Title: Innovations by Herman M Muijs in Lubricant Systems

Introduction

Herman M Muijs is an accomplished inventor based in Foster City, CA (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of lubricant systems, particularly in oil field applications. His innovative approach has led to the development of a unique patent that addresses the challenges faced in drilling operations.

Latest Patents

Herman M Muijs holds a patent for "Starch-containing lubricant systems for oil field applications." This invention focuses on lubricating additives for drilling fluids, which are prepared from semi-solid highly viscous and/or high molecular weight lubricants, such as polyalkylenes like polybutene. The process involves steam jet cooking a mixture of starch, water, and the lubricant to uniformly suspend micrometer-sized lubricant droplets in an aqueous starch matrix. This innovative method eliminates the need for toxic emulsifiers, surfactants, or short-chain hydrocarbon solvents for dispersing the lubricants. The additives not only enhance lubricity in drilling fluids (muds) but also improve filtration control properties, thereby inhibiting fluid loss in geological formations.
