Title: Enhanced hydrocarbon recovery by vaporizing solvents in oil sand formations
Inventor: HOCKING GRANT
IPC: E21B43/24
Filed: 2007-03-12
Abstract: The present invention involves a method and apparatus for enhanced recovery of petroleum fluids from the subsurface by injecting a hydrocarbon solvent vapor in contact with the oil sand formation and the heavy oil and bitumen in situ. Multiple propped vertical hydraulic fractures are constructed from the well bore into the oil sand formation. The hydrocarbon solvent vapor and a non-condensing diluent gas are injected into the well bore, fill the hydraulic fractures, and thus contact and diffuse into the in situ bitumen. The hydrocarbon solvent vapors diffuse into the bitumen from the vertical faces of the propped fractures. The bitumen softens and flows by gravity to the well bore, exposing fresh surface of bitumen for the process to progressively soften and mobilizes the bitumen in a predominantly circumferentially, i.e. orthogonal to the propped fracture, diffusion direction at a nearly uniform rate into the oil sand deposit. The mobile oil may be deasphalted by the condensed solvent, leaving the heavy asphaltenes behind in the oil sand pore space with little loss of inherent fluid mobility in the processed oil sands. The processed product is produced with the dissolved solvent along with a tail diluent gas. The tail diluent gas is enriched with hydrocarbon solvent and re-injected into the process zone and the cycle repeated.

Title: Case drain line pressure switch with automatic fan drive motor shutdown
Inventor: BETTIN LEONARD A
IPC: A01C7/08
Filed: 2009-08-17
Abstract: A case drain circuit particularly well suited for use with a bulk fill subassembly or a vacuum fan assembly of an agricultural implement towed by a tractor or similar vehicle includes a pressure switch that may cause illumination of an in-cab warning light and/or sounding of an in-cab alarm when pressure in the case drain circuit exceeds a predetermined threshold. A fan is driven by a solenoid controlled hydraulic motor which is supplied hydraulic fluid under pressure from a flow control valve to the motor in accordance with electrical signals that are supplied to the solenoid by a controller. The case drain circuit provides a pathway along which leakage fluid from the motor may be delivered to a fluid reservoir, preferably carried by the towing vehicle. During undesirable high pressure conditions in the case drain circuit, the pressure switch provides a corresponding high pressure signal to the controller that in turn cuts electrical current to the solenoid to cut the flow of hydraulic fluid to the motor.
