Abstract: The invention relates to various nonlimiting embodiments that include methods, apparatuses or systems for processing natural gas comprising a heavies removal column processing natural gas and light oil reflux. The overhead stream goes to heavies treated natural gas storage. The heavies removal column reboiler bottoms stream product is input to a debutanizer column. The debutanizer column overhead lights are input to a flash drum where the bottoms is pumped through a heat exchanger as a light oil reflux input to the heavies removal column, while the debutanizer reboiler bottoms product is stored as stabilized condensate. Alternatively, debutanizer column overhead lights are sent to heavies treated gas storage and the bottoms stream product goes to a depentanizer column, the overhead lights are pumped through a heat exchanger as a light oil reflux input to the heavies removal column, while the depentanizer reboiler bottoms product is stabilized condensate.

Abstract: Scavenging chemicals used in mitigation treatments of hydrogen sulfide in hydrocarbon streams often continue to react and form polymers that foul the processing system. Disclosed herein are methods for determining if a scavenging chemical mitigator, or its reaction or degradation product, will polymerized during or after mitigation treatments. This information allows for the optimization of mitigation treatments that pre-emptively control or prevent polymer formation. Such pre-emption measures reduce the cost and time related to remedial actions to treat polymer-fouled equipment.

Abstract: Methods and systems for assessing cross-well interference and/or optimizing hydrocarbon production from a reservoir by obtaining low frequency DAS and DTS data and pressure data from a monitor well, when both the monitor and production well are shut-in, and then variably opening the production well for production, and detecting the temperature and pressure fluctuations that indication cross-well interference, and localizing the interference along the well length based on the low frequency DAS data. This information can be used to optimize well placement, completion plans, fracturing plans, and ultimately optimize production from a given reservoir.

Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for processing liquefied natural gas (LNG). In one implementation, a dry feed gas is received. The dry feed gas is chilled with clean vapor from a heavies removal column to form a chilled feed gas. The chilled feed gas is partially condensed into a vapor phase and a liquid phase. The liquid phase retains freezing components. The freezing components are extracted using a reflux stream in the heavies removal column. The freezing components are removed as a condensate. The vapor phase is compressed into a clean feed gas. The clean feed gas is free of the freezing components for downstream liquefaction.

Abstract: An inexpensive electrically conductive carrier is added to well bore fluids thereby allowing for a closed loop real-time data communication system for topside management of all downhole equipment including drilling, completion, production, logging, and workover equipment. Conductive carrier fluid provides a “real-time” digital and analog bi-directional data and communication solution between the surface operations of a well-bore and downhole tools. Conductive carrier fluid provides for the application of more sophisticated software essential for exact control requirements of sophisticated downhole equipment, thereby achieving optimized tool performance as well as future downhole tools.

Abstract: A method for predicting fluid fractions is provided. The method includes building, from pressure, temperature, a fluid speed parameter, speed of sound, and fluid fractions of a first fluid flow, a machine learning model programmed to estimate fluid fractions of a fluid flow as a function of at least one Distributed Acoustic Sensing (“DAS”) fluid flow parameter and at least one physical characteristic of the fluid flow; receiving at least one DAS fluid flow parameter and the at least one physical characteristic of a second fluid flow; and determining, using the machine learning model, fluid fractions of the second fluid flow from at least the at least one DAS fluid flow parameter for the second fluid flow and the at least one physical characteristic of the second fluid flow.

Abstract: The invention relates to the alignment of a tubing hanger (14) when installed in a subsea wellhead (11). Sensors (39a,b; 40a,b) detect when the orientation is correct and send a signal to the surface to provide positive confirmation of correct orientation, before a XMT (15) is installed on the wellhead (11) and the HP riser (31) removed, etc.

Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for a data management tool for accessing various databases and data sources to collect or obtain data associated with a user of the tool or a member of an organization. The data management tool may include a user interface for receiving information or inputs from a user, such as a custodian of the data, to determine the various databases and/or systems from which user data may be available. To access the user data, the data management tool may communicate with various sources or gateways to sources, such as cloud-based data storage systems, operating system gateway programs, user hardware gateway programs, and the like. Various databases storing user data may be accessible through the systems or gateways and the data management tool may request such data in response to one or more instructions received via the user interface.

Abstract: Systems and methods include a geological structure modeling tool for generating a geological facies model for a target well with decision tree-based models. The decision tree-based models use geographic facie class as a target variable and receives an input data set including well log data, core data, and geological facie class labels (e.g., generated by a subject matter expert (SME)). A predictive analytics model using the decision tree-based models generates, based on an input of target well data, the geological facies model to represent underlying geological structures at a candidate location (e.g., for drilling a well) or a section of a subsurface reservoir (e.g., for resource characterization). Vertical context data can be provided to the decision tree-based models and the input data set can be artificially boosted based on geological facies class label occurrences. A well development action is selected for the candidate location based on the geological facies model.
