  • Patent number: 11954740
    Abstract: Systems and methods are described which permit the state, the individual, the individual's case manager, and the individual's circle of support to have real time access to utilization data to monitor services and progress toward outcomes as part of a plan for achieving the individual's goals and maintain the individual's health and wellbeing, as well as to forecast future needs. Systems and methods for sharing billing information across at least two organizations in an integrated manner are also described. A physical node may receive a request for authorization for a user in an organization to access an individual's information in another organization. The request may be logged. The physical node may determine whether the user is authorized to access the individual's information and, if it is, provide appropriate access.

  • Patent number: 11954742
    Abstract: Systems and methods for sharing the information of an individual under care across at least two organizations in an integrated manner are described. These include systems and methods of data collection from multiple sources relating to the individual's care, where the data collection is driven by one or more preset orders. The preset orders may be preset by a user. A physical node may receive a request for authorization for a user in an organization to access an individual's information in another organization. The request may be logged. The physical node may determine whether the user is authorized to access the individual's information and, if it is, provide appropriate access.

  • Publication number: 20230191389
    Abstract: Catalyst beds in refinery reactors require periodic change out due to build-up of contamination and loss of activity. The instant invention mists a liquid chemical solvent in nitrogen carrier gas to solubilize oils and heavy hydrocarbons and to further desorb light hydrocarbons and remove hydrogen sulfide (H2S), to effect decontamination. This process can be advantageously combined with nitrogen cool-down processes in preparation for catalyst unloading.

  • Patent number: 10508228
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a composition and method of fracturing a formation penetrated by a well-bore. The composition and method comprises providing a fracturing fluid that is carbon dioxide (CO2) with at least one friction reducing polymer that is a fluoropolymer dissolved in the CO2 at a concentration of about 0.001 to 0.4 weight percent.

  • Patent number: 10233384
    Abstract: A composition and method required for providing a fracturing fluid pumped down a well bore and into a subterranean formation under conditions of pressure that will fracture the subterranean formation is described. More specifically, the composition increases the recovery of hydrocarbons from a geological formation penetrated by a well bore, wherein the composition includes a fracturing fluid that is liquid carbon dioxide (LCO2) with proppant to aid transport of the proppant in suspension, and thereby create a fracture using a fracturing fluid which is the thickened composition containing fumed silica. When the composition is without a proppant, the viscosity of the composition is increased in order to improve the fracturing operation through aspects such as increased fracture width and reduced fluid leak-off.

  • Publication number: 20180128092
    Abstract: A method, system, and apparatus required for creating a mixture of dry proppant and liquid carbon dioxide (LCO2) for fracturing oil and gas formations is presented. The operation includes making a mixture of dry proppant and liquid carbon dioxide (LCO2) for use in a fracturing operation by supplying dry proppant that is pressurized to between 75 and 600 psia with a gas; further supplying a stream of sub-cooled LCO2 having a pressure substantially equal to that of the pressurized dry proppant; and adding dry, pressurized proppant to the stream of sub-cooled LCO2, thereby forming a mixed LCO2 and proppant fracturing slurry.
