materials and/or penetrating materials to have desired strength and/or apparent density to fit particular downhole conditions for well treating such as hydraulic fracturing treatments and sand control treatments. Porous materials may also be employed in selected combinations to optimize fracture or sand control performance and/or may be employed as relatively lightweight materials in liquid …

Why it's free to use

  • Filed September 2, 2003 and granted December 17, 2013. A Canadian patent filed from October 1, 1989 lasts 20 years from filing, so its term ended September 2, 2023.
  • A certificate of supplementary protection adds at most two years for a drug, so even that would have ended by September 2, 2025.
  • We check Canadian rights only. A patent in its family in another country could still be in force: check its family on Google Patents.
