  • System and method for blending of bulk dry materials in oil well cementing
    Patent number: 10783678
    Abstract: The invention relates to an apparatus, system, and method for the bulk blending of dry component materials to produce a blended product mix. The apparatus utilizes a special construction that allows multiple bulk dry materials to be added simultaneously to create a blended mix compliant with a desired or specified mixture of cement components. The system is automated by use of a controller, and provides real-time data to a user as to rates and amounts of materials blended and delivered over time.
    Type: Grant

  • System and method of customizable material injection for well cementing
    Patent number: 10316618
    Abstract: The invention includes a system and method for determining and using liquid based chemical additives to modify the performance of various products used during downhole cementing of wells such as oil wells. The method comprises preparing a cement mix, determining a fluid properties profile for the mix corresponding to discrete elevations or sections within the well to be cemented, preparing chemical additives to modify the fluid properties of the mix, and pumping the cement mix while continuously injecting additives to ensure the cement mix conforms to the fluid properties profile.
