A pressure response associated with the pressure wave is detected from a second well extending into the formation.

Abstract: A Virtual Tape Emulation (VTE) application is able to be updated without disrupting IO operations by hosts on a set of virtual tape drives managed by the VTE application. When an old VTE application is to be replaced with a new VTE application, the new VTE application is provided with the same configuration information as the old VTE application. Each time a host unmounts a virtual tape from a virtual tape drive on the old VTE application, device management for that virtual tape drive is migrated from the old VTE application to the new VTE application. Specifically, path and channel information for the virtual tape drive is transferred to the new VTE application, and applied by the new VTE application to a respective device on the new VTE application. Once device management for all virtual tape drives has been transferred, the old VTE application is terminated.

Abstract: Techniques for sidelink resource selection, reselection, and reevaluation are disclosed. An apparatus for a user equipment (UE) includes processing circuitry coupled to memory. To configure the UE for 5G-NR sidelink communications, the processing circuitry is to decode an SCI format received via a PSCCH.

The first configuration information identifies a sensing window, and the second configuration information identifies a resource selection window. A boundary of the resource selection window is based on the priority information. A set of candidate single-slot resources is determined during the sensing window using a resource pool. A resource is selected during the resource selection window from the set of candidate single-slot resources.

Abstract: A method is offered to predict and prevent the event of fracture hit (direct fluid communication) between a parent well and a child (active) well. The growth of a child well creates 3D stress field in the vicinity of a parent well. The growth of a child well is simulated using the geomechanic-transport model. A model of interaction between the child well and parent well is provided. The simulations for different job designs create a set of pressure scenario in the parent both for the cases with and without fracture hit (fracture hit catalogue). Comparison (matching) of actual pressure data in the parent and child well with the pre-calculated pressure scenarios indicate the risk of fracture development with a fracture hit, which means a stop in fracturing stimulation.
