Publication number: 20220290551Abstract: Additive is introduced into a tubular that carries produced fluid from a wellhead; the additive addition prophylactically guards against damage to the tubular, such as from corrosion or oxidation. Gas from the wellhead is utilized as a pressure source for driving the additive into the tubular. The rate of additive injection is varied based on characteristics of the tubular or fluid in the tubular. Characteristics of the fluid in the tubular include iron content, residual additive, moisture content, and flowrate; characteristics of the tubular include its corrosion rate of the tubular. The characteristics are measured real time, measured historically, or predicted from a model.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 9, 2021Publication date: September 15, 2022Applicant: Saudi Arabian Oil CompanyInventors: Nisar Ahmad Ansari, Mohamed Soliman, Samusideen Adewale Salu, Talal Al-Zahrani

Patent number: 11376524Abstract: A system includes a device disposed within a storage tank. The device includes a cyclonic separator and an electrostatic coalescer. The cyclonic separator is configured to receive and separate phases of a multi-phase fluid stream. The cyclonic separator is configured to induce cyclonic flow of the multi-phase fluid stream to separate the multi-phase fluid stream into a gas stream and a liquid stream. The liquid stream includes a first liquid phase and a second liquid phase. The cyclonic separator is configured to discharge at least a portion of the gas stream and at least a portion of the liquid stream. The electrostatic coalescer is downstream of and fluidically connected to the second outlet of the cyclonic separator. The electrostatic coalescer is configured to demulsify the liquid stream by causing coalescence of liquid droplets of one of the first or second liquid phases.Type: GrantFiled: September 4, 2020Date of Patent: July 5, 2022Assignee: Saudi Arabian Oil CompanyInventors: Mohamed Ahmed Soliman, Nisar Ahmad Ansari

Patent number: 11290701Abstract: A system that incorporates teachings of the present disclosure may include, for example, a process that includes obtaining three-dimensional image content having first and second images. The first and second images include first and second numbers of pixels. The first and second images are arranged according to a shared coordinate system to portray different perspectives of a common scene. A first portion of pixels are removed from the first image based on a filtering of the first image, resulting in a first remaining number of pixels. A second portion of pixels are removed from the second image based on positions of the first portion of pixels in the shared coordinate system, resulting in a second remaining number of pixels. The first remaining portion of pixels is combined with the second remaining portion of pixels to form a transport frame for delivery to a media processor. Other embodiments are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: January 25, 2019Date of Patent: March 29, 2022Assignee: AT&T Intellectual Property I, L.P.Inventors: Pierre Costa, Ahmad Ansari

Publication number: 20200364181Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for implementing an event based retention schedule for a read only file. When a regular file is to be converted to an event based retention read only file, an “event-retain” property may be enabled on the file allowing the feature to be implemented. Then, that file may have its permissions changed to read only. This will allow the file to be changed to a read only file without using a default retention time. Then, once the event is triggered, the retention time may be set so the file can be scheduled for automatic deletion.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2020Publication date: November 19, 2020Inventors: Akshatha GANGADHARAIAH, Balamurugan RAMAJEYAM, Raman MADAAN, Subhash A.
