Abstract: Energy may be stored by injecting fluid into a fracture in the earth and producing the fluid back while recovering power and/or desalinating water. The method may be particularly adapted to storage of large amounts of energy such as in grid-scale electric energy systems. The fracture may be formed and treated with resin so as to limit fluid loss and to increase propagation pressure. The fluid may be water containing a dissolved salt or fresh water and a portion or all of the water may be desalinated using pressure in the water when it is produced.

Abstract: Compositions are provided for preventing or alleviating loss of fluids from natural or artificial reservoirs formed in subterranean geological formations and methods for deployment of said compositions. The compositions can be delivered to the subterranean reservoirs in any number of steps and are comprised of rock surface adhesion promoter(s), particles that may consist of solids, gels and liquids, crosslinking agent(s) and a liquid medium. The method of the invention uses the composition of the invention in preventing or alleviating loss of fluid stored in a reservoir existing in a subterranean formation. In the method, the composition is preferably provided in a series of weighted or unweighted “pills” for introduction into the reservoir. Such a series may include from one to any number of consecutive treatments. Multiple pills or treatments may be used if needed.

Abstract: Methods for developing geomechanical pumped energy storage systems whereby energy is stored as mechanical energy by injecting a working fluid into a formation and producing the working fluid from the formation while generating power or performing work. The method is particularly adapted to storage of large amounts of energy such as in grid-scale electric energy systems. The formation may exhibit overpressure conditions, may comprise isolated stratigraphic or structural traps of reasonable size, or may comprise depleted oil and gas assets repurposed for storing energy.

Abstract: A method for improved borehole completion. In one embodiment, the method comprises removing a section of casing entirely and cutting a notch through the cement and into the surrounding rock formation, said notch optimally comprising a symmetric triangle terminating in a sharp point oriented perpendicular to the casing axis. Flow may be further optimized by extending the notch as far as practical into the rock matrix to increase the effective diameter of the wellbore and increase the length of the intersection between the fracture and the wellbore.

Abstract: A method for manipulating hydraulic fracture geometry. In one embodiment, the method comprises injecting a fracturing fluid into a well to generate one or more hydraulic fractures in a subsurface rock formation and then substantially draining any fluids from the one or more hydraulic fractures. The method may further comprise injecting a hydrophilic polymer and one or more crosslinking agents into the well to subsequently form low-density hydrogels which may then screen out only each tip of the one or more hydraulic fractures. A working fluid may then be injected into the well to increase fracture width of the one or more hydraulic fractures without substantially increasing fracture length. In an alternative embodiment, the hydrophilic polymer may be fully crosslinked by the one or more crosslinking agents and injected as pre-formed particle gels (PPGs) which may also screen out only each tip of the one or more hydraulic fractures.
