Abstract: A system and a method for isolating pressure in a wellbore are described. The system includes a body, a first packer, a second packer, and a control assembly. The body couples to a wellhead and casing. The first packer is disposed within the body and fluidically seals the wellbore providing a first sealing boundary. The second packer is disposed within the body above the first packer to fluidically seal the first packer from the atmosphere providing a second sealing boundary. The first packer and the second packer are spatially arranged within the body to define a packer cavity. The control assembly senses a wellbore pressure on a bottom surface of the first packer, senses a packer cavity pressure, and compares the wellbore pressure to the packer cavity pressure to determine that the wellbore is fluidically sealed from the packer cavity.

Abstract: A geosteering tool receives sensor data from a data collection tool, generates a steering command based on the sensor data and geosteering logic, and sends the steering command to a directional drilling controller. The geosteering tool, data collection tool, and directional drilling controller each take the form of a respective downhole tool in a downhole tool array. Each of the downhole tools comprises a pair of distal ends, and adjacent downhole tools are adjoined at respective distal ends of the adjacent downhole tools. The distal ends at which the adjacent downhole tools are adjoined each comprise a respective ring connector that electrically couples the adjacent downhole tools, and each downhole tool that is adjacent to multiple downhole tools comprises a respective conductive link that electrically couples the ring connectors of the downhole tool. Sensor data is received and the steering command is sent via the ring connectors and conductive links.

Abstract: Systems and methods include a computer-implemented method for neutralizing hazardous gases. Indications of a hazardous gas leak occurring in a detected release area are received at a neutralize hazardous gases (NHS) control system from one or more gas sensors of a production facility. In response to receiving the indications of the hazardous gas leak, hydrogen sulfide (H2S) scavengers are sprayed into the detected release areas by scavenger injection nozzles controlled by the NHS control system. An expandable containment fence is launched by the NHS control system. The expandable containment fence includes a membrane net. The expandable containment fence is configured to contain the hazardous gas leak by preventing the hazardous gas leak from spreading horizontally.
