  • Patent number: 11566515
    Abstract: A system can include one or more sensors at a wellsite. The system can detect first emission data about emissions with respect to a wellbore over a first period of time. The system can detect second emission data about emissions with respect to the wellbore over a second period of time. The system can determine an adjustment to a plug and abandonment operation with respect to the wellbore based on the first emission data. The system can determine an amount of reduction in emissions from the wellbore using the first emission data and the second emission data. The system can output the amount of reduction in the emissions.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 10026133
    Abstract: Analyzing wells of mature field. At least some of the illustrative embodiments are methods including: gathering data about a group of wells; determining a condition of each well; creating an initial prioritization; creating a secondary prioritization based on at least one criteria provided by the client and the initial prioritization; analyzing at least some of the wells selected based on priority of each well in the secondary prioritization; interfacing with a service providing entity; providing to the client a first recommendation regarding corrective action, the first recommendation without regard to the service providing entity's availability to perform services; providing to the client a second recommendation regarding corrective action, the second recommendation taking into account the service providing entity's availability of crews and equipment; and performing at least one corrective action on at least one well, the performing based from the first or second recommendations.

  • Patent number: 4034460
    Abstract: An optical grating having expansion characteristics equivalent to the thermal expansion characteristics of a preselected material is formed by providing a thin grating sheet of a material different from the preselected material, forming spaced slits in the sheet to overly an opening in an underlying plate of such preselected material, thereafter securing the sheet to the plate along narrow zones outside the opening, and finally removing the portions of the sheet lying outside such zones.
