Patents by Inventor Miguel Armando Machado

Miguel Armando Machado has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 10724354
    Abstract: A system may include a monitoring device that may receive data associated with one or more properties of a well. The well may produce a flow of hydrocarbons. The monitoring device may receive data associated with the well and determine whether the flow of hydrocarbons includes a percentage of water greater than a threshold based on whether the data is outside a profile associated with the flow of hydrocarbons at the well over time. The monitoring device may then send an alarm notification to another device indicating an increased water cut in the flow of hydrocarbon.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10370958
    Abstract: A method for locally performing a well test may include receiving, at a processor, data associated with a flow of hydrocarbons directed into an output pipe via a multi-selector valve configured to couple to one or more hydrocarbon wells. The method may also include determining one or more virtual flow rates of the liquid and gas components based on the data. The method may then send a signal to a separator configured to couple to the output pipe, wherein the signal is configured to cause the separator to perform a well test for a respective well when the virtual flow rates of the liquid and gas components do not substantially match well test data associated with the respective well, wherein the well test data comprises one or more flow rates of the liquid and gas components determined during a previous well test for the respective well.

  • Patent number: 10072485
    Abstract: A system may include a well device to control a flow of hydrocarbons extracted from a well and a monitoring device to receive data associated with one or more properties of the well and the well device. The monitoring device is disposed on the well device and receives pressure data and temperature data associated with the well device. The monitoring device may then determine an inflow performance relationship, a tubing performance relationship, a choke performance relationship, and a wellhead performance relationship, or any combination thereof based on the pressure data and the temperature data. The monitoring device may also generate at least one plot that illustrates the inflow performance relationship, the tubing performance relationship, the choke performance relationship, and the wellhead performance relationship, or any combination thereof. The monitoring system may then display the at least one plot on a display device disposed on the monitoring system.
