Abstract: A method for producing heavy oil while reducing steam usage, the method including producing oil by SAGD or a SAGD variant in an array of wellpairs until an SOR increases, then shutting in every other injector and injecting steam plus noncondensable gas (NCG) in the remaining injectors and producing oil from all producers.

Abstract: A method for producing heavy oil using solvent injection without gas interference at the electric submersible pump (ESP), the method including completing the injection well with two or more injector tubings, at a heel and toe, and optionally therebetween. Ideally, when gas locking of the ESP is detected, the operator switches to toe dominant injections, mitigating the gas locking problem, and producing oil at a faster rate than possible with evenly distributed injections.

Abstract: There is provided an object, wherein there are particles on the surface of the object, wherein the amount of particles is in the interval 0.041-6 ?g/cm2, wherein the particles comprise palladium in an amount corresponding to 0.02-2 ?g/cm2, neodymium in an amount corresponding to 0.001-2 ?g/cm2, and gold in an amount corresponding to 0.02-2 ?g/cm2, and wherein the particles comprise less than 30 ppm silver, which is considered as silver free. The coating is both biocompatible and antimicrobial and does not suffer from disadvantages associated with silver since the coating is silver free. The coating shows improved action against thrombosis.

Abstract: A method for producing heavy oil, the method including producing oil by SAGD or a SAGD variant in an array of wellpairs until an SOR increases, then shutting in every other injector and injecting steam plus noncondensable gas (NCG) in the remaining injectors and producing oil from all producers. The method reduced steam usage by at least 40% or even at least 50% in the later stages of the well, without comprising oil production.

Abstract: A method for probing the properties of nanoscale materials, such as 2D materials or proteins, via nanometer-scale nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) spectroscopy using individual atom-like impurities in diamond. Coherent manipulation of shallow nitrogen-vacancy (NV) color centers enables the probing of the NQR spectrum of nanoscale ensembles of nuclear spins. Measuring the NQR spectrum at different magnetic field orientations and magnitudes and fitting to a theoretical model allows for the extraction of atomic structural properties of the material with nanoscale resolution.
