Abstract: Methods and apparatus for interrogating sets of optical elements having characteristic wavelengths spanning a sweep range while avoiding overlapping reflections from the different sets when performing a wavelength sweep are provided. One example method generally includes introducing a pulse of light, by an optical source, into an optical waveguide to interrogate at least first and second sets of optical elements, wherein the optical elements within each set have different characteristic wavelengths and wherein the first and second sets are separated in time such that a first time window over which light is reflected from the optical elements in the first set and reaches a receiver does not overlap with a second time window over which light is reflected from the optical elements in the second set and reaches the receiver; and processing the reflected light to determine one or more parameters corresponding to the optical elements.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for steering a drilling assembly (200) during drilling operations for oil and gas. The steering assembly being disposed in a borehole (10) and comprising a drill bit (120) attached to a drill collar (210) having an eccentric stabilizer (220) disposed thereupon. The eccentric stabilizer either in an engaged state whereupon rotating concentrically with the drill collar, or in a released state whereupon as the drill collar rotates the eccentric stabilizer is positioned eccentrically relative to the drill collar creating a lateral deflection in the borehole that may be used for changing the direction of the drilling assembly.

Abstract: The implementations described herein relate to imidazoline quaternary ammonium based compositions, processes for the preparation thereof and to the use of imidazoline quaternary ammonium based compositions as anti-agglomerants. In some implementations, the anti-agglomerant compositions described herein are able to handle greater than 10°C subcooling in a sour system up to 40,000 ppm H 2 S and also without the need for a hydrocarbon phase. It is believed that some of the anti-agglomerants described herein can function without a hydrocarbon phase in sour conditions.
