Patents by Inventor Jaleh Ghassemzadeh

Jaleh Ghassemzadeh has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 9410066
    Abstract: An engineered composition for reducing lost circulation in a well includes a mixture of coarse, medium and optional fine particles, and a blend of long fibers and short fibers. The long fibers are rigid and the short fibers are flexible. The long fibers form a tridimensional mat or net in the lost-circulation pathway that traps the mixture of particles and short flexible fibers to form a mud cake. The mixture of particles and blend of fibers may be added to water based and oil-based drilling fluids. The composition, size, and concentration of each component of the mixture of particles and blend of fibers may be fine-tuned for each application.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8404622
    Abstract: A composition for reducing lost circulation in a well, while drilling the well with a drilling mud, which is composed of a base fluid, a mixture of particles, and a blend of fibers. The composition is used by stopping drilling with the mud, injecting a spacer, injecting the water-based composition, injecting a spacer, and resuming drilling with the oil-based mud.

  • Publication number: 20110024114
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for controlling loss circulation and simultaneously strengthening a weakened formation when drilling for oil. This invention relates to the permeable subterranean formation and natural and induced fractured formations that encounter severe losses and their treatment with a composition composed of long rigid organic fibre with different type of fibres selected from a category of organic or inorganic fibres along with different particle sizes that orientation of fibres and packing of the solids shows a good blockage effect to resist the loss and later the final set material develop required compressive strength to cure those losses and strengthening the structure.
