  • Publication number: 20240146639
    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, articles of manufacture, and methods are disclosed to reduce emissions in guided network environments. An apparatus includes interface circuitry, machine readable instructions, and programmable circuitry to at least one of instantiate or execute the machine readable instructions to collect data from respective network nodes corresponding to a request to access information, predict an emission of accessing the information via the respective network nodes using the data, and select a network path including at least one of the network nodes based on the predicted emission.

  • Publication number: 20240103743
    Abstract: Systems, apparatus, articles of manufacture, and methods are disclosed to store data based on an environmental impact of a storage device. An example apparatus to store data, the apparatus includes programmable circuitry to at least one of instantiate or execute the machine readable instructions to determine a first environmental impact associated with storing the data in a first storage device, determine a second environmental impact associated with storing the data in a second storage device, and cause the data to be stored in one of the first storage device or the second storage device based on the first environmental impact and the second environmental impact.

  • Patent number: 6550536
    Abstract: A downhole coiled tubing recovery apparatus and method which utilizes vibration and resonant vibration in particular, to remove coiled tubing and/or other objects which are stuck or jammed downhole in a well. In a preferred embodiment the coiled tubing recovery apparatus includes an oscillating apparatus suspended from a rig and fitted with a coiled tubing bail for mounting the coiled tubing and the method includes guiding the coiled tubing from a reel through the bail and into and from an injector head and the well, responsive to raising and lowering of the oscillating apparatus and the tubing bail. One or more rod clamps are typically used in connection with the coiled tubing bail for manipulating the coiled tubing through the injector head to and from the reel. In another embodiment of the invention the coiled tubing bail is omitted and the coiled tubing is suspended directly from a fitting attached to the oscillator and extends through the injector head into the well.

  • Patent number: 6412560
    Abstract: A tubular injector with snubbing jack and oscillator, which eliminates the need for overhead tubular and oscillator support structure and utilizes resonant vibration to remove tubulars (2) and other objects which are stuck in a well. In a first embodiment the apparatus includes a mechanical oscillator (22) mounted on a snubbing jack (30), wherein the tubular load on the snubbing jack (30) can be released and transferred to the oscillator (22) when the tubular (2) is stuck, for vibrating and loosening the tubular (2) in the well. In another embodiment the apparatus is designed to handle coiled tubing (6) and a snubbing-type jack (39) is used in association with a conventional coiled tubing guide (37) and a coiled tubing injector (14), for guiding the coiled tubing (6) from a reel through the guide (37) and through a hollow tubular stem (9) in the oscillating apparatus (22), into the injector (14) and the well.
