Patent number: 11920445Abstract: A method and system for enhancing petroleum production are provided, in which a fracturing operation can be conducted in a formation through a string and then petroleum is displaced from the fractured formation by selectively injecting fluid into selected fractures in the formation while other non-selected fractures remain without fluid injection. The injected fluid flows out into the fractured formation and enhances recovery from the non-selected fractures. Petroleum is selectively collected from the non-selected fractures.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 2022Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignee: NCS MULTISTAGE, LLC.Inventors: Warren Foster Peter MacPhail, Wolfgang Friedrich Johann Deeg

Publication number: 20150378041Abstract: A method and a system for obtaining information for imaging a subterranean formation are provided. The method comprises emitting sonic or percussive signals from one or more point source locations in or near the subterranean formation; detecting the signals at one or more receiver locations; and processing the signals to calculate the geometry of the ray paths travelled by the signals in the subterranean formation. The system comprises one or more signal sources for generating sonic or percussive signals; a receiver for receiving the signals; and a processor for processing the signals.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 29, 2015Publication date: December 31, 2015Inventors: Warren Foster Peter MacPHAIL, Lars HINRICHS, Glenn Allen LARSON

Publication number: 20100101469Abstract: Left and right main hoppers offset laterally from each other on opposite sides of the centerline of a seeding machine provide an operator access area between the hoppers. A third hopper located forwardly of and between the two main hoppers has a capacity less than that of each of the main hoppers for refuge or male seed. The hoppers are sized to maximize productivity. In one embodiment, first and second hoppers communicate with downstream conduit structure, and valve structure selects one or the other of the first and second hoppers for delivery of the material. The valve structure can be operated remotely and can be map based. Alternatviely, selectively blockable nozzle structure is located in the first and second hoppers. Easily changeable connector structure facilitates row pattern selection and hose routing.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 6, 2010Publication date: April 29, 2010Inventors: Donald Keith Landphair, Christopher Allen Myers, Patrick Eugene Pinkston, Richard Hugo Clark, Chris Warren Foster, Chad Erik Braden, Robert Wallace Martin
