Abstract: Hydrocarbons concentrations are determined in drilling cuttings samples by generating a model for predicting hydrocarbons concentrations. Methods include dividing multiple samples removed from drilling fluid into two one set analyzed using a retort, and another set analyzed using a handheld NIR spectrometer to obtain NIR diffuse reflectance data. PLS analysis is used to correlate the retort data with the diffuse reflectance data to generate a calibration model. The model is validated with samples having unknown hydrocarbons concentration. The model is used to predict the hydrocarbons concentration for samples removed from drilling fluid taken from the rig site using the spectrometer to obtain diffuse reflectance data. During measurements, each sample contains 0.1 to 10 wt % moisture and each sample is in a clear container pressed against the spectrometer window such that the IR source from the handheld device can pass to the drilled solids sample within the clear container without opening the clear container.

Abstract: Provided herein are liquid polymer (LP) compositions comprising an acrylamide (co)polymer, as well as methods for preparing inverted polymer solutions by inverting these LP compositions in an aqueous fluid. The resulting inverted polymer solutions can have a concentration of acrylamide (co)polymer of from about 50 to about 15,000 ppm, and a filter ratio of 1.5 or less at 15 psi using a 1.2 μm filter. Also provided are methods of using these inverted polymer solutions in dewatering, clarification, flocculation and/or thickening applications, and the like.

Abstract: A subterranean coring assembly can include a body having at least one wall that forms a cavity, wherein the cavity has a top end and a bottom end. The subterranean coring assembly can also include a first flow regulating device movably disposed within the cavity toward the top end, where the first flow regulating device is configured to move from a first default position to a first position within the cavity based on first flow characteristics of fluid that flows into the top end of the cavity toward the bottom end of the cavity.

Abstract: A method for removing acid gas from feed gas, comprising:alternating input of feed gas between beds of adsorbent particles that comprise zeolite SSZ-98 or SSZ-105; wherein gas contacts one of the beds during an adsorption and tail gas is vented from another bed by desorption; wherein a product gas containing no greater than about 2 Mol % carbon dioxide is produced, and methane and ethane are recovered. A method for removing acid gas, wherein the product gas contains 1 wppm H2S or less. A process for removing acid gas from feed gas, comprising adjusting selectivity of an adsorbent by changing a substitution of ERI phase with LEV phase in an intergrown molecular sieve. A process for removing acid gas from a feed gas, comprising: contacting a feed gas with adsorbent comprising a molecular sieve having a defined intergrowth of an ERI phase and a LEV phase.
