  • Publication number: 20240142417
    Abstract: An automatic online analyzer validation and calibration system receives operating parameter input signals from sensors, receives a measured value of a selected process variable from a physical analyzer, determines a difference between the measured value and an inferred value of the selected process variable determined by a controller based on the operating parameter input signals using an inferential analyzer; and if the difference between the measured value and the inferred value exceeds a threshold, initiates a recalibration of the physical analyzer or recalibration of the inferential analyzer. In one example, the automatic online analyzer validation and calibration is used in a gas dehydration system to validate and calibrate a physical moisture analyzer.

  • Publication number: 20240141755
    Abstract: A device for cleaning a tubular of a wellbore includes a cylindrical body. The cylindrical body has a fishing neck, an upper chamber, a lower chamber, a first spring, a second spring, and a rod. The fishing neck facilitates raising and lowering the device within the tubular. The upper chamber receives a latching dog that abuts against the tubular when the device is raised and lowered within the tubular. The lower chamber receives a brush with bristles that scour a surface of the tubular as the device is lowered. The first spring exerts a force between the latching dog and the cylindrical body, while the second spring exerts a force between the brush and the cylindrical body. Finally, the rod interconnects the latching dog and the brush such that the rod forces the brush to withdraw into the cylindrical body when the latching dog actuates away from the cylindrical body.
