  • Publication number: 20170088765
    Abstract: An invert emulsion wellbore fluid may include an oleaginous external phase; a non-oleaginous internal phase, wherein a ratio of the oleaginous external phase and non-oleaginous internal phase is less than 50:50; and an emulsifier stabilizing the oleaginous external phase and the non-oleaginous internal phase, wherein an average diameter of the non-oleaginous internal phase ranges from 0.5 to 5 microns.
    Type: Application

  • Publication number: 20020087990
    Abstract: Wireless, telephone-based satellite-linked communication system for transmitting a present-time signal to any point on the earth. The telephone-based satellite-linked communication system comprises a digital-based wireless telecommunication system and a digital-based satellite-linked telecommunication system. The digital-based wireless telecommunication system obtains visual and auditory information of a present-time event at one point on the earth and produces a digital-based signal corresponding to the present-time event. The digital-based satellite-linked telecommunication system is receives the digital-based signal corresponding to the present-time event and transmits to substantially any other point on the earth the digital-based signal corresponding to the present-time event. The transmitted digital-based signal has an error-to-signal ratio sufficiently low as to be deemed substantially satisfactory to a select number of viewers.
