  • Publication number: 20220228997
    Abstract: A pyrolysis system for evaluating a source rock sample from a subterranean reservoir and methods are described. The pyrolysis system includes a reactor vessel including a body with an open end, a cover attachable to the body, a heating system, a collector assembly. The body and the cover define a sealable chamber; a source rock sample holder sized to be received inside the sealable chamber; and a sensor system. The sensor system includes a direct sensor assembly associated with the source rock sample holder, sized to be received inside the sealable chamber, and operable to measure properties of the source rock sample in the source rock sample holder; and a pyrolysis products sensor assembly in fluid communication with the collector assembly of the reactor vessel.

  • Publication number: 20220074291
    Abstract: A method for production prediction using tracers in an oilfield system is disclosed. The method involves reading, by a computer processor, a set of subsurface field properties characterizing a field system, generating, by the computer processor, a base field model, creating, by the computer processor, a plurality of static models of the field system, running, by the computer processor, a suite of dynamic simulations to produce a plurality of tracer compositions, creating, by the computer processor, a filling envelope function based on the plurality of tracer compositions, calculating, by the computer processor, a production prediction for a measured tracer composition based on the filling envelope function, and executing, by the computer processor, a field operation based on the production prediction, wherein the field operation results in hydrocarbon being extracted from a trap reservoir.

  • Patent number: 8256702
    Abstract: Disclosed is an landing gear that includes at least One constituent element having an upstream air side and downstream air side relative to airflow across the aircraft landing gear in the down position. The landing gear also includes at least one noise reducing unit including at least one individual net having geometric meshes. The net is positioned at the downstream air side of the constituent element and is arranged at the downstream air side so as to reduce noise generating turbulence generated by airflow across the constituent element in its down position.

  • Patent number: 6672075
    Abstract: Cooling systems with liquid for gas turbine engines use the relative motion of the engine stator with respect to the rotor for actuating the coolant pump. The cooling system is completely encapsulated within the engine rotor. The cooling system includes a tank containing the cooling liquid, a coolant pump coupled to the tank to extract the cooling liquid from the tank, a system of ducts and channels extending in the rotor shaft, and rotor disks and rotor blades, where the heat exchanger is positioned either in the compressor drum, or in the end of compressor section.
