Insulation TRIZ Cases
- Electromagnetic Fracturing via Thermal Cycling
A rotational antenna directs electromagnetic signals to heat subterranean formations, inducing thermal expansion.
- Thermal Insulating Fluids for Cold Wells
Styrenic-acrylic polymeric rheological modifier creates a yield power law fluid with high yield stress.
- Backflow Gas Heating and Throttling Device for Hydrate Prevention
A backflow gas heating and throttling device uses a heat pipe to raise natural gas temperature before pressure reduction.
- In Situ Fluid Reservoir Stimulation via Thermal Expansion
Thermal expansion of liquid hydrocarbons rejuvenates natural fractures, maintaining pressure above the bubble point to recover trapped liquids instead of gas.
- Shape Deforming Wellbore Seal for Leak Path Repair
A shape deforming sealing element secures to a wellbore inner wall surface using an expandable mandrel.
- Coaxial Mode Converter Array for Uniform RF Heating
A coaxial array of mode converters disturbs differential signal propagation to induce currents and electromagnetic fields along a transmission line.
- Vapor Generator Combustion Gas Quenching
Direct quenching combustion gas with water and solvent reduces thermal energy loss while minimizing CO2 emissions during hydrocarbon recovery.
