Patent number: 11661834Abstract: A monitoring system operable to monitor an oilfield additive system having multiple components. The oilfield additive system is operable to transfer an additive-containing substance for injection into a wellbore. The monitoring system includes sensors each associated with, and operable to generate information related to an operational parameter of, a corresponding one of the oilfield additive system components. The monitoring system also includes a monitoring device in communication with the sensors and operable to record the information generated by the sensors to generate a database. The database includes information indicative of maintenance aspects of the oilfield additive system and/or the oilfield additive system components.Type: GrantFiled: July 9, 2020Date of Patent: May 30, 2023Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Gregoire Omont, Rajesh Luharuka, Corey Ray, Jonathan Wun Shiung Chong, Chuong Nguyen, Lewis Callaway, Liang Du

Patent number: 10544343Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for viscosity measurement of non-Newtonian fluid for in-line measurement and process control. The process involves mixing additives to a base fluid to form the non-Newtonian fluid. The non-Newtonian fluid is fed to an in-line viscosity measurement device to obtain a rheological measurement. The addition of the additives to the base fluid is then adjusted based on the rheological measurement. A system for accomplishing the same is also disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: May 4, 2015Date of Patent: January 28, 2020Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Avinash Ramesh, Garud Bindiganavale Sridhar, Jonathan Wun Shiung Chong, Rajesh Luharuka, Lewis Callaway, Gregoire Omont, Ivan Alaniz

Patent number: 10519758Abstract: Systems and methods for cooling process equipment are provided. The system includes a process fluid source, and a heat exchanger fluidly coupled with the process equipment and the process fluid source. The heat exchanger is configured to receive a process fluid from the process fluid source and transfer heat from the process equipment to the process fluid. The system also includes a control system fluidly coupled with the heat exchanger. The control system is configured to vary a temperature of the process fluid heated in the heat exchanger. Further, at least a portion of the process fluid heated in the heat exchanger is delivered into a wellbore at a temperature below a boiling point of the process fluid.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2016Date of Patent: December 31, 2019Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Jonathan Wun Shiung Chong, Lewis Callaway, Rajesh Luharuka, William Troy Huey, Hoang Phi-Dung Vo

Patent number: 10393108Abstract: A pumping system including a plurality of pumps each having a pump fluid outlet, a drive shaft, a prime mover, and fluid displacing members operatively coupled with the drive shaft. A common fluid conduit may be fluidly coupled with each pump fluid outlet. A control system of the pumping system includes position sensors operable to generate information relating to phase and/or speed of each pump, pressure sensors operable to generate information relating to fluid pressure spikes, and a controller in communication with the position and pressure sensors. The controller is operable to cause the prime movers to adjust the phasing of the pumps with respect to each other, based on the information relating to fluid pressure spikes, and synchronize the speed of the pumps.Type: GrantFiled: March 30, 2015Date of Patent: August 27, 2019Assignee: SCHLUMBERGER TECHNOLOGY CORPORATIONInventors: Jonathan Wun Shiung Chong, Lewis Callaway, Kim Hodgson
