  • Patent number: 12044100
    Abstract: A subsurface safety valve control system including a downhole station 5 for provision in downhole metallic structure (2) of a well installation which comprises a subsurface safety valve V having an open state allowing flow through the valve and a closed state obstructing flow through the valve. The downhole station (5) is arranged for picking up electrical signals from the downhole metallic structure (2) to obtain valve control signals and for outputting control signals for controlling the subsurface safety valve V in dependence on the signals picked up from the downhole metallic structure. The downhole station (5) comprises a hardware electronics channel (5a) for handling electrical signals picked up from the downhole metallic structure and the hardware electronics channel (5a) is arranged for detecting the presence and/or absence of hold valve open signals.

  • Patent number: 11963121
    Abstract: A communication technique for synchronizing a set of radio nodes is described. In this communication technique, the radio node arbitrates (e.g., using a precision time protocol or PTP) with the other radio nodes based on a selection technique to select a synchronization master in the set of radio nodes. This synchronization master may be selected to have a predefined performance based on a type of communication environment of the set of radio nodes. For example, the type of communication environment may include overlap between at least one of the radio nodes in the set of radio nodes and a macrocell in a cellular-telephone network, or may exclude overlap between the set of radio nodes and the macrocell. Moreover, the synchronization master may specify time, frequency, and phase synchronization for the set of radio nodes. Thus, when the synchronization master is different from the radio node, the radio node synchronizes with the synchronization master.

  • Patent number: 11795786
    Abstract: Downhole electrical energy harvesting and communication in systems for well installations having metallic structure carrying electric current, for example CP current. In some instances there is a harvesting module (4) electrically connected to the metallic structure (2) at a first location and to a second location spaced from the first location, the first and second locations being chosen such that, in use, there is a potential difference therebetween due to the electric current flowing in the structure (2); and the harvesting module (4) being arranged to harvest electrical energy from the electric current. In addition or alternatively, there may be communication apparatus (4, 5, 6) for communication by modulation of the current, for example CP current, in the metallic structure (2).

  • Patent number: 11740674
    Abstract: Systems and methods described herein make previously stranded power capacity (power that is provisioned for a data center according to a computing system's nameplate power consumption but is currently not useable) available to the data center. Systems described herein generate empirical power profiles that specify expected upper bounds for the power consumption levels that applications trigger. Using the upper bounds for application power-consumption levels, a computing system described herein can reliably release part of its provisioned nameplate power for other systems or data center consumers, reducing the amount of stranded power in a data center. The method described herein avoids performance penalties for most jobs by using sensor measurements made at a rapid rate explained herein to ensure that a system power cap based on running application's measured peak power consumption is reliable with reference to the power capacitance inherent in the computing system.

  • Patent number: 11732553
    Abstract: A well installation comprising downhole power delivery apparatus for delivering electrical power from a surface power source S to a downhole tool T. The well installation comprises downhole metallic structure (2) running down into a borehole. The apparatus comprises an electrical cable (3) for carrying electrical power from the surface power source S, a power transfer arrangement (4) and a power pick up arrangement (5). The cable 3 runs down into the borehole together with the metallic structure (2) to the power transfer arrangement (4) which is provided at a first downhole location for transferring electrical power carried by the electrical cable (3) onto the downhole metallic structure (2) for onward conduction. The power pick up arrangement (5) is provided at a second downhole location, spaced from the first, for picking up electrical power from the downhole metallic structure (2) for supply to the downhole tool T.
