Amjed Mohammed Hassan 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: 11208877
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and compositions for increasing hydrocarbon production from a wellbore where the wellbore or a nearby hydrocarbon reservoir is suffering from water blockage, one method including identifying water blockage in a rock sample of a formation via increased capillary pressure in the rock sample; formulating an exothermic reaction component to remove water blockage from a reservoir rock in situ via heat and pressure release, the reservoir rock type the same as the rock sample; injecting the exothermic reaction component into the wellbore; and allowing the exothermic reaction component to react to remove water blockage in situ to decrease capillary pressure of the reservoir rock without substantially changing porosity of the reservoir rock.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 3, 2020
    Date of Patent: December 28, 2021
    Assignees: SAUDI ARABIAN OIL COMPANY, KING FAHD UNIVERSITY OF PETROLEUM AND MINERALS

  • Patent number: 10895136
    Abstract: A method for reducing condensate in a subsurface formation is disclosed. The method comprises introducing a first reactant and a second reactant into the subsurface formation. The first reactant and the second reactant produce an exothermic reaction that increases temperature and pressure in the subsurface formation to greater than a dew point of the condensate. Increasing the temperature and pressure in the subsurface formation to greater than the dew point of the condensate vaporizes, and thereby reduces, condensate in the subsurface formation.
