  • Patent number: 11215050
    Abstract: An inflow indicator apparatus is for a well in an underground structure in which at least one tracer depot is arranged to be in contact with a partial fluid flow flowing from a producing structure into the well. The inflow indicator apparatus has a tubular body, a seal encircling a portion of the tubular body, arrangement of the at least one tracer depot externally on the tubular body, the seal being settable against an encircling wall, and the tubular body, the seal and the encircling wall defining an annulus forming a first flow path for the partial fluid flow which is separated from a second fluid flow path through the inflow indicator apparatus for a main fluid flow formed of a through fluid line in the tubular body, the first flow path extending from the seal to an end portion of the tubular body.

  • Patent number: 9982845
    Abstract: A scale-dampening or scale-inhibiting device is at a radial restriction in a pipeline. A helical flow guide is arranged in a pipeline portion upstream of the restriction. The flow guide projects radially inwards from a pipe wall and has a longitudinal direction slanted relative to the center axis of the pipeline. A method is for dampening or inhibiting scaling in a dead zone of a fluid flow downstream of a restriction in a pipeline.

  • Publication number: 20170350230
    Abstract: An apparatus is for detecting corrosion in an internal pipe bore in a pipeline. A tracer chamber containing a first tracer is formed in a portion of the pipeline and is bounded towards the internal pipe bore by a chamber wall having a first corrosion resistance and including at least one wall portion with a second corrosion resistance, the second corrosion resistance being smaller than the first corrosion resistance. A method is for detecting corrosion in an internal pipe bore in a pipeline.

  • Publication number: 20150315896
    Abstract: A scale indicator is for a flowline for a fluid. At least one partial fluid line which is arranged to carry a partial fluid flow is provided with an inlet port arranged upstream in a main fluid flow and an outlet port arranged downstream in the main fluid flow. The at least one partial fluid line contains a tracer depot which is in fluid communication with the partial fluid flow. A method is for monitoring a scaling state in a flowline.
