  • Reverse frac pack treatment
    Patent number: 10989033
    Abstract: A treating tube may be positionable in a wellbore to create a passage internal to the treating tube and a passage in an annulus between the treating tube and a wellbore casing. Fluid may be injected into a fracturing zone from above or below a pay zone adjacent to the wellbore through a first of the two passages to expand the fracturing zone downhole or uphole, respectively, into the pay zone. Additional fluid may be injected into the pay zone through the second of the two passages to control the continued expansion of the pay zone into a desired shape. As proppant is routed through the first passage and deposited into the fractures, fluid flow in the second passage may be reversed to allow fluid to flow from the pay zone to the surface of the wellbore to control the placement of the proppant in the pay zone.

  • Generating and caching software code
    Patent number: 10963233
    Abstract: Aspects of the subject matter described herein relate to generating and caching software code. In aspects, a target device may receive software to install. The software may include source code that has not been compiled. The target device may install the software and indicate the source code of the package is to be compiled into intermediate or executable code that is persistently stored. If the target device receives a request to execute the software prior to it being compiled, the target device may compile and execute the software without delay. If the target device receives a request to execute the software after it is compiled, the target device may obtain and execute the compiled code. The behavior above may also be applied to scripting code obtained from a server remote to the target device.
