Title: Innovations of Philip Burge in Tubing Injection Systems
Introduction
Philip Burge is a notable inventor based in The Hague, Netherlands. He has made significant contributions to the field of oilfield operations, particularly through his innovative tubing injection systems. With a total of 8 patents to his name, Burge's work has had a substantial impact on the efficiency and effectiveness of oil extraction processes.
Latest Patents
One of Burge's latest patents focuses on tubing injection systems for oilfield operations. This invention provides a tubing injection system that contains one injector for moving tubing from a source to a second injector. The second injector is responsible for moving the tubing into the wellbore. In an alternative embodiment designed for subsea operations, the system may include a first injector placed underwater over the wellhead equipment to facilitate the movement of tubing to and from the wellbore. A second injector at the surface moves the tubing to the first injector, while a third injector moves the tubing from the source to the second injector. Each of these tubing injection systems is equipped with sensors that determine the radial force on the tubing exerted by the injectors, tubing speed, injector speed, and the back tension on the source. A control unit containing a computer continually maintains the tubing speed, tension, and radial pressure on the tubing within predetermined limits. This control unit is programmed to automatically manage the operation of the tubing injection systems according to specific programs or models.
