Title: The Innovations of Vadim Kamil'evich Khlestkin
Introduction
Vadim Kamil'evich Khlestkin is a notable inventor based in Novosibirsk, Russia. He has made significant contributions to the field of well operations through his innovative methods and technologies. With a total of 2 patents, Khlestkin's work focuses on enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of hydraulic fracturing and gravel packing operations.
Latest Patents
Khlestkin's latest patents include a method for modification and delivery of proppant during well operations and a method to enhance fiber bridging. The first method allows for the employment of proppant surface modification with an emulsified treatment material for proppant delivery deep into the far-field fracture zone during hydraulic fracturing operations. This method also facilitates heterogeneous proppant placement via proppant aggregation. In gravel packing operations, it maintains the circulation of the proppant slurry for homogeneous proppant settling to the desired wellbore location. The emulsified treatment material can be either degradable or non-degradable under downhole conditions. The second patent involves a method of treating a geologic formation by injecting a high viscosity composition into a wellbore. This composition includes a base fluid with an initial viscosity of 100 cP or greater, which decreases in viscosity upon exposure to a viscosity-reducing agent. The fibers in this composition exhibit flocking when the viscosity of the base fluid decreases.
