Title: Bobby G Harnsberger: Innovator in Oil Recovery Technologies

Introduction

Bobby G Harnsberger is a notable inventor based in Houston, TX, with a significant contribution to the field of oil recovery. He holds 13 patents, showcasing his innovative approaches to solving complex challenges in petroleum extraction.

Latest Patents

One of Harnsberger's latest patents is an emulsion oil recovery process usable in high temperature and high salinity conditions. This invention addresses the challenges faced in many petroleum formations that contain water with high salinity and/or high concentrations of divalent ions. The process involves creating a water-external phase, viscous emulsion that remains effective in flooding oil formations containing brine with salinity levels ranging from 70,000 to 220,000 parts per million. This emulsion is stable over a wide range of formation temperatures and water salinities, making it a valuable tool in oil recovery operations.

Another significant patent is a method for forming a gravel pack in tar sands. This process involves several steps, including washing out a cavity in the formation, pouring graded gravel to build a conical shaped gravel pack, and running a screen down to the cavity bottom. The method allows for the effective extraction of bitumen from tar sands, filtering out sand and gravel to recover the bitumen at the surface.
