Fluid Removal TRIZ Cases

A dispersant breaks down clay particles into nanoscale dimensions within a water suspension to create drilling fluid with superior rheological properties.

A hydraulic intensifier uses a screw mechanism to convert rotational motion into linear actuation for pressurizing fracturing fluid.

An annular bypass screen near packers routes produced fluids around accumulated proppant, reducing pressure drops and maintaining production efficiency.

Fractionalizing hydrocarbon feeds reduces carbon dioxide loading on sweetening units, avoiding new facility construction.

A downhole seal apparatus uses a stiff support to extend across a gap and protect the elastomeric member.

A ball drop wellhead control apparatus uses a manually rotated control ball to obstruct frac fluid streams until intentional release.

Cationic sites anchor swellable polymers to negatively charged rock, preventing washout and blocking thief zones.

Algorithm determines optimal pitch and phase angles for helical charge placement, preventing tunnel collapse and maintaining stable fluid flow rates.

Hydrophobic groups associate within swellable polymers to resist washout, maintaining stable blockages that improve oil sweep efficiency.

A downhole flow control device uses a nozzle and dissipation structure to manage fluid momentum within the wellbore.

Automated multi-objective genetic algorithm calculates well production rates to maximize hydrocarbon recovery while minimizing manual computational effort.

A modified Mohr-Coulomb model predicts subsurface fracture networks by incorporating out-of-plane dilatation terms.

Cement-coated proppant particles reduce embedment and fines generation by forming a stable aggregate matrix through secondary hydration.

A compact cable suspended pumping system lowers liquid levels in gas wells using a multi-section motor.

Nitrogen pushes carbon dioxide deeper into shale reservoirs, reducing viscosity and maintaining pressure to overcome low permeability.

Viscoelastic fracturing fluids reduce friction pressure while maintaining proppant transport in low permeability formations.

Amine oxide delay additive prevents premature cross-linking in oil gels, maintaining pumpability before formation injection.

Opposing springs in a gasless pilot accumulator dampen piston movement, eliminating erratic control from ambient pressure changes.
