UNCONVENTIONAL OIL. Latest published applications 2017-2019. Treatment and Refinement More details Patent Statistical Bulletin Summary Due to the looming shortage of light crude oil, the attention of refiners and researchers has shifted to making unconventional oil economically attractive. Compared with traditional technologies, processing of unconventional...
METHANE PRODUCTION FROM HYDRATES. Latest published applications 2017-2019. Drilling, capture and infrastructure Get to the Publication (Free) Patent Statistical Bulletin Summary Currently, there is no industrial production of methane from hydrates anywhere in the world, nevertheless, a significant amount of accumulated experimental data on gas exploration, activation, drilling and extraction, detailed...
BIOENERGY. Latest published applications 2017-2019. Biomass-to-liquids (Fischer-Tropsch) More details Patent Statistical Bulletin Summary Biomass-to-liquids (BTL) is one of the most promising thermochemical processes to convert biomass into synthetic fuels. Before production can begin, the feedstock has to undergo pre-treatment in order to enable efficient feeding...
SYNTHETIC FUELS. Latest published applications 2017-2019. Fischer-Tropsch synthesis More details Patent Statistical Bulletin Summary Fischer-Tropsch synthesis is an efficient method for producing transportation fuels and other products from synthetic gas. It consists of catalytic conversion of hydrogen and carbon monoxide molecules into the required composition...
UNCONVENTIONAL OIL. Latest published applications 2017-2019. In-situ combustion More details Patent Statistical Bulletin Summary The in situ combustion method is also intended for thermal stimulation of an oil reservoir, but it is fundamentally different from steam methods. An increase in reservoir temperature is provided by partial combustion of heavy...
UNCONVENTIONAL OIL. Latest published applications 2017-2019. Oil Shale More details Patent Statistical Bulletin Summary Deposit of oil shales, which are kerogen-rich sediments, are widely distributed around the world and considered one of the most important and highly prospective sources of hydrocarbons. At present, falling oil prices and the...
UNCONVENTIONAL OIL. Latest published applications 2017-2019. Oil Sands More details Patent Statistical Bulletin Summary Oil sands are a type of unconventional petroleum deposit and form a mixture of bitumen, sand, fine clays, silts and water. Because they are more viscous than conventional crude oil, they must be mined or heated underground...
SYNTHETIC FUELS. Latest published applications 2017-2019. Synthetic natural gas More details Patent Statistical Bulletin Summary Synthetic natural gas (SNG) can be produced from a variety of energy sources, primarily coal, biomass and solid waste through a process called gasification. The carbonaceous feedstocks can be gasified and the generated synthesis...
UNCONVENTIONAL OIL. Latest granted patents 2016-2018. Steam injection Get to the Publication (Free) Patent Statistical Bulletin Summary Development of thermal methods to stimulate oil extracting is a logical consequence of the gradual depletion of traditional light oil reserves and the need to involve hard-to-recover and high-viscosity heavy oil in the production...
OIL&GAS FROM LOW PERMEABILITY PLAYS. Latest granted patents 2016-2018. Hydraulic fracturing More details Patent Statistical Bulletin Summary Modern hydraulic fracturing is a technique used to facilitate the extraction of gas or oil from impermeable rock formations by means of pumping large quantities of water, chemicals, and sand into these formations at high pressures...
