  • Patent number: 11982162
    Abstract: The present invention is related to a downhole device for hydrocarbon producing wells without conventional tubing (tubingless completion), which improves the hydrocarbon production (gas, oil and condensate), selectively controls produced solids (reservoir sand and hydraulic fracture proppant) and eliminates liquid loading. The device of the present invention is designed according to selected well and reservoir characteristics by an integral methodology which includes the stages: data collection and analysis of the well operating conditions, selection of candidate well, sampling and analysis of produced solids, simulation of production conditions, design and manufacture and installation.

  • Patent number: 7509882
    Abstract: The invention concerns a multiaxial universal testing machine, which allows evaluating the mechanical behavior and performance of materials with planar structures, such as fabrics, composites and laminates. The machine comprises 4 horizontal axes, each one with 2 arms, resulting in a final arrangement of 8 gripping jaws at 45°, displaceable along slide rails and moved by the action of 8 independent motors. The connection between a gripping jaw and its respective motor is assured by a linear actuator. The test specimen is fixed by the gripping jaws and can be subject to tensile, compression and fatigue testing, making possible the analysis of the materials behavior under simultaneous multi-directional loads.
