  • Publication number: 20050108082
    Abstract: A method for quantifying and communicating marketing-related information relating to an entity, comprising: assigning a score to each of a plurality of pre-determined marketing-related dimensions, each score being out of a pre-determined maximum possible score; and communicating said scores as a characteristic of said entity. Preferably said pre-determined marketing-related dimensions are: idea forming; relationship building; behavior activation; help or support; and product or service or environment experience. Each dimension may be assigned a score out of seven, and the total of the scores may be limited so as not to exceed a pre-determined maximum possible total of 22. The scores are preferably plotted in a radar chart format, and this may be accomplished using pre-printed paper.

  • Patent number: 6691781
    Abstract: It is common in oil extraction operations to reinject produced gas and\or water back into hydrocarbon bearing formations in order to maintain formation pressure. Conventional production facilities normally flow all formation fluids to the surface and subsequently reinject the required fluids back into the formation, which can be extremely inefficient due to the high power input required to overcome the large pressure differential between the surface and formation level. A production fluid handling method and apparatus for separating downhole at least gaseous and liquid components (16, 18, 20) of fluid produced from a hydrocarbon bearing formation (12), and reinjecting at least a portion of the gaseous and liquid components (16, 18, 20), as required, back into the formation (12). Re-injection also occurs downhole.

  • Patent number: 6601651
    Abstract: A downhole gas compression system is adapted for location in a bore of a natural gas-producing well (10), the system comprising an axial flow compressor (32) and a gas-filled electric drive motor (30). The motor drives the compressor to compress the produced gas, the compressed gas being directed upwardly through production tubing (20) to surface.
