Title: Deployable mandrel for downhole measurements
Inventor: GYSLING DANIEL L
IPC: E21B47/10
Filed: 2004-03-08
Abstract: The disclosed apparatus comprises a phase fraction meter and a compliant mandrel deployable within a production pipe, and may further comprise a flow velocity meter. The mandrel allows the determination of the phase fraction for a fluid comprising three phases by providing an additional cross sectional compliance within the conduit, thereby allowing the density of the fluid to be determined. The mandrel also provides a specified blockage through the flow velocity meter, thereby increasing flow velocity through the meter. This allows flow rate measurements in conditions under which flow velocity in the under- restricted cross--sectional area of the pipe would normally be very low. Further, the mandrel can provide a specified restriction in the pipe, i.e., a venturi. By measuring the differential pressure across the venturi and utilizing the measured fluid velocity from the flow velocity meter, the density of the fluid mixture can be calculated. This calculated density can be used in conjunction with other measurements to determine phase fractions or to double check or to calibrate the phase fraction meter. The mandrel can be deployed without removing the meter from the conduit, allowing for easy adaptation to changing flow parameters and fluid compositions.

Abstract: A method for forming butt joints between thermoplastic members by resistive implant welding.  A tongue is formed on one member to be joined and a complementary groove is formed in the other member. A  resistive implant is placed between the tongue and the groove which are then pressed together by an applied pressure. An electric current is run through the resistive implant to melt a portion of the thermoplastic material of both the tongue and groove, and the melted plastic intermingles through the implant. When the electric current is removed, the plastic cools, forming a weld.
