  • Patent number: 12281643
    Abstract: A system includes a subsea geothermal power system. The subsea geothermal power system includes a plurality of well connections configured to couple to a plurality of geothermal wells. The subsea geothermal power system also includes a geothermal power plant fluidly coupled to the plurality of well connections. The geothermal power plant is configured to receive thermal energy from the plurality of geothermal wells and convert the thermal energy into at least one of electrical energy and mechanical energy. The system also includes a subsea station having one or more pumps, one or more compressors, one or more separators, one or more energy storage devices, or a combination thereof. The subsea station is at least partially powered by the at least one of electrical energy and mechanical energy produced by the subsea geothermal power system.

  • Patent number: 12110876
    Abstract: A system includes a subsea geothermal power system. The subsea geothermal power system includes a well connection configured to couple to a hydrocarbon well. The subsea geothermal power system also includes a geothermal power plant fluidly coupled to the well connection. The geothermal power plant is configured to receive thermal energy from a well fluid received from the hydrocarbon well and convert the thermal energy into at least one of electrical energy and mechanical energy. The system also includes a subsea equipment at least partially powered by at least one of the electrical energy and the mechanical energy produced by the subsea geothermal power system.

  • Patent number: 12098710
    Abstract: A system includes a subsea geothermal power system. The subsea geothermal power system includes a separator configured to separate a well fluid from a hydrocarbon well into a first fluid flow and a second fluid flow. The subsea geothermal power system also includes a geothermal power plant coupled to the separator. The geothermal power plant is configured to receive thermal energy from the second fluid flow and convert the thermal energy into at least one of electrical energy and mechanical energy. The separator is at least partially powered by the at least one of electrical energy and mechanical energy produced by the subsea geothermal power system.

  • Patent number: 10733307
    Abstract: A compute server receives a request from a client device, where the plurality of compute servers are part of a distributed cloud computing platform, and wherein the request is a request for a network resource. The compute server executes, by a single process at the first compute server, a response inspector, wherein the response inspector is run in a one of a plurality of isolated execution environments. The compute server receives at least one content item from an origin server in response to the request for the network resource. The compute server detects a protected content marker in the at least one content item that indicates a data breach, and logs information about the request in an inspection log.

  • Patent number: 10171446
    Abstract: A method and an apparatus of limiting a rate at which traffic is received at an origin server are described. A first request for a resource at an origin server is received at a proxy server from a client device. A first response that includes a refresh instruction, a first refresh time, and a first cryptographic token that is not valid until a first predetermined time is reached is transmitted to the client device. The refresh instruction is to cause the client device to request the resource after the first refresh time has elapsed. As a result of the refresh instruction a second request for the resource is received from the client device. The second request includes the first cryptographic token. Responsive to determining that the first cryptographic token is valid, fulfilling the request.

A first request for a resource at an origin server is received at a proxy server from a client device. A first response that includes a refresh instruction, a first refresh time, and a first cryptographic token that is not valid until a first predetermined time is reached is transmitted to the client device. The refresh instruction is to cause the client device to request the resource after the first refresh time has elapsed. A value of a first counter is incremented. As a result of the refresh instruction a second request for the resource is received from the client device. The second request includes the first cryptographic token. Responsive to determining that the first cryptographic token is valid, fulfilling the request.
