Abstract: A system includes a neutron source that emits neutrons. The system also includes a vessel that holds a lithium-containing material including a lithium-sorbent material and a lithium-containing brine. Further, the system includes a neutron detector that receives a subset of the neutrons emitted from the neutron source that are transmitted through the lithium-sorbent material and the lithium-containing brine. The neutron detector also determines a concentration of lithium based on the received subset of neutrons.

Abstract: Lithium recovery processes are described using concentration and conversion techniques. A vaporizer or membrane can be used to concentrate lithium and precipitate impurities. A conversion process can be used to replace anions in lithium bearing streams by adding a second anion and precipitating lithium in a salt with the second anion. Rotary separation can be used to separate the precipitated lithium salt.

Abstract: A fluid sampling system having a nozzle, a fluid path configured to transfer a process fluid sample of a process fluid from a process fluid source of a lithium recovery system to the nozzle, a fluid control device along the fluid path, an identification tag reader, and a processing device. The fluid control device may operate between a closed position in which it prevents transfer of the process fluid sample and an open position in which it permits transfer of the process fluid sample into a sample container. The identification tag reader may read an identification tag associated with the sample container and output dispenser identification tag data indicative of the identification tag. The processing device may receive process sensor data indicative of properties of the process fluid, receive the dispenser identification tag data, and associate the dispenser identification tag data with the process sensor data.

Abstract: Described herein are methods of recovering lithium from dilute lithium sources. The methods include concentrating a dilute aqueous lithium source to yield an extraction feed having an extraction lithium concentration; extracting lithium from the extraction feed using direct lithium extraction in an extraction stage to yield a lithium intermediate; concentrating a stream obtained from the lithium intermediate in a concentration stage to yield a lithium concentrate; and converting lithium in the lithium concentrate to lithium hydroxide.

Abstract: Described herein are methods of recovering lithium from dilute lithium sources. The methods include extracting lithium from an extraction feed using direct lithium extraction in an extraction stage to yield a lithium intermediate, performing one or more concentration operations, each concentration operation concentrating an input stream to yield an output feed, wherein the input stream is obtained from the lithium intermediate and/or the extraction feed is obtained from the output feed. At least one of the concentration operations includes a membrane separation operation having a plurality of reactors in series each having a semi-permeable membrane, such as a counter-flow reverse osmosis operation. Methods may also include generating a low TDS stream as a permeate from any of the one or more concentration operations, wherein the low TDS stream is recycled or used as fresh water.

Abstract: Apparatus includes a conveyance device and a first shearable deployment bar connected to the conveyance device at a first distal end of the first shearable deployment bar, where the first shearable deployment bar has a deployment bar section and a shearable section. The shearable deployment bar is configured to carry a ballistic signal from an initiating charge, through the shearable deployment bar, and to a donor charge. The apparatus further includes a first set of perforating guns connected to the first shearable deployment bar at a second distal end thereof, and the first set of perforating guns are configured to receive the ballistic signal from the donor charge to ultimately fire the perforating guns at a targeted location in a wellbore. A second shearable deployment bar may be connected to the first set of perforating guns, and a second set of perforating guns connected to the second shearable deployment bar.

Abstract: A technique facilitates startup power and/or reserve power at an electric frac wellsite. An energy storage system, e.g. a battery bank, may be coupled with corresponding equipment and mounted on a transport for delivery to a desired wellsite. Additionally, the energy storage system may be coupled with a transformer which may be mounted on the same or a different trailer or skid. The energy storage system is configured to provide sufficient power for enabling turbine generator start up and/or provision of reserve power for other wellsite activities. In some embodiments, the energy storage system may be used to provide reserve power useful for improving operation of electric fracturing systems and for reducing the risk of wellsite shut down and cleanout.

Abstract: Methods include deploying a downhole tool into a wellbore with a conveyance apparatus by mounting a tool to a distal end of a spooled conveyance apparatus, routing the conveyance apparatus around a powered sheave assembly, which includes a plurality of grooves disposed on the outer surface of the sheave to accommodate the conveyance apparatus, and providing a power source for applying torque to the powered sheave. The powered sheave assembly then deploys the conveyance apparatus into the wellbore. In some cases a traction device may be disposed between the powered sheave and the wellbore to provide axial force in both directions. The conveyance apparatus is moved through a sealing apparatus, a blowout preventer, and a wellhead, with the powered sheave, after the routing the conveyance apparatus around a powered sheave.

Abstract: Apparatus and methods for pressurizing well operations fluids via a pressure exchanger. The pressure exchanger has a housing, a rotor within the housing, a first cap covering the rotor at a first end of the housing, and a second cap covering the rotor at a second end of the housing. The rotor includes chambers distributed around a central axis of the rotor and a first fluid passage. Each of the chambers and the first fluid passage extend through the rotor between a first face of the rotor and a second face of the rotor. The first cap includes a first fluid inlet, a first fluid outlet, and a second fluid passage, and the second cap includes a second fluid inlet and a second fluid outlet. The second fluid passage fluidly connects the first fluid passage with the first fluid outlet.
