Publication number: 20240131268Abstract: A fluid injector system for delivering a multi-phase fluid injection to a patient and methods of fluid delivery is disclosed. Methods of creating and using a multi-aspect fluid path impedance model of the injector system are used. Modeling and adjustment of factors that affect impedance and prevent or reduce backflow, reduce the likelihood of fluid flow rate spikes and provide more accurate flow rates and mixing ratios of fluids may be repeated or happen essentially continuously during an injection. The adjustments may be determined before the injection or determined and/or adjusted during the injection. The determination may include sensor feedback commonly used in injectors such as pressure and position feedback as well as other sensors. In all cases, the user can be notified of adjustments through on-screen notices and/or through the recordation of the injection data by a control device of the injector at the conclusion of the injection.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 27, 2023Publication date: April 25, 2024Inventors: Arthur Uber, III, Chelsea Marsh, William Barone, Michael McDermott, Timothy Newing, Michael Spohn, Vince Delbrugge, Ralph Schriver, Kevin Cowan, David Griffiths

Patent number: 11939847Abstract: A method of completing an injection well includes determining a volume of recoverable oil in each of a plurality of intervals along the injection well in a reservoir, and determining a target steam flow for respective ones of the intervals to facilitate recovery of the recoverable oil from the intervals. A quantity of steam outlets in devices along the injection well is determined for delivery of the target volume of steam determined for the ones of the intervals. The injection well is completed including steam injection tubing having the determined number of steam outlets for delivery of the target volume of steam to the ones of the intervals.Type: GrantFiled: November 23, 2022Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Cenovus Energy Inc.Inventors: Kevin Beary, Jessica Girling, Jason Griffiths, Michael N. Holmes, Mike Miller, Joel Schmitz, Lazar Velev

Publication number: 20240068188Abstract: A reconfigurable material moving attachment for a vehicle includes a blade having a blade working face directed toward a front of the blade; and a coupling mechanism for reversibly mounting the blade to the vehicle. The coupling mechanism includes a first coupling portion fixed to the blade and a second coupling portion attachable to the vehicle. The second coupling portion is releasably interconnectable with the first coupling portion in: (i) a forward pushing configuration, in which the blade working face is directed away from the vehicle for pushing of the blade during forward operation of the vehicle to collect and push material in a material collection space adjacent the blade working face, and (ii) a back-dragging configuration, in which the blade working face is directed toward the vehicle for pulling of the blade during reverse operation of the vehicle to collect and back drag material in the material collection space.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 24, 2023Publication date: February 29, 2024Inventors: Kevin Punk, Christopher Griffith, Kelly Nelson
