DOWNHOLE VAPOR-TRANSITION CONTROL VALVE FOR FLUID INJECTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18434957 titled 'DOWNHOLE VAPOR-TRANSITION CONTROL VALVE FOR FLUID INJECTION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a flow control valve designed to regulate the flow of an injection fluid into a subsurface formation based on the vapor-transition characteristic of the fluid within the valve's chamber.
- The flow control valve is positioned in a tubing within a borehole in a subsurface formation.
- It regulates the flow of an injection fluid based on the vapor-transition characteristic of the fluid within its chamber.
Potential Applications
The technology can be applied in various industries such as oil and gas, geothermal energy, and environmental remediation where precise control of fluid injection into subsurface formations is required.
Problems Solved
1. Ensures accurate and efficient regulation of fluid flow into subsurface formations. 2. Helps prevent over-injection or under-injection of fluids, optimizing the injection process.
Benefits
1. Improved control and precision in fluid injection processes. 2. Enhanced efficiency and effectiveness in subsurface fluid injection operations.
Potential Commercial Applications
- Optimizing Fluid Injection in Subsurface Formations: A Key to Enhanced Performance and Efficiency
Possible Prior Art
There may be existing flow control valves used in similar applications, but specific prior art related to the vapor-transition characteristic for regulating fluid flow in subsurface formations would need to be researched further.
Unanswered Questions
How does the flow control valve determine the vapor-transition characteristic of the fluid within its chamber?
The patent application does not provide details on the specific mechanism or technology used to assess the vapor-transition characteristic of the fluid.
What materials are used in the construction of the flow control valve to withstand the conditions in a subsurface formation?
The patent application does not mention the materials or design considerations for the construction of the flow control valve in harsh subsurface environments.
Original Abstract Submitted
A flow control valve configured to be positioned in a tubing in a borehole formed in a subsurface formation, wherein the flow control is used to regulate a flow of an injection fluid into the subsurface formation based on a vapor-transition characteristic of a fluid contained within a chamber of the flow control valve.
