  • Patent number: 11146642
    Abstract: To reduce As difficulties associated with sub-site collaboration in hydrocarbon recovery, exploration, operation, or services environments, on-site collaboration between users is provided by including a multi-location virtual collaboration and monitoring system that enables multi-location virtual collaboration, monitoring, and data sharing, between users at sub-sites In hydrocarbon recovery, exploration operation, or services environments. A user may access real-time and stored data using one or more wearable or portable devices. Further, a user may configure data provision and data provision preferences for consumption of data In a variety of formats.
    Type: Grant

  • Publication number: 20210189836
    Abstract: A virtual presence may be established to provide engagement with equipment and operators at a hydrocarbon recovery, exploration, operation, or services environments in order to reduce the expense associated with having knowledge experts, or other personnel, travel to and work at remote hydrocarbon recovery, exploration, operation, or services environments. For example, a wearable device may allow a user, such as a subject matter expert, at a virtual real time operation center to view data from equipment located at the site.

  • Patent number: 10954433
    Abstract: Methods and systems for preparing slurries for treating subterranean formations are provided herein. The methods may include: combining proppant particulates and a base fluid at a well site to form a slurry; and extracting dust from a mixing tank at a well site in which the slurry is disposed. The systems may include: a first tank containing proppant particulates located at a wellsite; a second tank containing a base fluid located at a well site; at least one mixer operable to receive and mix at least a portion of the proppant particulates from the first tank and at least a portion of the base fluid from the second tank at the well site to form a slurry; at least one mixing tank operable to receive the slurry from the mixer; and at least one dust extractor operable to extract dust from the at least one mixing tank.

  • Publication number: 20170348657
    Abstract: A system can include a dry powder mixing tank, a first powder input, a second powder input, a powder output, and a detection device. The first powder input and the second powder input can introduce powders containing different substances that become mixed in the dry powder mixing tank. The detection device can detect information about amounts of different substances in a blend of powder moved out of the tank by the powder output. In some aspects, portions of the blend that do not satisfy parameters for the blend can be diverted from a receptacle for the blend based on the detected information.

  • Patent number: 9671379
    Abstract: Optically interacting electromagnetic radiation with a flowing atmospheric air composition and optically interacting the electromagnetic radiation with an integrated computational element (“ICE”), the ICE being configured to analyze for a contaminant in the flowing atmospheric air. A detector receives the electromagnetic radiation that has optically interacted with the flowing atmospheric air and the ICE and generates an output signal corresponding to a characteristic of the contaminant in the flowing atmospheric air.
