  • Patent number: 12241325
    Abstract: A well system includes a wellbore, production tubing extended into the wellbore and thereby defining an annulus between the production tubing and an inner wall of the wellbore, and a side pocket mandrel interposing upper and lower sections of the production tubing and including a body that provides a lateral projection extending radially outward from the body, and a pocket defined within the lateral projection. The well system further includes a chemical vessel receivable within the pocket and operable to discharge an injection fluid stored within the chemical vessel into the production tubing via one or more apertures provided in the chemical vessel.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 12163416
    Abstract: A system for validating a flow rate of a water injection well includes a first data source providing operating data associated with the well, a data repository, a digital model of the well, a second data source, and a processor. The processor is configured to obtain operating data, including a measured flow rate, historical data, and the digital model, determine a modelled flow rate using the digital model based on the historical injection data and the operating data, compare the measured flow rate with the modelled flow rate to determine a delta, receive a second measured flow rate from the second data source, compare the second measured flow rate to the modelled flow rate to determine a second delta, and in response to determining that the second delta does not exceed the threshold value, automatically generate a request for remediation of the first data source.

  • Patent number: 12110786
    Abstract: A sensor assembly includes a position measurement sensor, a slickline, and a processor. The position measurement system measures angular velocity of the sensor assembly inside a wellbore that extends in an axial direction. The slickline raises and lowers the position measurement sensor in the wellbore. The processor executes a series of measurement units including: an inclination measurement unit, a coordinate measurement unit, a depth measurement unit, and a data storage unit. The inclination measurement unit determines an inclination of the position measurement sensor. The coordinate measurement unit determines radial coordinates of the position measurement sensor. The depth measurement unit determines a real-time depth level of the position measurement sensor. Each of the inclination, the radial coordinates, and the real-time depth level are determined from the angular velocity.
