    Abstract: A method is described for seismic amplitude analysis that uses a set of artificial and individually separable reflectors consistent with dip fields in the subsurface volume of interest to define an AVA basis functions; the AVA basis functions are used in true-3D AVA modeling and true-3D AVA inversion. The inversion result and well logs representative of the subsurface volume of interest are used to train a model to create a rock property prediction model. The method may apply the rock property prediction model to a second seismic image to generate a rock property volume. The method is executed by a computer system.

    Abstract: A cartridge sampler for collecting a target species from an environment for subsequent chemical analysis includes removable collection media having at least one molecule sensor thereon. The cartridge sampler includes a means for tagging a geospatial location and time that the fluid samples are provided to the collection media such that the location and time that the fluid samples are provided to the collection media can be later determined. Also disclosed are systems and methods for collecting species from various environments including a subsurface formation, a pipeline, and gaseous, soil or sub-slab, and aqueous environments. The cartridge sampler is fitted on or within a device designed for moving within each environment.

    Abstract: A method for remotely evaluating fatigue damage of a subsea wellhead may include obtaining a plurality of values associated with measurements of a parameter associated with the fatigue damage of the subsea wellhead during field operations, wherein the measurements are measured by a sensor device positioned separately from and adjacent to the subsea wellhead; executing an algorithm using the measurements to generate a result; comparing the result of the algorithm with a range of acceptable values; and determining that the subsea wellhead has a potential failure when the result falls outside the range of acceptable values.

    Abstract: A tubing hanger retention system for a wellhead assembly can include a retention ring that is configured to fit over a top portion of a tubing hanger of the wellhead assembly, where the retention ring comprises a plurality of retention ring channels. The tubing hanger retention system can also include multiple retention pin receiving features configured to be disposed, at least in part, within multiple tubing spool channels of a tubing spool. The tubing hanger retention system can further include multiple retention pins configured to be received by the retention pin receiving features, where each retention pin includes an engagement feature configured to be received by a retention pin receiving feature to place the retention pin in a captured state, where the engagement feature of each retention pin is further configured to enter into an engaged state with a retention ring channel when the retention pin is moved inward.
