Hydraulic fracturing proppant composition and method for forming such proppants
Abstract
Abstract A TWO-COMPONENT CATALYST SYSTEM FOR CURING UNSATURATED POLYESTER RESIN PRILLS USEFUL AS PROPPANTS IN HYDRAULIC FRACTURING, THE PRILLS BEING THE REACTION PRODUCT OF (1) THE CONDENSATION REACTION PRODUCT OF (A) AN UNSATURATED DICARBOXYLIC ACID CONTAINING FROM 4 TO 8 CARBON ATOMS OF THE GROUP CONSISTING OF ALKENEDIOIC ACIDS AND ANHYDRIDES THEREOF, (B) A BENZENE DICARBOXYLIC ACID OF THE GROUP CONSISTING OF ISOPHTHALIC ACID, TEREPHTHALIC ACID, ALKYL SUBSTITUTED ISOPHTHALIC ACID, ALKYL SUBSTITUTED TEREPHTHALIC ACID AND MIXTURES THEROF, WHERE EACH OF SAID ALKYL SUBSTITUTED ACIDS CONTAINS FROM 1 TO 3 ALKYL GROUPS AND EACH ALKYL GROUP CONTAINS FROM 1 TO 4 CARBON ATOMS AND (C) AN OXYALKANEDIOL CONTAINING FROM 4 TO 12 CARBON ATOMS AND (2) A MONOMER SELECTED FROM THE GROUP CONSISTING OF ETHYLENIC AND ALLYLIC MONOMERS; AND A PROCESS FOR FORMING SUCH PRILLS. IN THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT, THE REACTANTS FORMING THE CONDENSATION REACTION PRODUCT (1) ALSO INCLUDE A MINOR PROPORTION OF AN ALKANEDIOL CONTAINING FROM 2 TO 12 CARBON ATOMS. D R A W I N G
