  • Publication number: 20240134341
    Abstract: The present application relates to systems and methods for obtaining real-time abrasion data. An example computer-implemented method could include receiving, at a computing device, sensor data from one or more sensors. The one or more sensors are disposed in proximity to an abrasive product or a workpiece associated with the abrasive product. The one or more sensors are configured to collect abrasion operational data associated with an abrasive operation involving the abrasive product or the workpiece. The computer-implemented method could further include training, based on the sensor data, a machine learning system to determine product specific information of the abrasive product and/or workpiece specific information. The computer-implemented method could also include providing the trained machine learning system using the computing device.

  • Publication number: 20150136406
    Abstract: A plug pulling device includes an elongated housing comprising a production tree connection interface, a shifting tool disposed within and along a substantial length the housing and comprising a distal end configured to couple to a tubing plug, and a seal disposed within the housing and formed around a portion of the shifting tool. The seal isolates a first portion of the housing from a second portion of the housing. The second portion of the housing is adjacent to the production tree connection interface. The shifting tool is configured to move partially in and out of the first portion of the housing when there is a pressure differential between the first portion of the housing and an environment external to the first portion of the housing.

  • Publication number: 20060118308
    Abstract: A dual bore well jumper establishing fluid communication between a subsea well and a subsea flowline. The dual bore well jumper comprises a first pipe comprising a first pipe bore and a second pipe comprising a second pipe bore, the second pipe being located within the first pipe bore or side-by side with the first pipe. The dual bore well jumper further comprises termination couplings at each for establishing fluid communication with either the subsea flowline or the subsea well. The first and second pipe bores isolate fluid flow in the first pipe bore from fluid flow in the second pipe bore. The dual bore well jumper may optionally further comprise junction assemblies allowing a change in fluid flow direction. The dual bore well jumper may further optionally comprise a bore access module attached to a junction assembly for selective fluid communication with the first and second bores.

  • Publication number: 20060108120
    Abstract: A well production and multi-purpose intervention access hub for flowing fluids from multiple wells to a host facility through a flowline. The hub comprises a production header module and a flowline header module configured for fluid communication with the flowline. The production header module and the flowline header module connect to form a hub bore that is in fluid communication with the flowline and extends through the utility interface. A utility module may connect with the hub for fluid communication and mechanical tool intervention access with the hub bore. The hub comprises valves for isolating the fluid communication between a well the hub bore from the fluid communication between another well and the hub bore. The valves also allow fluid communication between an isolated well and the utility module upon connection of the utility module to the hub.
