Patent number: 10196885Abstract: Described herein are methods and system that use electromagnetic heating to heat wellbores and the fluids therein. The heating is achieved by placing one or more permanent magnets in the wellbore and moving a metallic component and/or the one or more permanent magnets relative to each other. This generates eddy currents in the metallic component, which heat the metallic component. This heat is transferred to the fluids in the wellbore from the metallic component by convection.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 2016Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: Board of Regents of the University of Texas SystemInventors: Mukul M. Sharma, Raymond C. Zowarka, Siddharth Pratap

This generates eddy currents in the metallic component, which heat the metallic component. This heat is transferred to the fluids in the wellbore from the metallic component by convection. In some embodiments, permanent magnets are installed in the tubing to induce eddy current heating in a well by converting the linear motion of a sucker rod to rotary motion of a conducting tube using a lead or ball screw. The heater may directly integrate with existing pump jack equipment with little or no additional infrastructure required.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 2017Date of Patent: November 13, 2018Assignee: Board of Regents of the University of Texas SystemInventors: Raymond C.

Patent number: 8995232Abstract: Aspects described herein relate to an electromagnetic seismic vibrator (EMSV) architecture that provide wide frequency range operation, ground force application with high fidelity, and low environmental impact. The EMSV architecture can include a base member that can support a force coil and mitigate electrical heating due, at least in part, to spurious currents. The EMSV architecture can include means for restricting movement of a reaction member included in the EMSV architecture relative to the base member. Such means can permit mitigation of damage of the EMSV architecture in scenarios in which control of the EMSV architecture may fail.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2011Date of Patent: March 31, 2015Assignee: Board of Regents of the University of Texas SystemInventors: Raymond C.

Patent number: H1389Abstract: An augmented electromagnetic accelerator apparatus which imparts an initial elocity to a projectile by use of enhanced inductance gradients and allows for the use of cylindrical projectiles by the use of a round bore, using a parallel gun rail geometry The enhanced inductance gradients are achieved by the use of an extra turn around the gun rails and enclosing the rail and the said augmented turn in laminated iron. The augmented accelerator has crossovers at the two ends (breech and muzzle end) which have minimum influences over the electromagnetics in the bore of the accelerator.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 1993Date of Patent: January 3, 1995Assignee: The United States of America as represented by the Secretary of the ArmyInventors: William F.
