  • Publication number: 20240145838
    Abstract: A high power density battery pack for a solar-electric vehicle includes a frame with compartments for battery modules arranged therein. The modules are in thermal communication with a unitary cooling plate disposed underneath. The modules include an array of secondary cells arranged in bottom and top carriers. The bottoms of the cells are in thermal communication with a heat spreader. The cells are oriented with their electrodes in a common plane and electrically isolated by the top carrier. One or more potting materials fills the interstitial spaces between the cells. The cells are connected in parallel and series by interconnects. A module monitoring system tracks the voltage and temperature of the modules. Modules are connected in series by intra-row and inter-row interconnects. A battery management system provides a solar charging mode for both stationary and in-motion vehicle operation, and a low-power quiescent mode when the vehicle is powered down.

  • Publication number: 20240102353
    Abstract: A wellbore system includes an upper head and a lower head coupled to the upper head by one or more fasteners. The wellbore system also includes a seal ring positioned within a seal pocket to engage the upper head to form a first seal interface between the upper head and the seal ring. The wellbore system includes a hanger arranged within a bore. The wellbore system includes a packoff positioned between the hanger and the lower head. The wellbore system includes one or more lock screws to apply a downward force to the packoff to establish a second seal interface between the packoff and the seal ring and a third seal interface between the packoff and the hanger.

  • Patent number: 11790320
    Abstract: An improved approach to creating a plan for a well. A user receives an initial well plan for a planned well and uses the initial well plan as a starting point for alternate well plans. This is done by creating a copy of the initial well plan, allowing the various uses to make changes to the initial well plan, and executing various automatic validation routines on the alternate designs. These validation routines can provide estimated times and costs to complete the planned well use the alternate well plan. The approach can also involved displaying the estimated times and costs of the different candidate well plans. The user can then select one of the candidate well plans as the master well plan. As replanning is done during the operations, this replanning information, along with the actual executed actions, is captured and stored.

  • Patent number: 11668849
    Abstract: A method can include accessing data associated with a well and one or more offset wells; based on at least a portion of the data, generating a set of distributions via parametric estimation, where the distributions are associated with a well-related activity and time; analyzing individual distributions in the set of distributions with respect to at least a portion of the data to pass or fail each of the individual distributions; and, for one or more passed individual distributions, outputting one of the passed individual distributions for the well.

  • Publication number: 20220372860
    Abstract: A method for generating a drilling plan for drilling a wellbore at a field includes receiving data. The data includes one or more of geological properties at the field, wellbore properties, drilling tool parameters, rig characteristics of drilling rigs, and working practices of a plurality of drilling crews. The method also includes generating a plurality of candidate drilling plans for drilling the wellbore at the field. The method also includes estimating one or more outputs for the candidate drilling plans based at least partially upon the data. The one or more outputs include an amount of emissions generated to drill the wellbore using the candidate drilling plans. The method also includes presenting for selection one or more of the candidate drilling plans based at least partially upon the one or more outputs.

  • Publication number: 20220290550
    Abstract: A method can include receiving data for a bottom hole assembly of a drillstring and a drill plan; generating candidate trajectories using at least a portion of the data; generating drill command schedules for the candidate trajectories; ranking the candidate trajectories based at least in part on the drill command schedules; and outputting at least a top ranked candidate trajectory and its corresponding drill command schedule.
