Patent number: 11952845Abstract: Gas bubble migration can be managed in liquids. In one example, a system can execute wellbore-simulation software to simulate changes in gas dissolution in a liquid over time. This may involve dividing the wellbore into segments spanning from the well surface to the downhole location, each segment spanning a respective depth increment between the well surface and the downhole location. Next, for each time, the system can determine a respective multiphase-flow regime associated with each segment of the plurality of segments based on a simulated pressure level, a simulated temperature, a simulated pipe eccentricity, and a simulated fluid velocity at the segment. The system can also determine how much of the gas is dissolved in the liquid at each segment based on the respective multiphase-flow regime at the segment. The system can display a graphical user interface representing the gas dissolution in the liquid over time.Type: GrantFiled: June 4, 2019Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Landmark Graphics CorporationInventors: Jianxin Lu, Michael T. Pelletier, Dale E. Jamison, Arash Haghshenas, Li Gao

Patent number: 11474272Abstract: A method includes collecting seismic survey data and processing the seismic survey data to identify subterranean conduit coordinates. The method also includes performing a conduit plugging operations using the identified subterranean conduit coordinates. A related system includes at least one seismic source and at least one seismic receiver to collect seismic survey data in response to at least one shot fired by the at least one seismic source. The system also includes a processing unit in communication with the at least one seismic receiver. The processing unit analyzes the collected seismic survey data to identify subterranean conduit coordinates for use with conduit plugging operations.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2014Date of Patent: October 18, 2022Assignee: HALLIBURTON ENERGY SERVICES, INC.Inventors: Joe Eli Hess, Andrew John Cuthbert, Arash Haghshenas, Ronald Wayne Courville

Patent number: 11073011Abstract: Methods and systems for evaluating integrity of a tubular located within a wellbore are provided. The method includes measuring an operation parameter of the wellbore, measuring a feature of the tubular two or more times to produce an integrity log each time the feature is measured, and determining a tubular integrity analysis for the tubular by using the integrity logs and the operation parameter. The tubular integrity analysis contains parameter limitations for the tubular. The method also includes determining if tubular integrity is within or outside the parameter limitations. If the tubular integrity is within the parameter limitations, then determine a duration of integrity for the tubular. If the tubular integrity is outside of the parameter limitations, then determine a location on the tubular for loss of tubular integrity.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2017Date of Patent: July 27, 2021Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Arash Haghshenas, Joe Eli Hess, Andrew John Cuthbert

Patent number: 10415369Abstract: A blowout rate correction system comprises a sensor and a processor in communication with the sensor. The sensor is to measure sound characteristics associated with an exit point of a borehole. The processor is to determine a blowout rate of hydrocarbons exiting the borehole based on the sound characteristics. In some embodiments, the processor activates a device when the blowout rate exceeds a selected threshold. Additional apparatus, methods, and systems are disclosed.Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2014Date of Patent: September 17, 2019Assignee: HALLIBURTON ENERGY SERVICES, INC.Inventors: Arash Haghshenas, Joe E.
