Patents by Inventor John Pantano

John Pantano 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).

  • Enhanced Subterranean Resource Recovery
    Publication number: 20160186548
    Abstract: Methods of resource recovery include reagents placed in a subterranean formation. The reagents generate heat, hydrogen gas and alkalinity which changes fluid flow characteristics. The forces of the reactions create fractures and cracks far from the well bore. These cracks and fractures are sealed if water is being transmitted through or near the reactions. As a result, the targeted fluids more efficiently flow to the well, along with decreased amounts of water waste, while stimulating generation of biogenic gases in the subterranean formations.
    Type: Application

    Publication date: June 30, 2016
    Inventor: John Pantano
  • Increased resource recovery by inorganic and organic reactions and subsequent physical actions that modify properties of the subterranean formation which reduces produced water waste and increases resource utilization via stimulation of biogenic methane generation
    Patent number: 9376901
    Abstract: Methods of resource recovery include reagents placed in a subterranean formation. The reagents generate heat, hydrogen gas and alkalinity which changes fluid flow characteristics. The forces of the reactions create fractures and cracks far from the well bore. These cracks and fractures are sealed if water is being transmitted through or near the reactions.

  • Methods and Systems of Down-Hole Reagent Processing and Deployment
    Publication number: 20140158358
    Abstract: A reagent processing vessel is disclosed comprising: an outer container; a reaction chamber disposed in the outer container; a mixing chamber disposed in the outer container for allowing transfer of a substance between the reaction chamber and the mixing chamber; a delivery chamber disposed in the outer container for allowing transfer of a substance between the mixing chamber and the delivery chamber; and at least one of a mixing motor and a delivery pump.
