Title: Innovations by Bjorn Langseth in Well Testing Technology
Introduction
Bjorn Langseth is an accomplished inventor based in Missouri City, TX (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of well testing technology, holding a total of 6 patents. His innovative approaches have enhanced the efficiency and effectiveness of testing wellbore formations.
Latest Patents
One of Bjorn Langseth's latest patents is a method and apparatus for continuously testing a well. This invention comprises a tool string designed for testing a wellbore formation, which includes a production inlet, an injection outlet, and a sampler apparatus. Fluid is taken from a production zone into the tool string through the production inlet, then out of the tool string through the injection outlet, and into the injection zone. Within the interior of the tool string, the sampler apparatus takes samples of the fluid flowing through it. In another embodiment, a large volume of sample fluid is trapped within the interior of the tool string, such as between two valves, and is removed from the wellbore along with the tool string after the test. Additionally, the tool string may include at least one perforating gun to perforate one of the production and injection zones. It can also feature two perforating guns to perforate both zones, with one potentially being an oriented perforating gun to ensure that the shape charges do not disturb any cables, data lines, or transmission lines associated with the tool string.
