  • Patent number: 11847729
    Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to methods, systems, and computer-readable media for remote production collaboration tools. The remote production collaboration tools can include one or more client devices, a server providing a single connection point, and an animation server configured to produce an animated production. The one or more client devices may provide motion capture data, audio data, control data, and/or associated timestamps. The animation server is configured to process the motion capture data, audio data, control data, and/or the associated timestamps and create the animated production. The animated production may be transmitted as a video stream.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7660670
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for predicting zonal productivity of an oilfield drilling operation. The method includes acquiring critical drawdown pressure profile (CDPP) of at least one selected from a group consisting of an open well and a cased well, establishing a CDPP criteria according to geomechanics based model, identifying sand failure according to the CDPP criteria, and predicting zonal productivity of a drilling operation according to the sand failure.

  • Patent number: 6672285
    Abstract: A HEUI system uses a fixed displacement, radial piston pump to provide a generally constant pump flow of high pressure hydraulic fluid over the operating speed range of the radial piston pump to minimize parasitic power drains on the engine. The radial piston pump includes an orificing suction slot to vary the pump displacement over the operating speed of the pump. A throttling valve at the pump inlet may be provided to starve inlet fluid feed if reduced flow to the injectors is additionally required.

  • Patent number: 6227167
    Abstract: A HEUI system uses a fixed displacement, axial displacement pump to provide a generally constant pump flow of high pressure hydraulic fluid over the operating speed range of the pump to minimize parasitic power drains on the engine. The axial piston pump includes a orificing suction slot to vary the pump displacement over the operating speed of the pump. A throttling valve at the pump inlet may be provided to starve inlet fluid feed if reduced flow to the injectors is additionally required.

  • Patent number: 6217289
    Abstract: An axial piston pump has a rotatable input shaft integral with a rotatable swash plate. A non-rotatable cylinder contains a plurality of axially movable pistons having spherical ends extending through the cylinder journaled in slipper assemblies that are in contact with the swash plate. A retainer plate in contact with the slipper assemblies is spring biased to urge the slippers against the swash plate to maintain the swash plate in fixed axial position. The input shaft is journaled only by a sleeve bearing while an annular thrust bearing plate between pump housing and a swash plate axial end allows for swash plate rotation within the pump housing. The swash plate has a cam shaped circumferential edge surface. An auxiliary pump having a prime mover in contact with the cam shaped edge of the swash plate is mounted between the axial ends of the piston pump.
