Abstract: A methodology for extending bandwidth of geophysical data is disclosed. Geophysical data, obtained via a towed streamer, may have significant noise in a certain band (such as less than 4 Hz), rendering the data in the certain band unreliable. To remedy this, geophysical data, from a band that is reliable, may be extended to the certain band, resulting in bandwidth extension. One manner of bandwidth extension comprises using machine learning to generate a machine learning model. Specifically, because bandwidth may be viewed as a sequence, machine learning configured to identify sequences, such as recurrent neural networks, may be used to generate the machine learning model. In particular, machine learning may use a training dataset acquired via ocean bottom nodes in order to generate the machine learning model. After which, the machine learning model may be used to extend the bandwidth of a test dataset acquired via a towed streamer.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for producing liquefied natural gas (LNG) from a natural gas stream. Heavy hydrocarbons are removed from the natural gas stream in a separator to generate a bottom stream and a separated natural gas stream, which is used as a coolant in a heat exchanger to generate a pretreated natural gas stream. The pretreated natural gas stream is compressed and cooled to form a chilled pretreated natural gas stream, part of which forms a recycle stream to exchange heat with the separated natural gas stream in the heat exchanger, thereby generating a cooled recycle stream. The temperature and pressure of the cooled recycle stream are reduced. The cooled recycle stream is then separated into an overhead stream and a reflux stream, which is directed to the separator. The chilled pretreated gas stream is liquefied to form LNG.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for co-processing of renewable distillate fractions with mineral fractions to produce at least a jet (or kerosene) boiling range product and a diesel boiling range product. A combination of a jet boiling range product fraction and a diesel boiling range product fraction with unexpected properties can be formed by first blending i) a distillate boiling range feed fraction containing a renewable distillate component with ii) a mineral feed fraction (possibly corresponding to a whole or partial crude oil) that includes diesel boiling range compounds to form a blended composition. The blended composition can then be fractionated to form a jet boiling range product fraction and a diesel boiling range product fraction. Optionally, the resulting jet boiling range product fraction and/or diesel boiling range product fraction can be exposed to further processing, such as hydroprocessing or catalytic cracking.

Abstract: A plunger lift system, as well as a method for monitoring plunger parameters within a wellbore using such a plunger lift system, are provided. The plunger lift system includes a lubricator attached to a wellhead at the surface and a plunger dimensioned to travel through the production tubing upon being released from the lubricator. The plunger lift system also includes magnetic sensor systems installed along the production tubing, where each magnetic sensor system includes a magnetic sensor for detecting the passage of the plunger as it travels through the production tubing, as well a communication device for transmitting communication signals between the magnetic sensor systems and a computing system located at the surface, where the computing system includes a processor and a non-transitory, computer-readable storage medium including computer-executable instructions that direct the processor to dynamically determine the plunger position and/or velocity based on the received communication signals.

Abstract: A method and system are described for communicating within a system, which may be along tubular members and used during gravel pack operations. The method includes constructing a communication network and installing the communication nodes along the gravel pack system. The communication nodes are used to monitor the formation of the gravel pack for voids or gaps during the gravel pack operations. Once the gravel pack is installed, the gravel pack operations may be used for hydrocarbon operations, such as hydrocarbon exploration, hydrocarbon development, and/or hydrocarbon production.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for performing ammonia cracking as the endothermic reaction step of a reaction cycle in a cyclic reaction environment, such as a reverse flow reaction environment. In such aspects, heat for the endothermic reaction can be provided by direct heating during a regeneration step. Optionally, the fuel for the regeneration step can correspond to additional ammonia and/or can include hydrogen generated during the ammonia cracking reaction step. Optionally, a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) zone can be included as part of the reactor, to reduce or minimize the amount of nitrogen oxides in the regeneration effluent from the reactor.
