A method for selective placement, initiation and propagation of a hydraulically induced fracture in an open wellbore.

Controlled fracture initiation stress packer

Apparatus and methods for recovering and using geothermal energy. Such methods include at least partially vaporizing a working fluid by passing it through a flow loop that at least partially extends into a heated subterranean zone and employing the vaporized working fluid to power a turbine. At least a portion of the flow loop can comprise a depleted or partially depleted hydrocarbon well.

Closed loop energy production from geothermal reservoirs

A method for resistively heating a subterranean region to lower the viscosity of heavy oil by using production tubing coupled to at least two electrodes modified for three-phase flow and an electrically insulating body.

Selective electromagnetic production tool

A method for enhancing the productivity of a subterranean well comprising passing a solvent out of a string of production casing through perforations proximate an unfractured soluble formation, dissolving a region of the soluble formation to create a cavity therein, and increasing the size of the cavity until the subterranean formation proximate the cavity collapses.
