  • Patent number: 12631088
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure provide for methods and apparatus related to geological carbon capture systems. Aspects disclose methods and apparatus related to back pressure valves protecting geological based carbon capture systems. These methods and apparatus seek to enhance the efficiency and reliability of carbon capture by addressing the operational challenges posed by subsurface pressure variations. By employing advanced back pressure valve mechanisms, the systems ensure controlled injection and containment of carbon dioxide within geological formations, thereby minimizing the risk of leakage and contributing to long-term environmental sustainability.

  • Publication number: 20250347223
    Abstract: A system includes a casing configured to mount within an open hole of a wellsite and a monitoring system configured to mount outside of the casing and monitor a geological formation. The monitoring system includes a perforating device outside of the casing, where the perforating device is configured to produce one or more perforations into the geological formation outside of the casing in a perforating operation of the monitoring system, where the one or more perforations are configured to enable fluid flow between the geological formation and the monitoring system. The system also includes a fluid circuit outside of the casing, where the fluid circuit is coupled to the perforating device, and the fluid circuit is configured to route a first fluid from the geological formation to a sample collecting system during a sampling operation of the monitoring system.

  • Publication number: 20250346430
    Abstract: A monitoring system for monitoring a geological formation includes a casing of an injection well, wherein the casing is configured to extend through an open hole of the geological formation to define an annular space between the casing and the open hole, and wherein the casing includes a mandrel circumscribing at least a portion of the casing, and one or more monitoring lines configured to monitor the geological formation for the presence of carbon dioxide, wherein the one or more monitoring lines are at least partially integrated with the mandrel.

  • Patent number: 10280708
    Abstract: A flow control valve assembly with a plunger continuously movable between closed, intermediate, and open positions. The plunger has an uphole side and a downhole side opposite the uphole side, and both uphole and downhole sides are exposed to the same hydrostatic pressure in the well, resulting in a flow control device that can be operated with minimal power consumption and still withstanding high pressure loads.

  • Patent number: 7903915
    Abstract: A cable is provided including an inner member, an outer member and an intermediate member. The intermediate member may be positioned between the inner member and the outer member and include a number of disconnection sections spaced apart from one another. In some cases, the cable may include two or more inner members. In addition, a method for preparing an end of a cable may be provided, including the steps of removing a portion of an outer member of the cable and applying a tensile force to an intermediate member of the cable comprising a plurality of disconnection sections. The intermediate member of the cable may be sheared at one of the plurality of disconnection sections, thereby exposing a portion of an inner member of the cable.

  • Patent number: 7886835
    Abstract: A kickover tool is for placing and extracting a valve in a mandrel having a tool body extending in a longitudinal direction and having a hydraulic piston chamber therein. A hydraulic piston is located inside the hydraulic piston chamber. A kickover arm portion is mechanically connected to the hydraulic piston, the kickover arm portion comprising a kickover arm having a tool portion. The kickover arm has a non-kicked-over position where the kickover arm is substantially coaxial with the longitudinal direction and a kicked-over position where the kickover arm is substantially non-coaxial with the longitudinal direction. The kickover arm moves to the kicked-over position upon extension of the hydraulic piston.
