Patents by Inventor Jerry Edwin Pardue

Jerry Edwin Pardue 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).

  • Method of fracturing using boron crosslinkers
    Patent number: 8691735
    Abstract: Fracturing fluid compositions and methods of fracturing subterranean formations using polyboronic compounds as crosslinking agents are provided. The compositions and methods of the present invention allow for lower polymer loadings because achieving higher fracturing fluid viscosities can be achieved using less polymer than in traditional crosslinked systems.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 27, 2012
    Date of Patent: April 8, 2014
    Assignee: Baker Hughes Incorporated
    Inventors: Hong Sun, Qi Qu, Frances De Benedictis, Jerry Edwin Pardue
  • Methods of making polyboronic compounds and compositions related thereto
    Patent number: 8389763
    Abstract: Polyboronic compounds and methods of making them are provided. The polyboronic compounds are useful as crosslinking agents. The polyboronic compounds are produced by contacting a polymeric amine with a trialkylborate in the presence of a solvent so that the resulting molecule has more than one B—N bond.
