Title: Innovations by Alexander Crossley
Introduction
Alexander Crossley is an accomplished inventor based in Broken Arrow, OK (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of electrical submersible pumping systems, holding a total of 3 patents. His work focuses on enhancing the efficiency and functionality of multiphase flow meters and sub-cooled fluid management systems.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is a "Multiphase flow meter for electrical submersible pumps using artificial neural networks." This innovative device is designed to work in conjunction with electrical submersible pump systems in well bores. It incorporates sensors that determine and transmit well bore pressure measurements, including tubing and downhole pressure readings. The multiphase flow meter utilizes at least one artificial neural network device to output flow characteristics of the well bore. This device is trained to provide tubing and downhole flow characteristics based on multiphase-flow pressure gradient calculations and pump and reservoir models, combined with standard down-hole pressure and tubing surface pressure readings.
Another notable patent is the "Method and device for maintaining sub-cooled fluid to ESP system." This method involves real-time monitoring of wellbore fluid and adjusting pump speed to ensure that the fluid entering the pump remains subcooled. The approach includes adding sensors within the wellbore and digitally storing fluid data that is accessible by a pump controller. The pump speed can be modified by adjusting the frequency of the electrical power delivered to the pump motor.
