  • Patent number: 11773693
    Abstract: A method for providing a mixture downhole at or about a location in an open or cased wellbore. The method includes extending a retrievable delivery sub-system downhole through the wellbore, delivering two or more chemical components downhole through the retrievable delivery sub-system, and mixing the two or more chemical components to provide the mixture at or about the location. The delivery sub-system has a tubing assembly having at least two fluidly separated delivery channels, and each delivery channel is for delivering at least one of the two or more chemical components.

  • Patent number: 11279602
    Abstract: A portable lifting jack has a drivable mechanism operating a jack shaft formed of telescoping lifting screws. A microprocessor controls power to selectively turn electric motor to drive the operating mechanism. An in-line current draw sensor senses electric load of the motor and communicates this to the microprocessor. One detected electrical load is an electric load spike indicative that the jack shaft has contacted a mechanical load. A potentiometer connected to the operating mechanism senses extended position of the telescoping lifting screws and communicates this position to the microprocessor, which is programmed to derive when snug contact is achieved with an encountered mechanical load and to pause operation of the electric motor. In a synchronized array of jacks, all are paused to await further operator input, which may be coordinated through a remote control.

  • Patent number: 10851620
    Abstract: An injection and downhole-mixing system and method mix two or more components downhole in a wellbore. The system delivers two or more components via fluidly separated delivery channels from the surface into a downhole injection point of the wellbore wherein they are mixed and injected into the wellbore to form a solidifying isolation mixture therein at or about the downhole injection point. After set, the isolation mixture forms a solid, impermeable barrier in the wellbore. The components for forming such barriers may be epoxies, polymers, resins, resin-based gypsum cements, and the like.

  • Patent number: 7219046
    Abstract: A method, apparatus, system, and signal-bearing medium that in an embodiment select a simulator input fragment, characterize an I/O model using a set of simulator input fragments, create a set of behavioral models based on the characterization and compare the set of behavioral models to the I/O model. In an embodiment, the set of behavioral models is compared to the I/O model by creating simulator input decks that include net topology for the I/O model and the set of behavioral models, simulating the decks, and comparing the output from the simulating.
