Title: Innovations of Victoria Gonzales-Prevatt
Introduction
Victoria Gonzales-Prevatt is an accomplished inventor based in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. She has made significant contributions to the field of microbiological oil prospecting. Her innovative approach has the potential to revolutionize how subterranean oil and gas deposits are identified.
Latest Patents
Victoria holds a patent for her invention titled "Microbiological Oil Prospecting." This invention provides methods and systems for prospecting for subterranean oil and gas deposits by detecting the presence of hydrocarbon-consuming microorganisms in soil samples taken from a field of interest for production. A preferred method of this invention comprises suspending and diluting each soil sample in a mineral salt solution, combining the sample with a selective growth substrate such as an alcohol or aldehyde, and an oxidation-reduction dye in a gas-tight tube. The sample is then incubated, and the color change of the dye is measured. The advantages of this system include obtaining results in short times (24 to 72 hours), substantially eliminating false positives, and providing accurate results, particularly when a spectrophotometer is used to measure the color changes. Additionally, it is automatable with computer-controlled systems for processing samples, reading the color changes, and calculating and plotting test results.
