Jens Henrik Hansen: Inventor with Six Patents

Jens Henrik Hansen, based in Doha, QA, is a prolific inventor with six patents to his name. His latest patents are particularly noteworthy for their potential to revolutionize the oil-drilling industry. One of these is an Apparatus and Method for Simulating and/or Controlling Fluid Injection.

This patent details a method for controlling wellbore interventions or processes involving the flow of multiple fluids in a wellbore of arbitrary geometry. It relies on a model or simulation of the wellbore as a series of segments or portions and uses this to calculate pressure drop values between segments. Hansen's method can help determine pressure responses during acid stimulation, an important technique used in oil drilling.

Another recent patent from Hansen is the Method of Providing a Barrier in a Fracture-Containing System. This invention could be used not just in the oil-drilling industry but also for plugging fractures in sewer drains and pipelines. The patent outlines a process for creating a barrier in a fracture-containing system using an elastomeric material that can crosslink into an elastomer. The material and/or crosslinking agent are of neutral buoyancy with respect to the surrounding fluids.

Previously, Hansen has worked for companies such as Maersk Oil and Gas and Total E&P Danmark. He has collaborated with colleagues such as Kristian Mogensen and Anne Ladegaard Skov.

Hansen's inventions are likely to have a significant impact on oil-drilling and related industries. By providing improved methods for simulating and controlling fluid injection and for plugging fractures in complex systems, his patents have the potential to make drilling operations safer, more efficient, and more effective. We look forward to seeing what other innovations Hansen will bring to the world of engineering and patents.
