With a total of 8 patents to his name, Hytken has made significant strides in enhancing the efficiency of hydrocarbon extraction processes.
Latest Patents
One of Hytken's latest patents focuses on thermal energy delivery and oil production arrangements and methods. This invention involves heating a subterranean formation by positioning concentric tubing strings in a wellbore. The process includes heating a heat transfer fluid using a surface thermal fluid heater and flowing a liquid or feedwater downward through an extremely hot innermost tubing string. This string is concentric to an outermost tubing string and a casing/annulus, extending below a thermal packer positioned in the wellbore. The heat transfer fluid is continually circulated through the outermost tubing string and the casing/annulus above the thermal packer. This allows the liquid or feedwater flowing through the innermost tubing string to be heated and injected into the wellbore below the thermal packer, heating the subterranean formation to temperatures that facilitate hydrocarbon production. Additionally, emissions may be injected into the subterranean formation with the liquid or feedwater.
