  • Publication number: 20230265745
    Abstract: A sand screen assembly for a subterranean wellbore includes a base pipe having a central axis and including a flow port extending radially therethrough. The sand screen assembly also includes a screen element disposed about the base pipe and radially spaced from the base pipe to define an annulus radially positioned between the screen element and the base pipe. In addition, the sand screen assembly includes a manifold formed about the based pipe. The flow port is in fluid communication with the manifold and axially overlaps with the manifold. Further, the sand screen assembly includes a phase change material disposed within the manifold. The phase change material is configured to melt at a temperature below a melting temperature of the base pipe and flow into the flow port.

  • Patent number: 11015419
    Abstract: Bypass devices are disclosed for providing alternative flow paths within an annulus formed around a production string of a subterranean wellbore. In some embodiments, the bypass devices include inlet flow paths and outlet flow paths in fluid communication with the annulus so that fluids may flow through the inlet and outlet flow paths to bypass a blockage in the annulus. The bypass devices are also configured to avoid internal blockages within the internal flow paths defined by the inlet flow paths and outlet flow paths.

  • Publication number: 20190263894
    Abstract: Antibody variants originating from the monoclonal antibody 13C6, and wherein the N-glycosylation site within the constant region of the heavy chain contains a glycan that is either wild-type or largely devoid of fucose residues, will bind Ebola virus glycoprotein and provide surprising efficacy in treating animals or humans infected with Ebola virus when used in combination with one or more additional anti-Ebola mAbs. Such antibody cocktails are vastly superior to other known monoclonal antibodies or monoclonal antibody combinations in treating animals and humans infected with the Ebola virus.

  • Patent number: 10233071
    Abstract: A novel fluid dispenser system is described. The system is comprised of a plurality of connectors that each connect to one a plurality of fluid supply containers and, once connected, hold a valve on the supply container in an opened position. The connectors are connected, using flexible tubing, to a valve manifold that selectively dispenses fluid from each of the supply containers. The system provides a means of selectively and safely delivering fluid from large and ungainly supply containers without the need for lifting or otherwise manipulating the supply container itself. The system is especially useful in delivering laundry detergent and other additives from supply containers to a washing machine in a home use application.

  • Publication number: 20180142539
    Abstract: A method is provided for gravel packing an open hole section of a hydrocarbon producing well. The method includes injecting a slurry comprising particulates dispersed in a carrier fluid into an annular space in the open hole section of the wellbore, and depositing the particulates in the annular space to form a gravel pack. Typically, inter-granular bonds form among the particulates, and thus form the gravel pack. In some embodiments, the inter-granular bonds generate grain-to-grain compressive strength which is strong enough to keep the gravel pack immobile.
