  • Patent number: 8601882
    Abstract: A system for measuring one or more physical properties of cementitious material is operable to cure a slurry of cementitious material under desired conditions of temperature and pressure. Particularly, the system may be operable to cure the slurry under a temperature and pressure expected to be experienced downhole. The system may also be used to determine properties of the cured cementitious material, such as maximum yield strength and shear bond strength at the desired temperature and pressure. The desired conditions of temperature and pressure may be applied both during curing and testing of the cementitious material.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7614451
    Abstract: A method for servicing a well comprises providing at least one trailer, providing at least one towing vehicle, providing servicing equipment, supporting the equipment with the trailer, and moving the towing vehicle, so as to move the trailer along with the equipment. The combination gross weight rating or combination gross vehicle weight of the trailer and the towing vehicle may be less than 26,001 pounds or less than less than the commercial drivers license threshold, under the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration's regulations.

  • Publication number: 20070051539
    Abstract: A method for integrating a batch cement process with a cuttings reinjection process, the method comprising: equipping a batch cement skid with a particle classifier and a grinding pump, such that the batch cement skid sequentially implements the cuttings reinjection process and the batch cement process is disclosed. An apparatus for performing a batch cement process and a cuttings reinjection process, the apparatus comprising: a first tank and a second tank, a particle classifier having a coarse effluent stream feeding into the first tank and a fine effluent stream feeding into the second tank, and a grinding pump in fluid communication with the first tank and the particle classifier is also disclosed.

  • Publication number: 20060225523
    Abstract: A test cell for testing a sample cement composition includes a test chamber and a variable stress system. The test chamber is configured to hold a sample cement composition for a wellbore. The variable stress system communicates with the test chamber. Performance of the sample cement composition is tested for a wellbore using the variable stress system.

  • Publication number: 20050201197
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system and method for mixing a fluid comprising water and at least one non-aqueous material. The system comprises a mixing tub and mixing head adapted to inject the fluid into the mixing tub. It also includes a plurality of lines connected to the mixing head that supply the mixing head with water and the at least one non-aqueous material and a recirculation circuit that delivers the fluid from the mixing tub back to the mixing head. The system further includes a sensor connected to the recirculation circuit that measures the concentration of water in the fluid. An automatic controller uses the concentration measurement data to control the amount of each of the ingredients injected into the mixing tub.
