Title: Improvements in or relating to hydrocarbon production from shale
Inventor: FREDERIC JOSEPH SANTARELLI
IPC: E21B49/00
Filed: 2015-06-03
Abstract: A method of determining the presence of hydrocarbon-filled natural fractures with sufficient lateral extension in a well in which stimulation by hydraulic fracturing is intended to be carried out includes following perforation of an interval, pumping a fluid into the well and collecting a pressure response trace. The fluid is pumped at a rate which is lower than the pump rate for the intended frac job and the data collection rate is higher than the data collection rate for the intended frac job. Characteristic elements are identified in the pressure response trace whose value and combination indicate the presence or absence of hydrocarbon-filled natural fractures with sufficient lateral extension in the interval.

Title: Improvements in and relating to interference management in a communication network
Inventor: David Gutierrez Estevez
IPC: H04W84/04
Filed: 2016-10-04
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of managing pilot contamination interference in a communications network employing flexible Time Division Duplexing TDD and comprising a macrocell 100 and a plurality of small cells 110, 120, 130. In the first step, the macrocell defines its TDD configuration and shares this with one of the small cells 110, which acts as an anchor cell. The anchor cell then distributes this TDD configuration to the other small cells, which in turn configure their own TTD frames. The step of determining the small cell configuration may comprise deciding whether to transmit pilots in the uplink or downlink. The TDD configurations may be adapted according to measured interference levels and load distributions at the macrocell and small cells. TDD slots may be configured according to the number of collisions expected in the uplink (PCR-U) and downlink (PCR-D) pilot contamination regimes. The number of transmit antennas used at the small cells may be modified to enable the performance of training using downlink pilots.
