Abstract: A technique facilitates connection of tubulars along a tubing string via a linear motion. A first tubular is provided with a first connector end having a non-circular transverse cross-section, and a second tubular is provided with a second connector end having a corresponding non-circular transverse cross-section. The non-circular cross-section and the corresponding non-circular cross-section are designed to matingly engage when the first and second tubulars are moved linearly toward each other to form a tubing string. A seal is provided to seal the first connector end with the second connector end once linearly engaged. A locking mechanism may be employed to linearly lock the first connector end with the second connector end.

Abstract: A system of solar thermal collectors and an HVAC controller draw heated air through a solar thermal absorbing needle-punched propylene geotextile with limited permeability to air flow, into the interior of poultry livestock house. In various embodiments, the poultry livestock house is divided into zones. Groups of collectors are joined with breather holes on opposite sides of the collectors and solid sides on the ends of each group. Groups of collectors serve each zone of the poultry livestock house. In an embodiment of the system the Environmental Optimization System (“EOS”) provides a system for the intelligent control and monitoring the broiler poultry livestock structure environment through the utilization of a variety of environmental and livestock behavior sensors, apparatus for controlling the thermal collection and existing interior heating/air conditioning/ventilation (“HVAC”) systems, and Internet or cloud based intelligent control and monitoring capabilities of the system.

Abstract: A downhole release mechanism for a drillstring. A first, uphole section and a second, downhole section comprise longitudinal bores and are rotationally locked together via a spline. A collet assembly is connected to the first section, with collet fingers extending into the bore of the second section when the first and second sections are joined. The collet fingers are biased outwardly, and an external shoulder on the collet fingers mates with an internal shoulder in the second section, locking the sections together. A piston is slidably disposed in a bore of the collet, and spring biased uphole. Fluid flow moves the piston to a downhole position, in which the collet fingers are held outwardly and the shoulders locked together. With fluid flow stopped, the piston moves uphole, and sufficient tension on the mechanism shears shear screws and snaps the collet fingers out the internal shoulder, releasing the mechanism.

Additionally, different combinations of profile inserts may be used to create different key profiles from one latching section to the next in tubing strings with more than one latching section.

Abstract: An assembly (100) for the illumination of a wellbore, pipeline, tank, vessel or other environment wherein light is diffused and transmitted through an optically transparent material and projected in and around a field of view of a camera lens (10). A light source is disposed within a cavity at the proximal end (102) of a cylindrical shaped, optically transparent material. Light from the source is received into the transparent material, diffused, and transmitted to the distal end of the light tube (30), where it is projected in front of and around a field of view of a camera. Control of light intensity may be variable, pre-set before operations, or fixed by component design.

A control line is positioned in the recessed bypass slot to facilitate control functions along the lateral tubing string. The recessed bypass slot enables routing of a control line without forming a splice along the control line. In other applications, the Y-block may utilize additional or other features which facilitate the desired operations.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for efficient and effective collection of debris from a wellbore, while permitting simultaneous visual verification of such debris collection. A debris collection assembly comprises a combination of one or more of the following: a reverse circulation assembly, a video assembly and at least one filter assembly. Fluids are circulated into a wellbore annular space via the reverse circulation assembly, into the video assembly where fluid and any associated debris are visually sensed and recorded, into the filter assembly where debris is separated from the fluids and collected, before cleaned fluids are circulated out of the wellbore. The components of the debris collection assembly are substantially modular, and can be run in combination with conventional wellbore cleaning tools (such as, for example, workstring-conveyed brushes, scrapers and/or magnets).
