Abstract: An apparatus for setting a gravel pack in an oil well through tubing situation includes the steps of running a tool body into the well using an electric wireline deployment. The tool body is precisely positioned relative to the surrounding casing, and radially extending members attached to the tool are used to extend from the tool body and center the tool body in the well bore. Sand control media such as a gravel pack is disposed in the well annulus circumferentially about the tool body using a dump bailer. The use of radially extending members allows the tool body to pass through restricted diameter areas such as production tubing, fittings, nipples, pressure control device, packers, valves and the like.
Abstract: An apparatus for detecting oil and other lighter-than-water contaminants in an effluent stream in a sewage system. The apparatus includes a disposable detector which floats in the effluent stream and detects oil and other contaminants having a specific gravity lighter than the water by absorbing the oil and such contaminants in an oleophilic material, permitting the oil and other contaminants to rise and collect in a collection tube. The acidity of pH of the effluent being monitored is determined by routing a portion of the effluent stream across a litmus paper.
Abstract: The present invention relates to a novel type of boat construction wherein a metal hull, comprised primarily of aluminum metal and there is fitted thereupon a fiberglass interior supported along the exterior outer edge of the hull, with the interior defining a space for occupants of the boat, and spaced apart from the hull itself at points all except the exterior continuous edge of contact between the hull and the interior fiberglass lining.
