Abstract: Methods and systems for determining location of hydrocarbon in unconventional plays are provided. The methods provide at least two steps of measuring formation samples as received, as dried and/or as saturated using high resolution NMR, and subsequent processing of the NMR data to determine one of several formation properties or components where the formation property or the component can be used to locate an oil or gas reservoir, complete a well, and/or increase production efficiency. Also, the present methods provide a series of sequential and ordered combination of steps related to the financial evaluation of number of barrels of oil or cubic feet of gas which can be produced at a location.

Abstract: A testing and validating software program on a host computer is provided having a graphical user interface program, an engine communicating with a target device and responding to command from the graphical user interface, a plurality of test suites having at least one test for testing and validating at least one component of an operating system, and a protocol acknowledgment software package conducive to use with the target device, wherein the protocol acknowledgment software package uses an operating system-generated event handle as a member field of a protocol for releasing an execution thread which is waiting for an acknowledgment message from the target device, and wherein the event handle is placed in a header portion of an acknowledgment message packet and is sent back in the acknowledgment message, and wherein a receiving thread unblocks any send threads of execution which are waiting for the event handle in the acknowledgment message.
