Abstract: A chemical injection system for a resource extraction system includes a controller having a memory and a processor. The memory stores instructions that cause the processor to receive a first pressure from a first pressure sensor of the resource extraction system, receive a second pressure from a second pressure sensor of the resource extraction system, determine a flowrate of a produced fluid of the resource extraction system based on the first pressure and the second pressure, determine an ion concentration of the produced fluid, and adjust an injection rate of a chemical into the resource extraction system based on the flowrate of the produced fluid, the ion concentration of the produced fluid, or both.

Abstract: Screw provided with self-locking rolled thread, wherein, in a plurality of places along its extent, the thread is deformed in relation to the normal thread cross section in that the thread outside diameter is reduced by radial compression of limited thread portions, the area of the thread cross section being substantially identical to that of the undeformed thread. While maintaining the slant of the thread flanks, the thread cross section is symmetrically widened in the outer region and reduced in the adjoining inner region, the transition from the widened to the reduced thread cross section lying approximately in the centre of the respective thread flank, and the limited thread portion extends over two parts of a thread turn such that there result two symmetrically opposite thread portions each of approximately ? of the thread turn.

Abstract: Self-tapping screw having an at least partially non-round enveloping curve for the thread and having a penetrating section and a retaining section, it being the case that the penetrating section contains a plurality of successive thread stages which each have at least one thread turn and, along the thread stage, have essentially the same, aligned enveloping curve which runs either cylindrically or elliptically, the thread stages with an elliptical enveloping curve (elliptical thread stage) being combined such that the major axes of the successive elliptical thread stages, forming a stage group, are offset with respect to one another.
