Title: Procédé et appareil pour envoyer au fond un bouchon ou une bille de pompe
Inventor: BARBEE JR JOHN PHILLIP
IPC: E21B33/05
Filed: 2010-08-27
Abstract: L'invention porte sur un procédé et appareil améliorés pour envoyer au fond une bille, un bouchon ou un clapet pendant des opérations sur puits de pétrole et de gaz (par exemple des opérations de cimentation). Ce procédé et cet appareil utilisent un élément obturateur d'une configuration spéciale, possédant des parties courbes et plates qui dirigent alternativement un flux de fluide à travers un trou ou une ouverture de l'élément obturateur via un canal intérieur ou autour de la périphérie de l'élément obturateur dans un canal extérieur. Dans un mode de réalisation, la ou les billes, le ou les clapets ou le ou les bouchons sont contenus dans un manchon coulissant qui change de position en réponse à une rotation de l'obturateur. Un indicateur facultatif indique à un utilisateur ou à un opérateur qu'une bille ou un bouchon a dépassé l'un, sélectionné, des éléments obturateurs.

Abstract: A method for electronic communications comprises transmitting an electronic text message from a sender to a receiver, starting a sender timer when the text message is transmitted that monitors an initial time period to accept a response message from the receiver, and starting a receiver timer when the text message is received that monitors an initial time period to respond. If a STANDBY message is selected after the text message is received, an automatic timing delay is initiated to send the STANDBY message. The STANDBY message is transmitted when the automatic timing delay has reached a predetermined timing threshold. The receiver timer is restarted when the STANDBY message is transmitted to give the receiver an additional time period to respond. The sender timer is restarted when the STANDBY message is received to give the sender an additional time period to accept a response message from the receiver.
