Abstract

The disclosure contained herein provides fracturing systems and methods including human ingestible materials.

Claims (15)

1 . A method for stimulating an oil and/or gas reservoir with human ingestible products comprising:

storing HPF under pressure on a location of the reservoir to maintain it in a liquid state;

transferring HPF under pressure to high pressure fracturing pumps;

storing mesoporous silica proppant in a container;

feeding the mesoporous silica proppant from the storage vessel into an auger;

mixing the HFP and the mesoporous silica proppant to create a slurry upstream of the high pressure fracturing pumps;

elevating pressure sufficiently high to fracture a formation.

2 . The method of claim 1 , the transferring of HPF under pressure comprising a boost pump.

3 . The method of claim 1 , the elevating pressure carried out via high pressure pumps.

4 . The method of claim 1 , the feeding comprising gravity feeding.

5 . A system for the production of petroleum comprising:

a wellbore;

formation fractures produced by stimulating a formation region with a human ingestible slurry comprising a fluid and a proppant.

6 . The system of claim 4 , the fluid being HFP.

7 . The system of claim 4 , the proppant being mesoporous silica.
