JON E. BURGER 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).

  • Processes and systems for characterizing and optimizing fracturing fluids
    Patent number: 10677706
    Abstract: A workflow to optimize a fracturing fluid for injection into a subterranean formation is provided. The workflow comprises measurement of fundamental properties and characteristics of reservoir rock and fluid, their interaction with fracturing fluid, computer-based models and laboratory performance testing to select preferred fracturing base fluid and additives package for use in fracturing/re-fracturing stimulation of specific shale formations to enhance hydrocarbon recovery.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 21, 2018
    Date of Patent: June 9, 2020
    Assignee: CHEVRON U.S.A. INC.
    Inventors: Douglas K. McCarty, Jon E. Burger, Lin Li, Guo-Qing Tang, Marcus O. Wigand, Varadarajan Dwarakanath, Dyung Tien Vo
