Patent CA-2363909-A1 (CA)
Title: Upgrading and recovery of heavy crude oils and natural bitumens by in situ hydrovisbreaking
Inventor: GRAUE DENNIS J
IPC: E21B36/02
Filed: 2001-11-28
Abstract: A process is disclosed for the in situ conversion and recovery of heavy crude oils and natural bitumens from subsurface formations using either a continuous operation with one or more vertical injection boreholes and one or more vertical production boreholes in which multiple, uncased, horizontal boreholes may extend from the vertical boreholes, or a cyclic operation whereby both injection and production occur in the same vertical boreholes in which multiple, uncased, horizontal boreholes may extend from the vertical boreholes. A mixture of reducing gases, oxidizing gases, and steam are fed to downhole combustion devices located in the injection boreholes. Combustion of the reducing gas-oxidizing gas mixture is carried out to produce superheated steam and hot reducing gases for injection into the formation to convert and upgrade the heavy crude or bitumen into lighter hydrocarbons. Communication between the injection and production boreholes in the continuous operation and fluid mobility within the formation in the cyclic operation is induced by fracturing, multiple horizontal boreholes extending from vertical boreholes, or other related methods. In the continuous mode, the injected steam and reducing gases drive upgraded hydrocarbons and virgin hydrocarbons to the production boreholes for recovery. In the cyclic operation, wellhead pressure is reduced after a period of injection causing injected fluids, upgraded hydrocarbons, and virgin hydrocarbons in the vicinity of the boreholes to be produced. Injection and production are then repeated for additional cycles. In both operations, the hydrocarbons produced are collected at the surface for further processing.

Title: Anode monitoring systems and methods
Inventor: HUDSON STEVEN MARTIN
IPC: C23F13/00
Filed: 2000-06-23
Abstract: An anode monitoring system for monitoring the integrity of anodes (2) provided on a metallic structure such as a pipeline system (1). A signal circuit (S n) including the pipeline (1) and one of the anodes (2) is set up and appropriate signals are looked for at a central station (4). Reception of the signal at the central station (4) is dependent on the integrity of the anode (2) under inspection at that time. If the anode (2) is missing or defective the expected signal is not received and thus the fault in the anode (2) can be detected. A notch filter (5) is inserted in series between each anode (2) and the pipeline (1). The filter (5) provides a high impedance which can be signalled across but does not interfere with the cathodic protection system.

Patent CA-2390399-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BLAIS YVES
IPC: C12Q1/68
Filed: 2001-12-21
Abstract: The methods and products that are described in the present patent applicatio n are designed to determine by serial analysis the transcriptional activation pathways used by any compound of interest that is biologically active in a cell. We have engineered a library of transgenic or recombinant cell lines that allow the identification of simultaneous transcriptional pathways possibly used by the compound. Each cell line constituting the library has been engineered by stable transfection thereof by retroviral integration, to  carry a reporter gene under the transcriptional control of a particular transcription factor or family thereof endogenous to the host cell. This is achieved by having the expression of the reporter gene driven by a minimal promoter and a transcription factor responsive-element (TF-RE) or a tandem o r concatemer thereof. In its complete form, the library contains a large collection of reporter constructs responding to individual factors, each of which can in turn be studied in a large repertory of cell lines. Such an approach provides a global view of gene transcription activation in response  to diverse stimuli in multiple cellular environments and is a significant improvement over case-by-case approaches. A compound screened against such a  library provides a profile of selectivity for a given transcription factor a nd for a given cell type, which profile is used to select good selective putati ve therapeutics.
