Filed:

May 6, 2005

Appl. No.:

11/568974

Inventors:

Roland P. DeBruyn - Highlands Ranch CO, US

Luca Technologies, Inc. - Golden CO

International Classification:

C12P 3/00
C01B 3/32
C12P 5/02

US Classification:

481275, 435168, 423650

Abstract:

Disclosed are strategies for the economical microbial generation of hydrogen, useful as an alternative energy source, from hydrocarbon-rich deposits such as coal, oil and/or gas formations, oil shale, bitumen, tar sands, carbonaceous shale, peat deposits and sediments rich in organic matter through the management of the metabolism of microbial consortia.

International Classification:

E21B 43/22

US Classification:

166246, 1663051

Abstract:

Methods to enhance biogenic gas production in an anaerobic geologic formation containing carbonaceous material may include the steps of accessing the anaerobic formation, increasing a rate of production of the biogenic gases in the anaerobic formation, and flowing formation water within the anaerobic formation after the increase in the production of biogenic gases. Methods to redistribute formation water in an anaerobic geologic formation containing carbonaceous material may include the steps of locating a reservoir of the formation water within the anaerobic formation, forming at least one channel between the reservoir and at least a portion of the carbonaceous material, and transporting the formation water from the reservoir to the carbonaceous material through the channel. The methods may also include the accumulation of biogenic gas in an anaerobic geologic formation to enhance biogenic gas production.

Appl. No.:

11/615605

Inventors:

Kenneth Charles Pokusa - Indian Head Park IL, US
Jeffrey Thomas Weber - Lake Zurich IL, US

International Classification:

B65D 33/18
B31B 1/00
B65D 33/34

US Classification:

383 5, 383 86, 493260

Abstract:

A reclosable, flexible package for storing food products, the package including a pair of opposing panels connected via a bottom seal or fold, each having a flange opposite the bottom seal and a pair of end seals between the opposing panels that intersect the bottom seal. A pleat located in one of the panels, containing a tear strip for opening the package. A flange seal located between the flanges where one of the flanges extends beyond the flange seal to form a reclosure flap, removably secured to one panel by an adhesion surface to form a cover over the opening. Alternatively, the flanges are about equally aligned and sealed at the edges, with tear lines spaced from the edge to remove a portion of the flanges and flange seal when torn along a predetermined tear line, creating two flanges, one extending beyond the other to form a reclosure flap.
