CIP awards three patents to Millennium Stimulation Services

Millennium Stimulation Services said that it has been awarded three patents by the Canadian Intellectual Property office for the use of Energized Natural Gas to perform well fracturing operations.

The company said in a statement that it continues to pursue these and other patent filings in over 30 jurisdictions in the world under the Patent Cooperation Treaty.

ENG is a well completion technology which blends natural gas with frac fluids and frac sands into an oil and gas wellbore to fracture a producing formation. Millennium has developed a streamlined and efficient method of pumping LNG in energized or foam frac applications. Energized fracturing has long been known to create above average oil and gas reserves recovery. This is especially true when there is lower flow capacity or potential flow restrictions created from a multiphase flow regime in the formation, the company said.

The company says that the ENG process brings these significant advantages into play without the hazards of handling propane and other heavier than air natural gas liquids.
