  • Patent number: 11408276
    Abstract: Hydrocarbon wells and methods that utilize a plug with an included tracer material. The hydrocarbon wells include a wellbore that extends within a subsurface region and a downhole tubular that extends within the wellbore and defines a tubular conduit. The hydrocarbon wells also include a plug positioned within the wellbore and a tracer detection structure. The plug forms a fluid seal and includes a tracer material. The tracer detection structure is configured to detect the tracer material within a produced fluid stream that is produced from the hydrocarbon well. The methods include releasing the tracer material from the plug and producing the produced fluid stream. The methods also include detecting the tracer material within the produced fluid stream.

  • Publication number: 20210131612
    Abstract: A method for regasification of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and an LNG regasification terminal employing said method. An LNG carrier is filled with LNG at an LNG hub and transports the LNG to a receiving terminal. The LNG is offloaded to LNG storage at the receiving terminal. The LNG storage has less storage capacity than the storage capacity of the carrier. The LNG is regasified at a regasification rate at the receiving terminal. The carrier is maintained at the receiving terminal until the carrier is empty, and then returns to the LNG hub to be filled with more LNG. The process is then repeated. The storage capacity of the LNG storage is sufficient to supply LNG for regasifying the LNG at the regasification rate until the carrier returns with additional LNG from the LNG hub. The carrier is the sole source of LNG for the receiving terminal.
