  • Patent number: 11926787
    Abstract: A well cementing method is described for improving cementing quality by controlling the hydration heat of cement slurry. By controlling the degree and/or rate of hydration heat release from cement slurry, the method improves the hydration heat release during formation of cement with curing of cement slurry, improves the binding quality between the cement and the interfaces, and in turn improves the cementing quality at the open hole section and/or the overlap section. The cementing method improves cementing quality of oil and gas wells and reduces the risk of annular pressure.

  • Publication number: 20220155196
    Abstract: This disclosure describes an in-situ surrounding rock testing device and method. The testing device includes a collection device and a control terminal. The collection device includes a pressure cell, displacement meters and a magnetic base. When mechanical properties of surrounding rock are tested, the collection device is only necessary to be installed on an outer surface of a gripper of a TBM. The outer surface of the gripper is coupled to a rear end surface of the magnetic base; a front end surface of the pressure cell and displacement meters are in contact with the surrounding rock. The pressure cell measures pressures undergone by the surrounding rock. The displacement meters measure a total compaction displacement of the surrounding rock relative to the collection device. A pressure-displacement curve of the surrounding rock can be obtained by the testing device while pressing the gripper tightly against the surrounding rock.

  • Patent number: 11138285
    Abstract: A computer-implemented technique receives an input expression that a user submits with an intent to accomplish some objective. The technique then uses a machine-trained intent encoder component to map the input expression into an input expression intent vector (IEIV). The IEIV corresponds to a distributed representation of the intent associated with the input expression, within a vector intent vector space. The technique then leverages the intent vector to facilitate some downstream application task, such as the retrieval of information. Some application tasks also use a neighbor search component to find expressions that express an intent similar to that of the input expression. A training system trains the intent encoder component based on the nexus between queries and user clicks, as recorded in a search engine's search log.
