Abstract: The present invention provides a flexible bag comprising at least one sheet of flexible sheet material assembled to form a semi-enclosed container having an opening defined by a periphery. The opening defines an opening plane, and the bag has an upper region adjacent to the opening and a lower region below the upper region. The upper region has a preferential elongation axis perpendicular to the opening plane which permits the upper region to expand in response to an externally-applied force upon the bag, while the lower region has a preferential elongation axis parallel to the opening plane which permits the lower region to expand in response to forces exerted by contents within the bag to provide an increase in volume of said bag. The bag therefore exhibits increased stability in use and is easier to close.

Title: Improved method and apparatus for predicting the fluid characteristics in a well hole
Inventor: SAMAROO BRIAN H
IPC: E21B47/10
Filed: 2000-12-20
Abstract: An improved apparatus and improved method for determining the characteristics of a multi-phase fluid along a well (10) and drilled pipe (26) having a predefined geometric profile are presented. Various state properties of the fluid, including the temperature, pressure, flow rate and specific gravity are taken at the wellhead (20) or separator (22) and used as starting values for calculating estimated state properties at various segments along the well hole. Once the state properties are calculated, an estimated mass flow and velocity rate for the fluid and its constituents can be calculated at specific points along the well hole by implementing computer-based programs and algorithms to extrapolate and/or iterate the known parameters and measurements in a progressively incremented manner from the locations of such given starting points at an initial segment up to other further points corresponding to a set of further sequential segments used in the geometric profile mathematical model.

Hereby, fibreboards (4) can easily be adapted in width and length without the use of tools, while separation of the fibreboard (4) provides a regular rupture face ensuring that no thermal bridge is created at joints. The forming box (6) may be provided with vertical partitions (12) longitudinally of the forming wire (4) and sets of vertical partitions (13) transversely to the forming wire (14). The purpose of the partitions (12, 13) is to enable production of fibreboards (4) with incorporated rupture zones (30) or fibreboards (4) in independent webs/sections (58, 60).
