Title: Innovations by Ronnie L Thomas
Introduction
Ronnie L Thomas is an accomplished inventor based in Sugar Land, TX (US). He has made significant contributions to the field of subterranean formation treatment, holding a total of 3 patents. His work focuses on enhancing hydrocarbon recovery and improving the efficiency of fracturing fluids.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Composition and method for treating a subterranean formation." This invention discloses aqueous liquid compositions designed to increase the permeability of subterranean formations. The compositions are characterized by the provision of fluoborate anion and specific compounds that chelate aluminum ions and aluminum fluoride species. The methods described involve injecting these compositions into the formation to achieve effective treatment.
Another notable patent is "Compositions containing aqueous viscosifying surfactants and methods for applying such compositions in subterranean formations." This invention aims to improve the recovery of hydrocarbons from subterranean formations through hydraulic fracturing. The use of viscosifying surfactant fluids containing viscosifying micelles enhances hydrocarbon recovery while limiting the loss of fracturing fluid into the formation. The methods also focus on selectively blocking pore structures in water-bearing zones, facilitating increased hydrocarbon flowback once a fractured well is back in production.
