Abstract: The present invention provides a security system for a pipeline, such as an oil, gas or water pipeline, or other tubular, elongated or other structures used to convey various other liquid, gaseous or fluent materials. The invention is also useful in protecting a tunnel such as a vehicular tunnel. A flexible and wrappable sensor sheet is provided having an optical fiber or electrical wire disposed therein in a zigzag or other pattern which covers substantially the entire area of the sheet. The sensor sheet containing the fiber or wire is wrapped around the outer surface of a pipeline or other structure, and provides a covering of substantially the entire outer surface of a predetermined length of the pipeline. Similar sheets can be employed on adjacent pipeline sections to provide protection of any intended length of the pipeline, which may include the entire effective pipeline length. The individual sensor sheets can be interconnected to provide one continuous optical or electrical path through the adjacent sensor sections for the entire pipeline length or any part thereof. A light or current source is provided at one end of the continuous path to introduce light or current into the path. A light or current detector is coupled to the other end of the path to sense light or electrical current from the path. Alternatively each sensor section can have its own light or current source and its own light or current detector for sensing a signal from the respective paths.

Title: Narrow well bore
Inventor: FAANES AUDUN
IPC: E21B33/047
Filed: 2009-09-04
Abstract: Reducing the diameter of a well bore has many advantages. To achieve this a subsurface well bore is provided comprising one or more expandable sleeve components, preferably expandable liners (27, 271), each expandable sleeve component being fully overlapped by one or more non expandable sleeve component, preferably conventional liners (28, 29), such that the interior of the well bore is cased entirely by non expandable sleeve components (28, 29). In addition the through holes (34a) for downhole lines can be provided within the well head (34) rather than the tubing hanger (33). As the tubing hanger does not need to provide space for through holes and associated mounting couplings, its diameter can be reduced, thus reducing the internal diameter of the well bore by several inches.

Abstract: The invention relates to a method for removing corrosive sulfur compounds from a transformer oil. By adding a mixture of rare earths comprising aluminum oxide and aluminum silicate to the transformer oil, and enriching the same with an aqueous solution of soluble metal salts, the corrosive sulfur compounds in transformer oil are neutralized with defined heating and cooling phases. The advantage of said method is that no additional chemical components, such as passivators, are added to the transformer oil. When using a tank for receiving the mixture of the rare earths comprising aluminum oxide and aluminum silicate, the reaction can run in the tank. Any aging products that may be present, and the bonded corrosive sulfur compounds are effectively retained within the tank by means of a filter system, and can be disposed of with the tank.
