Patent ID: 10233737

Abstract:
A method of manufacturing particulate material. The method can include manufacturing particulate material during an operation at a well, injecting the particulate material into the well during the manufacturing, and changing a dimension of the particulate material during the injecting. Another method of manufacturing particulate material can include manufacturing particulate material during an operation at a well, injecting the particulate material and a proppant into the well during the manufacturing, and then the particulate material degrading in the well. Another method of manufacturing particulate material can include manufacturing particulate material during an operation at a well, fixing a shape of the particulate material by cooling the particulate material, and then injecting the particulate material into the well. A particulate material production and injection system for use with a well can include an extruder, and a pump connected between the extruder and the well that pumps particulate material into the well.
