Abstract: The present invention is related to a downhole device for hydrocarbon producing wells without conventional tubing (tubingless completion), which improves the hydrocarbon production (gas, oil and condensate), selectively controls produced solids (reservoir sand and hydraulic fracture proppant) and eliminates liquid loading. The device of the present invention is designed according to selected well and reservoir characteristics by an integral methodology which includes the stages: data collection and analysis of the well operating conditions, selection of candidate well, sampling and analysis of produced solids, simulation of production conditions, design and manufacture and installation.

Abstract: A technique includes receiving a packet at a network device of a plurality of network devices in a network. The packet is to be routed to a destination network device. The technique includes determining, by a routing engine of the network device, a plurality of candidate routes for the packet to be routed to the destination network device; and grouping, by the routing engine, the plurality of candidate routes into a first set of candidate routes and a second set of candidate routes based on hop counts that are associated with the plurality of candidate routes. The technique includes the routing engine selecting one of the first or second sets based on a congestion metric threshold; and the routing engine selecting a candidate route from the selected first or second set based on weight metric values that are associated with the candidate routes of the selected first or second set. The technique includes the routing engine selecting an egress port associated with the selected candidate route.
