Abstract: Methods and systems to preserve, prepare, extract, and/or analyze hydrocarbons in the pore spaces of or adsorbed in organic-rich rock samples, such as, but not limited to, drill cuttings and drill cores, using one or more combinations of physical energy sources, including, but not limited to, thermal, vapor pressure, and mechanical stress. The collected samples are transported and prepared in low temperature conditions, with parts of subsequent processing at very low temperatures, thereby allowing a fuller measurement of geochemical fingerprints for the extracted hydrocarbons using various analysis tools. More particularly, the treatment and process allows geochemical fingerprinting to very low carbon number ranges.

Abstract: An adjustable ring having a curved section and two telescoping arms. Each telescoping arm comprises two or more tubes that move relative to each other in a concentric manner between a collapsed state and an extended state to accommodate various amounts of sheet or sheet-like materials. A ring binder can be constructed using one or more of the adjustable rings.

Abstract: A resource allocation method for network slicing and an orchestrator, comprising: uniformly incorporating resources originally bundled statically with the base station into a dynamic resource pool; allocating, by an orchestrator, resources from among the dynamic resource pool for the network slicing based on different network slicing requirements. A static corresponding/mapping relationship between the hardware/radio resources and the base station is broken, such that hardware/radio resources (e.g., radio access network Virtual Network Function (RAN VNF), baseband unit (BBU), RRH (Remote Radio Head) as well as antenna) that originally corresponded to different base stations will be organized as an integrated and dynamic hardware/radio resource pool and reported to the orchestrator, such that the orchestrator will centrally manage all hardware/radio resources in this pool and then sufficiently utilize and dynamically orchestrate these hardware/radio resources based different needs from the network slicing.

Abstract: Methods and systems to monitor and analysis unconventional reservoirs with wellbores with a substantially horizontal section. Monitoring and analysis is conducted in three dimensions using high-resolution geochemical fingerprinting analyses of rock samples and produced oil samples. The invention uses methods to preserve, prepare, extract, and/or analyze hydrocarbons in the pore spaces of or adsorbed in organic-rich rock samples, such as, but not limited to, drill cuttings and drill cores, using one or more combinations of physical energy sources, including, but not limited to, thermal, vapor pressure, and mechanical stress.

More particularly, the treatment and process allows geochemical fingerprinting to very low carbon number ranges.

Abstract: A CO2-sensitive fracturing and displacement fluid contains a surfactant, an auxiliary agent, water, and CO2, wherein CO2 is liquid and/or supercritical CO2. The CO2-sensitive fracturing and displacement fluid provided by the invention does not flow back after completion of fracturing construction, and the gel breaking fluid displacement is carried out after soak for a period of time to improve the tight oil recovery ratio. The CO2-sensitive fracturing and displacement fluid exerts the “one-agent multi-purpose” function of sand carrying, CO2 energization and oil displacement, surfactant imbibition and oil discharge of a fracturing-displacement system in different development and production stages, and achieves the dual goals of expanding the utilization degree of tight oil and improving the displacement efficiency of the tight oil, which can effectively reduce costs and achieve the goal of unified, highly efficient and green development of oil and gas fields.
