Title: Method and apparatus for dropping a pump down plug or ball
Inventor: BARBEE PHIL
IPC: E21B33/16
Filed: 2011-05-16
Abstract: An improved method and apparatus for dropping a ball, plug or dart during oil and gas well operations (e.g., cementing operations) employs a specially configured tool body assembly having valving members (e.g., safety or kelly values) and valving members holding plugs, balls, or darts to be dropped. In one embodiment, the ball(s), dart(s) or plug(s) are contained in a sliding sleeve that shifts position responsive to valve rotation. An optional indicator indicates to a user or operator that a ball or plug has passed a selected one of the valving members. A transmitter (or transceiver) provides an ability to generate a wireless signal that is received by receivers (or transceivers) on the tool body assembly. Each receiver (or transceiver) controls an electrical actuator that engages a valving member or the indicator. Wireless signals can be used to open or close a valve or to reset a "tripped" indicator.

Title: Method for in situ fluid assessment and optimization during wellbore displacement operations
Inventor: COLUDROVICH EARL J III
IPC: E21B47/00
Filed: 2011-06-24
Abstract: The present invention is, in some embodiments directed to methods for optimizing wellbore displacement operations via in situ fluid property assessment/monitoring. By monitoring fluid properties in situ (i.e., downhole), fluid property assessment is direct instead of being inferred. Additionally, wherein such assessment/monitoring is carried out in real time, changes to the displacement fluid can be made "on-the-fly," thereby contributing to an enhancement of the overall efficiency of the method.

Abstract: Methods of re-distributing and realizing wealth based on the value of intangible, tangible or other assets are described. For example, one or more intangible assets, including but not limited to the company's established goodwill, may be sold to a purchaser corporation in exchange for an issuance of shares in the purchaser corporation's capital stock. Rights in the intangible assets may then be leased back to the seller company on terms that provide for the payment of periodic rent to the purchaser corporation. With the seller company's intangible assets having been converted at least partially into tangible, recordable investment property, the purchaser corporation may extend a credit facility to the seller company secured by the acquired shares in the corporation's issued capital stock. Loan advances drawn on the credit facility may then be taken by the seller company from time to time so as to generate positive real cash flows to the seller company.
