Title: Innovations by Dana Pettigrew in Hydrocarbon Fracturing Technology
Introduction
Dana Pettigrew is an accomplished inventor based in Airdrie, Canada. She has made significant contributions to the field of hydrocarbon extraction through her innovative designs and methods. With a total of two patents to her name, Pettigrew is recognized for her expertise in developing advanced pumping technologies.
Latest Patents
Pettigrew's latest patents include a high-pressure multistage centrifugal pump designed specifically for fracturing hydrocarbon reserves. This invention features a unique assembly that includes diffusers, impellers, and a shaft, all enclosed within a robust high-pressure housing. This design allows for safe pressure containment of the fluids being pumped and enhances the discharge pressure capabilities beyond the 6,000 psig of current designs.
Another notable patent is her method for high-pressure hydrocarbon fracturing on demand. This process utilizes water from an underground aquifer, which may contain undesirable chemical compounds. The method involves pumping the water at a pressure above its bubble point pressure, ensuring that the water remains stable and clear during the fracturing process. A closed loop is established to keep the aquifer water circulating, allowing for efficient hydrocarbon extraction.
