  • Systems and methods for determining ambient temperature using lighting based sensors
    Patent number: 10585004
    Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for determining an ambient temperature in a volume using a lighting based sensor. A status of a light with which a temperature sensor is associated is determined. A correction factor is accessed from a computer-readable medium based on the status of the light. A measured temperature is received via the temperature sensor. The measured temperature is transformed based on the correction factor, and the transformed temperature is transmitted from the light to a remote location.

  • Method of well completion
    Patent number: 10544663
    Abstract: A method for well completion employs a combined plugging and perforating operation for creating multiple spaced-apart clusters of perforations and optional stimulation treatments in stages. For each stage to be completed, a frac plug, carried, for example, along a wireline bottom hole assembly with perforating guns, is set in the wellbore distal (toward the toe end of the well) of the most proximal perforation cluster of the previous stage, thereby maintaining open hole conditions that provide adequate flow past the most distal perforation clusters in the current stage and minimizing proppant accumulation in the wellbore from stimulation operations. The method further allows subsequent pump down of tools and equipment even with the plug set in the wellbore.
