Abstract: Tracer materials that are identifiable in a fluid using electromagnetic signals are integrated into a host material that can be machined into a tool for use in a wellbore. The host material can be dissolvable and designed to dissolve at a certain rate and under certain environmental conditions in the wellbore. As the host material dissolves the tracer material is released into the wellbore where it is measured. Methods of integrating the tracer material and host dissolvable material together are also disclosed.

Abstract: A liner for a shaped charge. The liner, when the associated shaped charge is detonated, does not create a plug, carrot, or residue in the created perforation tunnel.

The liner can be produced using one or more of a severe plastic deformation process, a cold isostatic pressing process, or a spark plasma sinter process.

Abstract: A nozzle for use with a limited entry liner. A limited entry liner can house multiple nozzles and each nozzle can include a barrel and a central, dissolvable region. The dissolvable region is made of a material that has specific properties that allow the central region to withstand pressure and environment in a well up to a certain, known point at which time the central portion will dissolve and allow fluid to pass into the limited entry liner.

Abstract: Introduced here is an artificial intelligence system designed for machine learning. The system may be based on a neuromorphic computational model that learns spatial patterns in inputs using data structures called Sparse Distributed Representations (SDRs) to represent the inputs. Moreover, the system can generate signatures for these SDRs, and these signatures may be used to create definitions of classes or subclasses for classification purposes.

Abstract: A liner for a shaped charge having integrated tracers. The liner, when the associated shaped charge is detonated, does not create a plug, carrot, or residue in the created perforation tunnel. The liner includes integrated tracers that, after detonation, are scattered into the perforation tunnel and then begin to flow back in formation fluid flow and are identifiable in the flow.

Abstract: A method can include processing material via at least one severe plastic deformation process to form a degradable component where the material includes aluminum and one or more metals selected from a group of alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, group 12 transition metals, and basic metals having an atomic number equal to or greater than 31.

Abstract: Introduced here are integrated circuits (also referred to as “chips”) that can be implemented in a neural processing unit. At a high level, the goal of these chips is to provide higher performance for machine learning algorithms than conventional processing units would. To accomplish this, the neural processing unit can include multiple computing components, each of which is able to independently determine the overlap between encoded data provided as input and values stored in a memory.

Abstract: Systems and methods for deploying a sensor ball into a well are disclosed. The ball is buoyant and can carry sensors within. A dissolvable or otherwise removable weight can be attached to the ball such that the ball can sink to a desired depth and when the weight is removed the ball can passively float back to the surface. As the ball floats past inflow stages an accelerometer in the ball records data, allowing better decisions to be made about which stages are producing and which are not.
