  • Publication number: 20230243255
    Abstract: A well bore logging tool for measuring a pore fluid property of a hydrocarbon reservoir that may include, a tool housing, a vessel containing a tracer, a launcher attached to the vessel that may be configured to inject a tracer into the hydrocarbon reservoir. The well bore logging too may further include a retrieval device configured to extract at least a portion of the tracer from the hydrocarbon reservoir. The well bore logging too may further include a storage canister may be configured to store a portion of the tracer extracted from the hydrocarbon reservoir, and a scanning device may be configured to read a value of at least one fluid saturation property detected by the tracer. The vessel, launcher, retrieval device, storage canister, and scanning device may be enclosed in a tool housing.

  • Patent number: 11242738
    Abstract: A hydrocarbon production apparatus that removes debris from a hydrocarbon fluid is described. The apparatus includes a first conduit, a second conduit, a valve, and at least one baffle. The first conduit includes an inlet, an outlet, and a flow path that extends between the inlet and the outlet. The flow path can receive a flow of a hydrocarbon fluid, which includes debris, from the inlet and direct the hydrocarbon fluid from the inlet to the outlet. The second conduit includes a debris receptacle. The valve is fluidly coupled to the second conduit and can isolate the debris receptacle from the flow path of the first conduit and at least a portion of the second conduit. The at least one baffle is oriented to direct at least a portion of the debris from the flow path of the first conduit to the second conduit.
