Patent number: 11761265Abstract: There are provided high power laser perforating tools and methods of delivering laser energy patterns that enhance the flow of energy sources, such as hydrocarbons, from a formation into a production tubing or collection system. These tools and methods precisely deliver predetermined laser beam energy patterns, to provide for custom geometries in a formation. The patterns and geometries are tailored and customized to the particular geological and structural features of a formation and reservoir.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2020Date of Patent: September 19, 2023Assignee: Foro Energy, Inc.Inventors: Brian O. Faircloth, Mark S. Zediker, Daryl L. Grubb, Sam N. Schroit, Ronald A. De Witt, Sharath K. Kolachalam, Paul D. Deutch, Eugene J. Linyaev
