  • Patent number: 11982183
    Abstract: A downhole fluid sampling tool comprising one or more probes configured to take at least one fluid sample from the wellbore and perform a Saturates, Aromatics, Resins, Asphaltenes (SARA) analysis on the at least one fluid sample. Additionally, the downhole fluid sampling tool comprises an information handling system for developing a first remediation operation based at least in part on the first SARA analysis and performing the first remediation operation on the first fluid sample to form a first remediated fluid sample.

  • Publication number: 20240151140
    Abstract: In general, in one aspect, embodiments relate to a method, that includes lowering a downhole tool to a target depth of a wellbore, sampling reservoir fluid containing asphaltene at the target depth using the downhole tool, controlling a pressure of the sampled reservoir fluid while downhole to induce one or more phase transitions of the asphaltene, measuring the sampled reservoir fluid after inducing the one or more phase transitions, and identifying fluid composition of the reservoir fluid based on the measuring.

  • Patent number: 11976553
    Abstract: A test tool attached to test string comprising a fluid conduit is deployed to a test position within a wellbore. The deployment includes hydraulically isolating a portion of the wellbore proximate the test tool to form an isolation zone containing the test position. A fluid inflow test is performed within the isolation zone and an initial formation property and a fluid property are determined based on the fluid inflow test. A fluid injection test is performed within the isolation zone including applying an injection fluid through the test string into the isolation zone, wherein the flow rate or pressure of the injection fluid application is determined based, at least in part, on the at least one of the formation property and fluid property.

  • Patent number: 11946361
    Abstract: Quality factors associated with formation pressure measurements at various depths in the geologic formation are determined based on one or more well logs of formation properties in a geologic formation. A formation testing tool with two or more probes is positioned in a borehole of the geologic formation based on the quality factors. The two or more probes in the borehole perform respective formation pressure measurements, where each formation pressure measurement is performed at a different depth. The formation pressure measurements and the given distance between the two or more probes indicate a formation pressure gradient.

  • Publication number: 20240093595
    Abstract: A method and system for identifying scale. The method may include disposing a fluid sampling tool into a wellbore. The fluid sampling tool may comprise at least one probe configured to fluidly connect the fluid sampling tool to a formation in the wellbore and at least one passageway that passes through the at least one probe and into the fluid sampling tool. The method may further comprise drawing a formation fluid, as a fluid sample, through the at least one probe and through the at least one passageway, perturbing the formation fluid, and analyzing the fluid sample in the fluid sampling tool for one or more indications of scale.

  • Publication number: 20240068366
    Abstract: A microsampling device for taking fluid samples in a wellbore. The microsampling device may comprise a microsampling tube in which one or more microsamplers disposed in the microsampling tube. Additionally, the microsampling device may comprise a fluid flow line connected to the microsampling tube in which a fluid sample traverses and a secondary fluid flow line in which at least a part of the fluid sample may traverse from the microsampling tube through the secondary fluid flow line and into a wellbore.

  • Publication number: 20140050423
    Abstract: A biodegradable lawn waste collection system is provided. The system generally includes a waste receiver, a shaping insert, and a handle. The waste receiver may comprise a mesh structure having a filling end and a sealing end. The mesh structure may be formed from a biodegradable polymer composition. The shaping insert is configured for removable reception within the filling end of the waste receiver. The shaping insert provides the waste receiver with rigidity and stability when filling the waste receiver with lawn waste. After the waste receiver has been filled with lawn waste, the shaping inert is removed and the filling end is secured, such as by tying a knot. The full waste receiver is then releasably attached to the handle, which enables the full waste receiver to be easily carried or dragged to a desired destination.

  • Patent number: 6220465
    Abstract: The present invention would be fabricated from a plurality of rectangular boxes having several external slots along their outer surface. The rectangular boxes would be placed against one another, and would have a plurality of female tracks running lengthwise along each outer surface. Female tracks from adjoining boxes would join up, allowing a male track to be inserted through both female tracks, locking them in place. The present invention would include a center-mounted rectangular box which would include a hinged door. Additional rectangular boxes could be made available for use if desired, depending on the size of a particular freezer unit. The present invention would be sold as a kit, and would come in configurations to fit top mounted, side mounted, and full freezers.

  • Patent number: 4772864
    Abstract: A multilayer circuit prototyping board for prototyping circuits in a three-layer transmission line structure. The multilayer circuit prototyping board includes grooves and mesas on one side thereof, with wires to be run in the grooves for interconnecting electronic components. The electronic components are mounted on the bottom surface of the prototyping boards with leads protruding through holes in a bottom ground plane into the grooved portions. Wires or solder bridges are located within the grooves for interconnecting the leads of the various electronic components. A removable top ground plane is then placed atop the board base for completing the three-layer structure.
