Abstract: A well advisor system and console for monitoring and managing pressure testing operations at a well site. The system may be accessed through one or more workstations, or other computing devices, which may be located at a well site or remotely. The system is in communication with and receives input from various sensors. It collects real-time sensor data sampled during operations at the well site. The system processes the data, and provides nearly instantaneous numerical and visual feedback through a variety of graphical user interfaces (“GUIs”), which are presented in the form of an operation-specific console. The input and data provides information related to pressure testing at a well site.

Abstract: A system and method for processing and combining data from multiple curves or data-sets in oil field operations based upon a common index. The multiple input curves are combined to form an input vector. The input vector is aligned on the common index, without any values in the curve or data-set being changed. The input vector is then processed to ensure that all curves have values for all index values by interpolation. The input vector may be further processed to create a fixed step increment. An output vector is formed by operation of a set of formulas on the interpolated input vector.

Abstract: The friction between vehicle wheels provided with rubber tires follows three influence curves (5, 6, 8). The friction between a wheel with rubber tire and a road surface is represented by a measuring result curve (1-4) the shape of which is determined symptotically from the rubber tire influence curve (6). Thus the measuring result curve (1-4) will have a characteristic shape with maximum values (1A-4A). The maximum friction is determined by the influence curve of the rubber tire and the road surface respectively, also denoted the maximum friction influence curve (8). Each influence curve has its mathematical model. In the mathematical model for the maximum friction influence curve (8) there is incorporated a slip speed, properties of the car tire and road surface-to-car tire properties. The car tire properties and the pavement-to-car tire properties can be determined as process parameters by measurement.

Abstract: The present invention provides disclosure of a core sampler that includes a rotatably extending outer barrel containing a relatively non-rotating core barrel which is extendable with the outer barrel in response to drilling mud pressure into the material to be cored by a mud turbine which rotates the outer barrel. The core sampler may be run in and out of a drill string on a wire line.
