HydroConfidence at CTC Shale Gas Workshop

December 12th, 2011: HydroConfidence held its 3rd workshop at the CTC facility in downtown Pittsburgh. Our goal with the workshop was to address two problems faced by Shale Gas producers: Electricity and Flow Measurement. As a company we continue our overall objective to advance the development of the downhole monitoring and electricity generation product.

Boston Patent Agency

As we at American Patent Agency continue to successfully patent important Intellectual Property for our clients we wonder how they will use that technology to change the world. The work we enjoy the most is when we patent a true innovation to society, and know that our work contributes to the benefit of a greater good. We are always looking at companies who innovate their IP portfolio for the future… what idea do you have that will change the world? Boston is the ideal city to patent real innovation. We are hoping that Bostonians will contact us and learn about how we do business in a very competitive market. A Boston Patent Agency being a very popular commodity, we know how to impress our customer’s right from the beginning. Change the world today by contacting the American Patent Agency.

GREEN OIL CO2-Enhanced Oil Recovery for America’s Small Oil Producers

Currently, trillions of dollars worth of domestic oil remain underground in apparently tapped-out wells, while Americans pay endless amounts of money to buy oil from foreign nations. The Pioneer Consortium is developing technology that will allow much of this domestic oil to be recovered, while generating clean, distributed electric power and removing CO2 from the atmosphere.

Shale Gas Workshop

Today October 28, 2011, HydroConfidence is hosting a workshop about Shale Gas Safety in Pittsburgh at CMU. The workshop includes specialist from several sectors of Shale Gas production. Our goal is to develop an understanding of the environmental and safety issues in shale gas production, and how the coalition of companies of HydroConfidence, Frac Biologies, MicroSeismic, CTC and CMU can deliver a comprehensive solution to the industry.

How HC Does Downhole Monitoring

Typical Downhole Monitoring uses sensors to detect the presence of oil and natural gas in or near the borehole while the well is being drilled. These sensors attach to the drill rig to monitor the rock formation, the mud, and the borehole itself. HydroConfidence takes this one step further by utilizing a sensor network to monitor the pressure and flow of gas and liquid within horizontal pipeline to allow the well producer to optimize production. The system will also monitor the well’s mechanical integrity and detect problems in casing or cement. The HydroConfidence sensors will generate data on underground geology to provide a map of natural gas flows, water resources, and other geologic formations to ease future drilling operations.

Promoting Shale Gas Safety

HydroConfidence is committed to creating Safe Shale Gas production. Our monitoring systems will make Hydraulic Fracturing much more efficient and much safer for the homeowners surrounding gas wells. Shale Gas Safety is the first project we are tackling by creating sensor system to monitor the ground water as well as a software interface to support that system.
