  • Patent number: 11920425
    Abstract: A method includes running a wired tubing having perforating arms, a packer, and a scanner into a casing string having an annulus. A portion of the annulus that is void of cement is determined using the scanner. The packer is activated to isolate a downhole section of the casing string from an up-hole section of the casing string. A plurality of holes are punched in the up-hole section of the casing string by ejecting the perforating arms from the wired tubing. The annulus of the casing string is cemented by pumping cement through the plurality of holes into the portion of the annulus void of cement.

  • Publication number: 20230063604
    Abstract: In an example method a system obtains first data regarding a first oil well, including one or more first thermal images of the oil well generated by one or more first thermal cameras. The system determines, using computerized neural network, a presence of a gas leak at one or more locations on the first oil well based on the first data. The one or more locations include at least one of a first location along a pipeline configured to convey gas to a flare area of the first oil well, or a second location at a rig floor of the first oil well. In response to determining the presence of the gas leak at the one or more locations, the system generates a notification indicating the presence of the gas leak at the one or more locations.

  • Patent number: 11480048
    Abstract: A system for collecting subsurface formation data in a petroleum exploration environment includes a drilling tool and a subsurface formation data hub. A drilling tool may include drill pipe, a geophone, a drilling hammer, and a drill bit. The subsurface formation data hub may comprise a seismic data processor and a user interface. The seismic data processor may be operable to drive the drilling hammer at a frequency and an energy, synchronize the geophone to sense seismic vibration at a frequency, and determine subsurface formation properties. The user interface may be operable to display subsurface formation data. A method of collecting subsurface formation data in a petroleum exploration environment may include defining a drilling hammer frequency and energy, synchronizing a geophone to sense seismic vibration at a frequency, generating an impact in the petroleum exploration environment, receiving a returning seismic vibration at the geophone, and collecting subsurface formation data.

  • Patent number: 11391146
    Abstract: A subterranean formation is drilled using a drill bit of a bottomhole assembly to form a wellbore in the subterranean formation. The bottomhole assembly includes a storage chamber and sidewall coring bits. While the bottomhole assembly is disposed within the wellbore, a sidewall of the wellbore is cut into using the sidewall coring bits to obtain sidewall core samples. While cutting into the sidewall of the wellbore using the sidewall coring bits, fluid is circulated through the wellbore. The sidewall core samples are received within the storage chamber.

  • Publication number: 20220010195
    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.
