Earth Boring

Earth Boring patent applications listed are from June 2005 to current and include Date, Patent Application Number, Patent Title, Patent Abstract summary and are linked to the corresponding patent application page.

12/21/06 - 20060287201 - Pore-scale geometric models for interpretation of downhole formation evaluation data
Parameters of a pore-scale geometric model of a clastic earth formation are adjusted so that the output of the model matches measurements made on a core sample. Additional properties of the earth formation are predicted using the pore-scale model. The additional properties may be based on additional measurements of properties ...

06/08/06 - 20060122069 - Well plug additive, well plug treatment fluid made therefrom, and method of plugging a well
For well plug treatment to plug an abandoned well, a well plug additive including a dry mixture of water soluble crosslinkable polymer, a crosslinking agent, and filter aid, and optionally, a reinforcing material preferably of fibers and/or comminuted plant materials. The method of forming a well plug fluid includes contacting ...

01/26/06 - 20060019834 - Water-based drilling fluids
A water-based drilling fluid composition includes water and at least one rheology modifier and/or fluid loss control agent, and at least one other ingredient of polymeric additive, inorganic salts, dispersants, shale stabilizers, weighting agents, or finely divided clay particles, depending upon the desired attributes, wherein the rheology modifier and/or the ...

01/12/06 - 20060009363 - Deep water completions fracturing fluid compositions
It has been discovered that fracturing fluid compositions can be designed for successful deep water completion fracturing fluid operations. These fluids must be pumped relatively long distances from offshore platforms to the reservoir, and they are often subjected to a wide temperature range. Under these conditions, it is necessary to ...

12/22/05 - 20050282711 - Low dosage naphthenate inhibitors
Low dosage naphthenate inhibitors, such as a surfactant or hydrotrope, delivered into production fluids for contact with mixtures of oil and water, such as in a hydrocarbon producing formation, production equipment, or processing systems. Inhibitor compounds such as monophosphate esters and diphosphate esters exhibit surface-active properties that cause the inhibitors ...

10/27/05 - 20050239661 - Downhole catalytic combustion for hydrogen generation and heavy oil mobility enhancement
A new concept for enhancing the mobility of crude oils is provided which enables efficient and effective recovery of heavy oils not presently accessible using existing techniques while concurrently yielding upgraded oils from the extracted heavy oils. The heavy oil that remains inaccessible after primary and secondary recovery operations, and ...

09/08/05 - 20050197255 - Lubricant composition
Lubricants and drilling fluid systems comprising lubricants which form a coherent lubricating film on metal equipment, thereby prolonging equipment life even under a wide variety of conditions, including high temperature and/or high pressure conditions. ...

07/14/05 - 20050153844 - Apparatus and process for removing liquids from drill cuttings
Drill cuttings associated with drilling fluid are thermally cleaned. The wet cuttings are fed into a vessel chamber having mechanical mixers, such as ribbon blenders, extending lengthwise of the chamber. Direct heating is applied to the chamber contents by introducing hot combustion gas from a heater. A combination of direct ...

06/16/05 - 20050130845 - Method and composition for the triggered release of polymer-degrading agents for oil field use
Disclosed are methods and related compositions for altering the physical and chemical properties of a substrate used in hydrocarbon exploitation, such as in downhole drilling operations. In a preferred embodiment a method involves formulating a fluid, tailored to the specific drilling conditions, that contains one or more inactivated enzymes. Preferably ...

06/09/05 - 20050124499 - Drilling fluid containing microspheres and use thereof
The present invention provides a drilling fluid composition and a method of drilling comprising a drilling fluid, which may be oil- or water-based, and a composite microsphere component. The invention drilling fluid composition advantageously reduces the density of a conventional fluid, reduces costs associated with pumping and overcomes problems associated ...
