Insulation TRIZ Cases
- Heat-Activated Liner Hanger Locking Mechanism
Thermal activation releases a mechanical spring to deploy the liner hanger, eliminating hydraulic leak paths in wellbore production.
- Matrix Acidizing Simulation Using Complex Potential Theory
Complex potential theory calculates streamlines to model non-axisymmetric acid flow, reducing required acid volume while maintaining production rates.
- RF Antenna Heating for Oil Sands Permeability
Dielectric heating replaces mechanical steam injection, resolving high water consumption while fracturing oil sands.
- Heater Cable for Shale Wells Using Composite Armor
Composite armor protects conductors from paraffin blockages caused by temperature drops in flooded annular spaces.
- Microwave Heating of Heavy Oil Reservoirs
Microwaves excite H2O and sulfur hexafluoride to reduce heavy oil viscosity, eliminating excessive water usage required by steam injection.
