Patent GB-2565026-A (GB)
Title: Radiation signal processing system
Inventor: EDWARD JAMES MORTON
IPC: G01V5/00
Filed: 2017-05-02
Abstract: A dual energy based X-ray scanning system has a linear detector array with high and low energy detectors. A signal processing method is employed that accounts for varying angles at which the transmitted X-rays impinge upon the detectors and also the varying order in which the transmitted X-rays pass through the high and low energy detectors. This yields both high resolution in the generated images and better penetration performance.

Title: Method of forming lateral boreholes off of a parent wellbore
Inventor: BRUCE L RANDALL
IPC: E21B43/26
Filed: 2016-01-29
Abstract: A method of forming lateral boreholes off of a parent wellbore includes running a jetting hose 1595 into a horizontal section of a parent wellbore, the jetting hose having a jetting nozzle 1600 at a distal end. The method also includes placing a control valve 300 in a first position and injecting a jetting fluid through the control valve, and against the seal assembly, thereby pistonly pushing the jetting hose 1595 out of a surrounding tubular jetting hose carrier 400. The method also includes further injecting the jetting fluid through the control valve 400 and then through the jetting hose 1595 and connected nozzle into a surrounding formation, thereby forming a first lateral borehole from a first wellbore exit location. The method then includes placing the control valve 400 in a second position and injecting a hydraulic fluid through the control valve, to act upwardly on the seal assembly, thereby thrusting the jetting hose back up the jetting hose carrier and causing the jetting hose and connected nozzle to withdraw from the first lateral borehole. The nozzle can be relocated to a second wellbore exit location in the same trip, the control valve placed back in its first position, and the jetting fluid applied again to form a second lateral borehole from the second wellbore exit location.

Title: Optimisation of water injection for liquid hydrocarbon production
Inventor: ROBERT AASHEIM
IPC: E21B43/16
Filed: 2019-06-25
Abstract: A method and a system comprising a control unit 120 optimise water injection into a production well or fluid line by injecting water into the production well or fluid line at an injection point 102 using an injection rate W, to provide a mixture of oil droplets dispersed in water in the production well or fluid line. W is changed while measuring a pressure drop ΔP; and/or ΔP is measured during a natural variation in the flow of water, oil and/or gas from a reservoir into the production well. ΔP is measured between a first point 104 and a second point 106 downstream from the injection point 102 and the first point 104. A range of ΔP values is determined for which dΔP/dW is positive and close to zero. Then W is adjusted or maintained to obtain a ΔP value within the range of ΔP values. The invention provides an alternative to a problematic situation where water may be injected in excess amounts to maintain production.
