  • Patent number: 11885216
    Abstract: A method for completing a subterranean formation includes conveying a perforator assembly into a borehole drilled in the subterranean formation. The perforator assembly includes at least one shaped charge and at least one tracer package that includes at least one fluid production tracer material and a tracer injector. The method further includes forming at least one tunnel in a production structure by detonating one or more shaped charges and injecting the at least one fluid production tracer material into the formation using the tracer injector after the detonation of the at least one shaped charge. The at least one production tracer material physically associates with at least one resident fluid in the subterranean formation.

  • Publication number: 20230175326
    Abstract: An apparatus for perforating a subterranean formation comprises a first perforating gun (33b) having a box end (112) having a nose, a second perforating gun (33a) having a pin end (118) having a shoulder (124); and an alignment assembly. The alignment assembly includes internal threads formed on the box end, external threads formed on the pin end, and an alignment member (120) positioned between the box end nose and the pin end shoulder. The internal threads and the external threads are specified to form an angular alignment between the first perforating gun and the second perforating gun within a first specified angular tolerance. The alignment member has at least one characteristic selected to vary the angular alignment within the first specified angular tolerance without degrading a locking force connecting the first perforating gun to the second perforating gun.

  • Publication number: 20110246909
    Abstract: Embodiments are disclosed that relate to ancillary experience-based pairing. One embodiment provides a method comprising displaying content on a display, and displaying a tag on the display along with the content, where the tag comprises an image encoding instructions for pairing with the host computing device. The method further includes, while displaying the tag, receiving registration information from a client computing device, comparing the registration information to expected registration information, and if the registration information matches the expected registration information, then establishing a pairing between the host computing device and the client computing device. The method further includes, upon establishing the pairing, providing an ancillary user experience to the client computing device, where the ancillary user experience including content ancillary to the content.
