Abstract: A layered catalyst reactor system and process for hydrotreatment of hydrocarbon feedstocks. The layered catalyst system reactors comprise vertical bed layers including a demetallization catalyst layer, multiple layers of supported hydrotreating catalyst layer, and multiple alternating layers of supported hydrocracking catalysts and self-supported hydrotreating catalysts. The arrangement of the catalyst layers mitigates the risk of temperature run-aways, with improvements in hydrotreatment performance.

Abstract: Sensors may be located remotely from a rig of a well. The sensors may operate independently of the rig, and generate remote sensor information that characterizes operating characteristics of the well independent of the rig. The operation of the well may be analyzed based on the remote sensor information.

Abstract: A valve extension tool is configured to operate a hand wheel of a valve. The valve extension tool includes a handle configured for operation by a first operator and a pipe assembly connected to the handle. The pipe assembly includes a proximal pipe segment connected to the handle, a crank connected to the proximal pipe segment and configured for operation by a second operator, and a distal pipe segment connected to the crank. In addition, the valve extension tool includes a front pipe segment connected to the distal pipe segment of the pipe assembly. Further, the valve extension tool includes a joint connected to the front pipe segment, wherein the joint is configured to engage a hand wheel of a valve.

Abstract: A system for transmission of power offshore comprises two or more power stations operably connected with a high voltage cable system. The high voltage cable system may comprise a dynamic, dry type high voltage submarine cable of varying length configured to transmit at least about 45 megawatts of power. In some cases the dynamic, dry type high voltage submarine cable comprises a first end connected to an offshore power station and second end connected to a static submarine cable system which is connected to an onshore power station. The systems may facilitate transmission of power for applications such as compressing and/or pumping subsea natural gas in deep water.

Abstract: An improved hydrotreating catalyst and process for making a base oil product wherein the catalyst comprises a base extrudate that includes a high nanopore volume amorphous silica alumina (ASA) and a second amorphous silica alumina. The catalyst and process generally involve the use of a base extrudate comprising the high nanopore volume ASA and the second ASA in a catalyst to produce hydrotreated dewaxed base oil products by contacting the catalyst with a hydrocarbon feedstock. The catalyst base extrudate advantageously comprises a first amorphous silica alumina having a pore volume in the 11-20 nm pore diameter range of 0.2 to 1.0 cc/g and a second amorphous silica alumina having a pore volume in the 11-20 nm pore diameter range of 0.02 to 0.2 cc/g, with the base extrudate formed from the amorphous silica alumina and the alumina having a total pore volume in the 2-50 nm pore diameter range of 0.12 to 1.80 cc/g. The catalyst further comprises at least one modifier element from Groups 6 to 10 and Group 14 of the Periodic Table. The catalyst and process provide improved aromatics saturation.

Abstract: Provided herein are various embodiments of determining a cation exchange capacity of a rock sample. One embodiment of a method of determining a cation exchange capacity of a rock sample comprises equilibrating the rock sample to a relative humidity, performing a dielectric permittivity measurement on the rock sample at the relative humidity, and determining a cation exchange capacity of the rock sample based on the dielectric permittivity measurement. One embodiment of a method of determining a cation exchange capacity of a rock sample comprises receiving a dielectric permittivity measurement on the rock sample, and determining a cation exchange capacity for the rock sample based on the dielectric permittivity measurement of the rock sample and a relationship between cation exchange capacity and dielectric permittivity measurements for mineral mixtures corresponding to a range of cation exchange capacity values.

Abstract: An optical strain gauge system measures strain on the exterior surface of a pipe to identify areas of wear on the interior surface of the pipe. The optical strain gauge system comprises an optical sensing interrogator and at least one optical fiber. The optical sensing interrogator comprises a light source and a light sensor. The at least one optical fiber includes fiber Bragg gratings along the length of the optical fiber. The optical fiber is arranged on the exterior surface of the pipe with the fiber Bragg gratings forming a two-dimensional array of points at which strain measurements are obtained. The two-dimensional array of strain measurement points provides an accurate assessment of the strains on the exterior of the pipe which can be used to identify areas of wear on the interior surface of the pipe.

Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to processes for the selective separation of carbon dioxide (CO2) from multi-component feedstreams containing CO2. The processes use a potassium-form MER framework type zeolite having a stick-like morphology. The potassium is present in the zeolite as K+ in extra-framework locations, and the zeolite is essentially free of an extra-framework cation other than potassium.
