Patent CA-2687458-A1 (CA)
Title: Methods and apparatus with high resolution electrode configuration for imaging in oil-based muds
Inventor: SMOLLINGER GLENN
IPC: G01V3/00
Filed: 2008-04-08
Abstract: Various disclosed resistivity imaging tools and methods provide a high-resolution electrode configuration for imaging in oil-based muds. Some tool embodiments have a sensing surface that comprises: a measurement electrode, a focus electrode surrounding the measurement electrode, and a return electrode surrounding the focus electrode. The sensing surface can be provided on an extendable sensor pad or on the wall-contacting portion of a stabilizer. Some method embodiments include measuring the measurement electrode current while driving a voltage signal between the measurement electrode and the return electrode. The voltage signal may simultaneously or sequentially provide energy at different frequencies. The resistivity measurements are combined with tool position and orientation measurements to form a borehole wall image. Robust and reliable performance is expected in the hostile conditions often experienced by logging while drilling (LWD) tools, coupled with the ability to make micro-resistivity measurements with a resolution approaching that of electrode-grid tool designs.

Patent CA-2688974-A1 (CA)
Title: Methods for placing multiple stage fractures in wellbores
Inventor: MISSELBROOK JOHN GORDON
IPC: E21B43/11
Filed: 2009-12-22
Abstract: The present invention provides methods for placing multiple stage fractures in wellbores. A production tubing comprising a liner is placed downhole in an wellbore. A fluid pill containing proppant is squeezed into the annulus between the formation and liner, thereby packing the proppant into the annulus, effectively isolating the annulus. The packed proppant is permeable to liquids but impermeable to fracturing proppants. After isolation of the annulus, the wellbore may be perforated using a resettable perforation assembly. Once perforating is complete, the wellbore is fractured. The presence of the packed proppant in the annulus generates resistance to the flow of fracturing fluid along the annulus, forcing the fracture to propagate down the perforation tunnels, while also allowing subsequent production fluids to be produced along the annulus.

Title: An automatic shut-off nozzle for use in a non-overflow liquid delivery system
Inventor: BONNER MARK
IPC: B67D7/54
Filed: 2010-01-28
Abstract: An automatic shut-off nozzle comprises a liquid delivery conduit and a liquid recovery conduit. A valve has a first movable valve portion movable between a valve closed position whereat liquid is precluded from being dispensed from the liquid-dispensing outlet of the liquid delivery conduit and a valve open position whereat liquid is permitted to be dispersed from the liquid-dispensing outlet of the liquid delivery conduit. A  manually operable valve control mechanism is reconfigurable between ar operating configuration whereat force can be transmitted from the valve control mechanism to the valve to thereby move the first movable valve portion to the valve open position, and a non-operating configuration whereat force cannot be transmitted from the valve control mechanism to the valve. A liquid sensor has a rest state and an actuated state whereat the liquid sensor reconfigures the manually operable valve control mechanism from the operating configuration to the non-operating configuration.

Patent CA-2694415-A1 (CA)
Inventor: ALDRICH CHRIS
IPC: F23D14/02
Filed: 2005-09-14
Abstract: A natural draft burner has a burner head and a deflector plate extending radially therefrom and across a firetube housing. An air deflector plate has a plurality of angled vanes for re-directing secondary combustion air flowing through the housing. Secondary air is deflected away from a nozzle tip at the burner head to minimize lifting of the flame by the deflector plate or by a low pressure ring formed around the nozzle tip above the deflector plate for creating an area of low pressure. Preferably, a combination of the deflector plate and low pressure ring provides a stable flame positioned at the nozzle tip under low-fire and high-fire conditions enabling use of a pilotless ignition and flame sensing system which is consistent under low and high fire conditions. More preferably, the deflector plate supports the igniter and optionally a heat return tube for heat tracing of the freeze-prone burner assembly components.
