Abstract: Robust methods for quantitating the amount of elemental sulfur in a fluid whereby a caustic solution is mixed with the fluid, and the elemental sulfur present in the fluid reacts to form a colored solution that can be compared to a series of standards. The methods can be performed in a laboratory or the field and allow for real time feedback. Once the concentration of the elemental sulfur is known, appropriate methods of treatment can proceed. Test kits for performing the methods in the field are also described.

Abstract: A method of raising the pressure of a natural gas stream (9) on an oil or gas producing installation (1) comprises using an existing high pressure gas stream (13) at the installation to drive the turbine (12) of a turbo-compressor unit (10). It is common on oil and gas producing installations to require the pressure of a gas stream to be increased by a small amount, e.g. to allow flare gas to be fed to the production gas train thereby avoiding flaring. This system may replace the current practice of using ejectors for this purpose since ejectors are very inefficient. However, it can be advantageous to feed the output of the turbine side (12) of the turbo-compressor (10) to an ejector which can give a small pre-boost to the low pressure natural gas (9) before it enters the compressor side (11) of the turbo-compressor (10).

Abstract: Method of monitoring produced water at each perforation or entry point by real time ion sensor deployed downhole to measure the content of water soluble ions. Methods of determining and differentiating nature of water breakthrough in oil production; such as between cycled injection water through a void space conduit, matrix swept injection water and formation water, especially as relates to offshore oil production. Real time ion sensors are deployed and when compared with known standards are used to monitor and remediate water breakthrough, prevent scale deposition, and the like.

Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for developing resources from an unconventional reservoir. In one implementation, raw reservoir data for the unconventional reservoir is obtained. The raw reservoir data includes geology data, completion data, development data, and production data. The raw reservoir data is transformed to transformed data. The raw reservoir data is transformed to the transformed data based on a transformation from a set of one or more raw variable to a set of one or more transformed variables. The set of one or more transformed variables is statistically uncorrelated. Resource development data is extracted from the transformed data. Performance analytics are generated for the unconventional reservoir using the resource development data. The performance analytics are generated through ensemble machine learning. The unconventional reservoir is developed based on the performance analytics.

Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for isolation detection. In one implementation, recorded data is obtained. The recorded data includes radial acoustic waves transmitted and received using a radial sensor of an acoustic logging tool deployed in a wellbore. Clockwise waves are separated from counterclockwise waves by converting the recorded data from a time domain to a frequency domain. The clockwise waves are shifted into shifted clockwise waves, and the counterclockwise waves are shifted into a shifted counterclockwise waves. A forward wave is generated by combining the shifted clockwise waves, and a reflected wave is generated by combining the shifted counterclockwise waves. One or more isolation regions are identified in the wellbore using the forward wave and the reflected wave.

Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for processing liquefied natural gas (LNG). In one implementation, a dry feed gas is received. The dry feed gas is chilled with clean vapor from a heavies removal column to form a chilled feed gas. The chilled feed gas is partially condensed into a vapor phase and a liquid phase. The liquid phase retains freezing components. The freezing components are extracted using a reflux stream in the heavies removal column. The freezing components are removed as a condensate. The vapor phase is compressed into a clean feed gas. The clean feed gas is free of the freezing components for downstream liquefaction.

Abstract: Gadolinium- or boron-doped drilling mud is used during drilling so that it will penetrate all natural cracks in the formation that intersect with the wellbore. Once cased, cemented and washed, die doped mud will only be in the fractures. Pulsed neutron logging is performed, and natural fractures thereby characterized.

Abstract: La invención está dirigida a polímeros expandibles solubles en agua entrelazados estables y métodos para hacer los mismos. De modo más particular la invención se refiere a una composición que comprende partículas poliméricas expandibles que tienen sitios aniónicos y entrelazadores lábiles y entrelazadores estables, la partícula mezclada con un fluido y un entrelazador catiónico que es capaz de entrelazar de manera adicional la partícula a la degradación del entrelazador lábil y la exposición de los sitios aniónicos para formar un gel. Un uso particularmente importante es como un fluido de inyección en la producción de petróleo, en donde las partículas poliméricas expandibles son inyectadas dentro de la zona de objetivo y cuando el calor y/o el pH adecuado de la zona de objetivo ocasionan la degradación del entrelazador lábil y la partícula se expande, el entrelazador catiónico entrelaza el polímero para formar un gel, derivando por tanto el agua hacia las regiones de menor permeabilidad y mejorando la recuperación de petróleo.

Abstract: The invention is directed to crosslinked water-soluble swellable polymers, methods for making same and their various uses. More particularly, the invention relates to a composition comprising expandable polymeric particles being made with 0.1-5% hydrophobic monomers and labile crosslinkers and stable crosslinkers, said particles mixed with a fluid. A particularly important use is as an injection fluid in petroleum production, where the expandable polymeric particles are injected into a well and when the heat and/or pH of the target zones in the formation cause degradation of the labile crosslinker and when the particle expands, the hydrophobic groups associate to form a hydrophobically associative polymer, thus diverting water to lower permeability regions and improving oil recovery.
