Abstract: Methods concerning the thermal insulation of oil and gas wells are disclosed herein. In some embodiments a thermal insulating fluid is inserted into the well completion sequence for thermally insulating a well at a desired depth to reduce paraffin and precipitate formation, improve oil flow rate, and reduce pressure build up in one or more annuli of the well. In other embodiments, the casing of a desired annulus in a completed well is perforated to permit a thermally insulating fluid to be pumped into the annulus and spotted at a desired depth.

Abstract: Implementations for receiving, by the design assistant, an initial set of requirements, each requirement in the initial set of requirements being manually provided by a user, providing, by the design assistant and using a knowledge graph, a first set of questions based on the initial set of requirements and content determined from at least one design document in a set of design documents, filtering, by the design assistant, one or more questions from the first set of questions to provide a second set of questions, providing, by the design assistant, at least a portion of the second set of questions as output to the user to elicit one or more responses from the user, and editing, by the design assistant, the initial set of requirements based on the one or more responses to provide a set of requirements, the set of requirements for the to-be-designed product.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a fuel injector including a centerbody defining an air inlet opening defined substantially radially through the centerbody; an outer sleeve surrounding the centerbody, and an end wall coupled to the centerbody and the outer sleeve. The outer sleeve defines a radially oriented first air inlet port defined radially outward of the air inlet opening at the centerbody. A mixing passage is defined between the outer sleeve and the centerbody. A first fuel injection port is defined substantially axially through the end wall to the mixing passage. The first fuel injection port defines a first fuel injection opening at the mixing passage between the first air inlet port at the outer sleeve and the air inlet opening at the centerbody.

Abstract: A tarpaulin support device for an open top of a trailer or vehicle. The device has a flexible and resilient tube assembly bowed from a normally straight position under tension to an arched position outwardly from the trailer or vehicle. The tube assembly may be removably mounted to the side walls of the trailer or vehicle via brackets with angled bores therethrough. The tube assembly comprises an outer tube and an inner tube located substantially within an outer tube. The inner tube may have a slot running along at least part of its length, such that the portion of the inner tube with the slot has a C-shaped cross-section.
