UNCONVENTIONAL OIL. Latest granted patents 2016-2018. Gas injection or water flooding More details Patent Statistical Bulletin Summary Methods of injecting gas or water into an oil-bearing formation are well-tested and industrially-mastered technologies used in, inter alia, unconventional oil production. Water flooding is usually considered a secondary recovery...
COAL SEAM METHANE. Latest granted patents 2016-2018. Coal bed methane More details Patent Statistical Bulletin Summary Coalbed methane (CBM), also called coalbed gas, is a form of natural gas produced from coal beds. In recent decades it has gained importance as a source of energy in the United States, Canada, Australia, China, and other countries....
CONCENTRATED SOLAR POWER. Latest granted patents 2016-2018. Tracking, control and structural systems Get to the Publication (Free) Patent Statistical Bulletin Summary The main technologies used in concentrated solar power production are solar towers, parabolic troughs, concentrating linear Fresnel reflector or dish systems. They can vary regarding the shape of solar receiver fields, energy...
DIRECTIONAL DRILLING &FRACKING. Latest granted patents 2016-2018. Exploration and site development More details Patent Statistical Bulletin Summary Directional drilling is often employed in combination with hydraulic fracturing to produce oil or gas from formerly unproductive rock formations. This technique helps reach targets that cannot be drilled vertically, reduce the...
UNCONVENTIONAL OIL. Latest granted patents 2016-2018. Waste processing More details Patent Statistical Bulletin Summary Unconventional oil is a term used for hydrocarbons that are produced using techniques other than traditional vertical well extraction. The distinction stems from its position underground or from the unusual nature of the reservoirs...
SYNTHETIC FUELS. Latest granted patents 2016-2018. Coal-to-liquids More details Patent Statistical Bulletin Summary Coal-to-liquid technologies enable producing high-quality synthetic fuel from coal, which is the cheapest type of fossil fuel. However, these technologies are characterized by low economic performance and environmental problems....
SYNTHETIC FUELS. Latest granted patents 2016-2018. Fischer-Tropsch synthesis Get to the Publication (Free) Patent Statistical Bulletin Summary Fischer-Tropsch synthesis (FTS) continues to be at the centre of scientific interest as an alternative for the production of clean transportation fuels and other hydrocarbon products. The process consists of heterogeneous catalytic...
BIOENERGY. Latest granted patents 2016-2018. Methods of control and diagnostics More details Patent Statistical Bulletin Summary Bio-fuel production usually involves generating a synthesis gas (syngas) derived from the gasification of carbonaceous materials, from partial oxidation or reforming of natural gas and/or biogas from anaerobic digestion or landfill...
BIOENERGY. Latest granted patents 2016-2018. Biomass gasification Get to the Publication (Free) Patent Statistical Bulletin Summary Biomass gasification is one of the most promising CHP technologies because it shows relatively high electrical efficiency compared to other CHP systems in the lower and middle range of power. This power class has high potential...
OIL&GAS FROM LOW PERMEABILITY PLAYS. Latest granted patents 2016-2018. Auxiliary means for fracturing More details Patent Statistical Bulletin Summary Hydraulic fracturing is a well stimulation technique involving fracturing rock formations by a pressurized liquid. Fracking needs lots of associated equipment such as gauges for flow rate and fluid density, as well as storage...
