  • Publication number: 20240426186
    Abstract: A wellhead includes a wellhead housing, a hanger configured to support a casing, and multiple passages formed in or along the wellhead housing, through the hanger, external to the wellhead housing, or any combination thereof. The wellhead also includes at least one movable component configured to move relative to the multiple passages to selectively enable a flow of fluid via the multiple passages from an annular space defined between the wellhead housing and the hanger below the hanger to a portion of a bore within the wellhead housing above the hanger.

  • Patent number: 11244280
    Abstract: An approach is provided for using a machine learning model to reduce food waste. Estimation models for food items are created by using a machine learning model. The estimation models have prediction functions specifying timelines during which the food items are not spoiled and are in a condition for consumption. Prediction function solutions are generated for a food item inventory to indicate menu items for respective time periods. Each menu item includes food item(s) which are in condition for consumption based on the estimation models. Menu recommendations corresponding to the time periods are generated. Each menu includes menu item(s) indicated by the prediction function solutions. The menu recommendations reduce a waste of the food items through spoilage by increasing a likelihood of consumption of the food items within the respective timelines.

  • Publication number: 20050006107
    Abstract: A running tool delivers a string through a wellhead in the same trip as a hanger with a seal and locking assembly. The string is secured downhole and the running tool is manipulated to release a lock to hold the hanger in a sealed position in the wellhead prior to a tensile force being applied. A ratchet assembly permits the string to stretch and the tensile force is then locked in. The running tool is rotated out of the string and the tree is installed on the wellhead for subsequent procedures or production.
