  • Publication number: 20120124935
    Abstract: This present invention provides faux brick facades configured to cover existing brick walls, such as those that serve as fencing or property barriers. The Beauty Brick line consists of square-shaped sheets comprised of a fiberglass and plastic material that can be applied directly to the surface of bricks, and is available in a wide array of sizes. Other attributes of the Beauty Brick sheets include a pliability that accommodates facades that are curved or angled. Additionally, the sheets easily cut to size by the end user. The back of each Beauty Brick sheet features a durable adhesive material that adheres easily to the existing brick surface.

  • Publication number: 20030037923
    Abstract: The volume of a water strata in an oil production reservoir is controlled by reinjecting separated water into that water strata. A production string is extended into a portion of a wellbore that extends laterally within the oil strata of the reservoir. A liquid flow including a hydrocarbon phase and a water phase is conducted from the oil strata into the laterally extending portion of the wellbore at a production zone. The water phase is separated from the liquid hydrocarbon phase within the production string, and then reinjected back into the water strata of the same reservoir from which it came, at a reinjection zone disposed below the production zone.

  • Publication number: 20020189807
    Abstract: A method and system for the downhole separation of a water and oil mixture and disposal of separated water utilizing a hydrostatic pressure head is disclosed. A separator apparatus is located in a wellbore at a depth substantially above a water disposal formation. A mixture of oil and water is received from an oil producing formation and delivered to the separator apparatus. The oil and water mixture is separated into separated water and separated oil by the separator apparatus. The separated oil is delivered to the well surface. The separated water is discharged from the separator apparatus into the wellbore creating a column of water above the water disposal formation. The hydrostatic pressure created by the column of water is ideally sufficient to cause the separated water to dissipate into the water disposal formation.
