Abstract: A syringe pump includes a lead screw, a motor, and a sliding block assembly. The lead screw has threads and the motor is coupled to the lead screw to rotate it. The half-nut housing has a half nut and a barrel cam. The half nut is disposed within the half-nut housing. The half nut has half-nut threads at an end adjacent to the lead screw void. The half nut engages or disengages with the threads of the lead screw. The half nut includes a half-nut cam-follower surface and a half nut slot. The barrel cam is disposed within the half-nut housing and engages with the half-nut cam-follower surface. The barrel cam includes a pin to fit within the half nut slot such that the barrel cam rotates between a first position and a second position to actuate the half nut between the engagement position and the disengagement position, respectively.

Abstract: Pre-connected analyte sensors are provided. A pre-connected analyte sensor includes a sensor carrier attached to an analyte sensor. The sensor carrier includes a substrate configured for mechanical coupling of the sensor to testing, calibration, or wearable equipment. The sensor carrier also includes conductive contacts for electrically coupling sensor electrodes to the testing, calibration, or wearable equipment.

Abstract: The present application describes improved total recovery of oil, condensate and associated gas in a subterranean formation such that said hydrocarbons are released by a hydraulic fracturing process with a non-gel hydraulic fracturing fluid that comprises an enzyme surfactant fluid with at least one anionic surfactant thereby forming a non-gel hydraulic fracturing fluid enzyme surfactant composition which is injected at 1 to 3 percent of total frac fluid during fracturing.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the release or recovery of subterranean hydrocarbon deposits and, more specifically, to a system for enhanced oil recovery (EOR), by utilizing stabilized enzymatic fluid and cyclic injection of steam or heated fluid into subterranean formations.

Abstract: The present disclosure involves the release or recovery of subterranean hydrocarbon deposits and, more specifically, to a system and method for secondary and/or enhanced oil recovery (EOR), by utilizing waterflooding compositions that include enzymes as well as methods for injecting waterflooding compositions into subterranean formations for oil recovery operations.

Abstract: Disclosed is a system for injecting an enzymatic fluid composition into a gas or gas and oil near-well bore having a wide temperature range. The enzymatic fluid composition is a treatment for reducing oil deposits, asphaltenes, waxes, scale, or other hydrocarbon materials in a gas well or a combination gas/oil well where the production of gas is greater than 50% on a barrel of oil equivalent (BOE) basis.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the release or recovery of subterranean hydrocarbon deposits and, more specifically, to a system and method for enhanced oil recovery (EOR), by utilizing enzyme compositions and water-alternating-gas (WAG) methods for injecting water compositions, followed by miscible, near miscible or immiscible gas into subterranean formations for oil recovery operations.

Abstract: The present application describes enhanced recovery of oil and/or other hydrocarbons in a subterranean formation such that oil and/or hydrocarbons are released by a hydraulic fracturing process with a non-gel hydraulic fracturing fluid that comprises an oleophilic enzyme thereby forming a non-gel hydraulic fracturing fluid enzyme composition which is injected during an initial or later stage.
