    Abstract: Thermal imaging may be used for obtaining measurements of a tribological testing apparatus including a contact temperature. For example a method of calculating a contact temperature may include: introducing a testing sample into a contact zone of a tribological testing apparatus; engaging a testing operation of the tribological testing apparatus; measuring a contact emission of a testing surface of the tribological testing apparatus with an infrared camera; and calculating a contact temperature of the testing sample in the contact zone from the contact emission; wherein the tribological testing apparatus has a carbon coating on the testing surface of the contact zone, wherein the carbon coating has a first infrared emissivity, wherein the testing sample has a second infrared emissivity, and wherein the first infrared emissivity is within +/−20% of the second infrared emissivity.

    Abstract: Bicomponent carbon fibers may comprise an inner region that is at least partially surrounded by an outer sheath, each comprising at least one carbonized pitch. The inner region comprises 70 wt % or greater mesophase pitch that has been carbonized, and the outer sheath comprises up to 70 wt % mesophase pitch that has been carbonized. An amount of mesophase pitch in the outer sheath is lower than in the inner region. The bicomponent carbon fibers may be formed by extrusion of first and second pitch compositions having the requisite amounts of mesophase pitch, followed by carbonization.

    Abstract: A method of full wavefield inversion using simultaneous-source, ocean bottom sensor (OBS) data, including: obtaining, with a computer, simultaneous-source OBS data recorded by receivers in a seismic acquisition; generating, with a computer, synthetic OBS seismic data from a model based on reciprocity; blending, with a computer, the synthetic OBS seismic data; differencing, with a computer, the simultaneous-source OBS data recorded by receivers and the synthetic data to form a pseudo-deblended residual; updating the model based on the pseudo-deblended residual; and prospecting for hydrocarbons at a location derived from the updated model.

    Abstract: A method for monitor-centric interpretation of offset pressure monitoring measurements includes simultaneously hydraulic fracturing treatment stages corresponding to treatment wells, measuring corresponding pressure data via pressure gauge(s) at monitor well(s), detecting pressure responses corresponding to fracture hits within the pressure data, and determining a reasonable velocity window for when a fracture originating from each treatment stage is likely to affect the pressure data. The method includes detecting treatment stage(s) that are likely to be the origin of each fracture hit based on the reasonable velocity window and, for each fracture hit that only has one likely originating treatment stage, assigning the detected fracture hit to such treatment stage. The method includes determining observation property data corresponding to the treatment stages that have been assigned to the fracture hits and iteratively assigning, based on such data, each unassigned fracture hit to one of the corresponding likely originating treatment stages.

    Abstract: Compositions are provided that include at least a portion of an isoparaffinic blend component, an iso-olefinic blend component, or a combination thereof, along with a method for making such a blend component. The highly isoparaffinic and/or iso-olefinic nature of the blend component can allow a blend component to be used in combination with both conventional/mineral fractions as well as non-traditional feeds to form fuel fractions and/or fuel blending component fractions. Examples of fuels that can be formed by making a blend that includes an isoparaffinic and/or iso-olefinic blend component include diesel fuels, marine gas oils, and various types of marine fuel oils, such as very low sulfur fuel oils.
