A METHOD FOR THE FRACTURE STIMULATION OF A SUBTERRANEAN FORMATION HAVING A WELLBORE BY USING THERMOSET POLYMER NANOCOMPOSITE PARTICLES AS PROPPANTS, WHERE SAID PARTICLES ARE PREPARED BY USING FORMULA TIONS CONTAINING REACTIVE INGREDIEN TS OBTAINED OR DERIVED FROM RENEWABLE FEEDSTOCKS

摘要

A method for fracture stimulation of a subterranean formation having a wellbore includes providing a thermoset polymer nanocomposite particle precursor composition comprising a polymer precursor mixture, dispersed within a liquid medium, containing at least one of a monomer, an oligomer or combinations thereof having three or more reactive functionalities capable of creating crosslinks between polymer chains, wherein part of said polymer precursor mixture is obtained from renewable feedstock, and from 0 001 to 60 volume percent of nanofiller particles possessing a length less than 0 5 microns, subjecting the nanocomposite particle precursor composition to polymeπzing conditions to form the polymeπc nanocomposite particle, whereby said nanofiller particles are substantially incorporated into a polymer, forming a slurry comprising fluid and proppant, wherein said proppant compnses the nanocomposite particles, and injecting into the wellbore said slurry at rates and pressures such that said formation fails and fractures to accept said slurry
