Abstract: A downhole radial flow steam generator for oil wells that includes an annular casing and a water passage extending therethrough with a porous medium between the casing and passage with electrode means within the generator to heat the water into steam or hot water wherein the fluid is directed radially through the medium and the annular casing into a preselected earth strata to heat oil therein and reduce its viscosity for pumping to the surface.

Abstract: A method for determining both connate water saturation and salinity in an oil-bearing reservoir with a single invasive well test is disclosed. In this method, a fluid, miscible with the reservoir oil and having the ability to dissolve a limited amount of the connate water where the solubility of the water in the fluid depends on the salinity of the water, is injected into a well penetrating the reservoir. The reservoir is then produced until oil breakthrough occurs. Samples of the produced fluids are analyzed for their water content. This water content is plotted as a function of the volume of fluids produced. The resulting curve is compared to similar curves generated by mathematical simulation.

Abstract: A method is disclosed for determining the relative amounts of two fluid phases in a subterranean formation, one phase being mobile and the other being substantially immobile. A sweep fluid which is substantially free of the immobile fluid is injected into the formation by means of a well in an amount such that a measurable first portion of the sweep fluid in the formation adjacent the injection well remains unsaturated with the immobile fluid, and a second portion adjacent the first portion becomes saturated. The sweep fluid is then produced from the formation, preferably by means of the injection well. The concentration of immobile fluid dissolved in the produced sweep fluid is measured as a function of volume produced to determine the volumes of the two sweep fluid portions; these volumes are then used to calculate the relative amounts of the two fluid phases in the formation.

Abstract: A method for determining the relative amounts of two fluid phases in a subterranean formation containing one mobile phase and a substantially immobile phase. A fluid which is substantially free of the immobile phase is injected into the formation by means of a well in an amount such that a portion of the injected fluid in the formation remains unsaturated with the immobile phase. The injected fluid is then preferably produced from the formation by means of the injection well. In another embodiment, the injected fluid is produced from the formation by means of a second well. The concentration of immobile fluid dissolved in the produced fluid is measured to determine the relative amounts of the two fluid phases in the formation.

Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed for use with an EDM machine for controlling the motion of the tool relative to a workpiece. In one embodiment, during the ON time, low power pulses are applied across the machining gap immediately prior to machining pulses. A gap voltage signal produced in response to the low power pulses is used exclusively as an input to control the tool feed mechanism. In another embodiment, the gap voltage signal produced by a low power pulse is combined with a gap current signal produced by a machining pulse to generate control signals which are used to produce command signals for the tool feed mechanism. Further, these control signals may be used to drive a meter which provides a visual indication of the general condition of the machining gap.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method for determining the fractional flow and corresponding fluid saturation of fluid phases in a subterranean oil-bearing formation containing more than one mobile fluid phase. A carrier fluid containing a plurality of precursors is injected into the formation by means of a well. The carrier fluid is substantially insoluble in a first fluid phase and miscible with a second fluid phase in the formation. Each of the precursors has a distinct partition coefficient between the carrier fluid and the first fluid phase which differs from the partition coefficients of the other precursors. Each precursor forms at least one tracer product within the formation with each tracer having a partition coefficient between the carrier fluid and the first fluid phase which differs from that of its corresponding precursor.

Abstract: In an EDM process, a method and apparatus are disclosed for determining the quality of a machining gap by detecting a voltage signal across the gap in response to a low power pulse applied immediately prior to a machining pulse. Upon detecting a first predetermined number of consecutive inferior gap voltage signals in response to corresponding low power pulses the application of low power pulses and machining pulses is terminated for a predetermined period of time. Thereafter, only the low power pulses are applied to the machining gap; and after detecting a second predetermined number of consecutive good gap voltage signals in response to corresponding low power pulses, the machining pulses are reapplied.
