Patent GB-2585883-A (GB)
Title: Control of local injection of power in a power over cable system
Inventor: HERVÉ MERLET
IPC: H04L12/10
Filed: 2019-07-19
Abstract: A method concerns controlling local power injection at a first powered device PD3 connected to at least one second powered device PD2, PD1 on a power segment 330 connected to a main power supply 320, which may be a power over cable system, such as Power over Ethernet (PoE) or Power over Coax (PoC) having a power sourcing equipment (PSE). The first device PD3 injects power in the power segment, the power being drawn from a local power source 315, and measures an electrical value such as current I3 at a port connecting the first device to the segment. Upon determining, based on the measured value, that the main power source does not currently supply power to the segment, the first device interrupts the injection of power, thereby allowing the reset of both the first and second PDs, such as when a software update is performed. The determination may involve comparing the measured value to a reference value, computed during an initialization phase and corresponding to the value when the main source does not supply power. The PDs may include analogue, IP or pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras, access points (AP), or VoIP phones.

Title: Method to control a wellbore bottom hole pressure
Inventor: JASON LOCK
IPC: E21B21/14
Filed: 2019-07-29
Abstract: A method to control borehole fluid pressure in a wellbore during a managed pressure drilling operation, said method comprising: a step of interrupting an injection of drilling mud into said borehole; a step of injection of a compressible fluid into a top portion of said borehole downstream from a choke located on a managed pressure drilling system manifold; a step of monitoring the volume of injected compressible fluid to control the pressure within said borehole; wherein the compressible gas is injected between the manifold and the wellbore. A gas reservoir feeds a compressor 10 supplying a drilling fluid reservoir 12 and a flowline 40 upstream of a managed pressure drilling manifold 34 or into the primary flowline 22. Compressibility of the gas absorbs kicks and minimises unwanted fracking and maintains borehole pressure when the mud pumps are stopped to introduce new stands of drill string. The various flowlines may be purged of formation produced gas at any time in drilling by the injection of the injection gas.
