Patent CA-2826593-A1 (CA)
Inventor: HODGES CHRIS
IPC: E21B43/12
Filed: 2013-09-12
Abstract: A hydraulic oil well pumping system is provided. The system uses a pump to exert hydraulic pressure against a reciprocating piston over a wellbore. The piston is connected to a rod string and downhole pump for pumping oil from a wellbore. The system includes an electronic control system that controls movement of the piston as it moves between the upper and lower rod positions by cycling the hydraulic system between (i) an "upstroke" condition wherein the pump is pumping oil through the oil line into the hydraulic cylinder to move the piston to its upper rod position, and (ii) a "neutral" condition wherein the pump is no longer pumping oil into the hydraulic cylinder, but is allowing oil to flow back through the oil line in response to gravitational fall of the piston. The control system is programmed to cycle based upon a volumetric calculation of hydraulic oil in the cylinder without reference to position sensors along the wellhead. Wellhead conditions or placement of the hydraulic cylinder inside the wellbore may prohibit attaching physical sensors at the wellhead. A method for pumping oil from a wellbore using such a system is also provided herein.

Title: Method and apparatus for depositing stable crystalline phase coatings of high temperature ceramics
Inventor: WANG YOULIANG
IPC: C23C4/134
Filed: 2011-11-25
Abstract: Producing high temperature coatings on ceramics using a high enthalpy air plasma spray torch and supplying in at least 3 passes to deposit the coating is advantageous for spraying high temperature ceramics while avoiding formation of undesirable phases, if the stand off distance is chosen such that a width of a bead produced from a single spray pass on the substrate at ~800°C is less than 70% of a diameter of a plume of the torch at the stand off, and neither assisted heating, nor forced cooling, nor subsequent heat treatment is used. The rapid cooling endemic to thermal spray that leads to amorphous, metastable and other undesirable phases of alkaline earth aluminosilicate (e.g., barium- strontium aluminosilicate (BSAS)), rare earth silicates (RESs), mullite, etc. can be mitigated sufficiently by the close stand off and high enthalpy torch to provide highly crystalline and stable phase coatings.
