Abstract: A method of characterizing a subterranean formation using a plurality of seismic acquisitions includes obtaining a first seismic acquisition of the subterranean formation, wherein the first seismic acquisition is a baseline survey. Injecting a gas fluid into the subterranean formation, wherein the gas fluid at least partially fills a portion of a fracture network of the subterranean formation. Obtaining a second seismic acquisition of the subterranean formation. Calculating a time-lapse difference in the plurality of seismic acquisitions.

Abstract: A suspension head (11) is provided for connection between a high pressure riser (8) and a subsea wellhead (9), for use in drilling and completion operations in which a jack-up rig (1) is employed and a blowout preventer (7) is installed on the jack-up rather than on the wellhead. The use of the suspension head (11) offers improved safety and convenience, allowing the riser (8) to be isolated from the wellhead (9) in emergencies or for carrying out certain operations which would otherwise require the installation of a temporary plug.

Abstract: Method of cleaning sucker rods using a portable cleaning tool containing a rotating brush assembly to remove scale and corrosion residue on the sucker rods is described herein. The brush is annular with an empty or hollow center, such that the rod can penetrate through the hole in the brush. The tool is powered by air compression, and also contains a mechanism of removing the collected debris for disposal. The cleaning tool assembly could be either a standalone device on site placed on a mounted rack, or could be attached to the rod to be cleaned.

Abstract: A system and method for turning a well over to production. The method may include drilling a wellbore using a drillstring, casing the wellbore, fracturing a reservoir, drilling the wellbore to a plug back total depth using the drillstring to clean out the wellbore, and converting the drillstring from a drilling mode to a production mode.

Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for isolation detection. In one implementation, a radial acoustic log is obtained. The radial acoustic log is captured using a radial sensor of an acoustic logging tool deployed within a first structure. The first structure disposed within a second structure in a subterranean environment. A radial symmetry is determined using the radial acoustic log. An eccentricity of the first structure relative to the second structure is determined based on the radial symmetry.

Abstract: Implementations described and claimed herein provide systems and methods for increasing production performance in a Steam Assisted Gravity Drainage system. In one implementation, an upper mating unit of an inverted shroud assembly is received with a lower mating unit of the inverted should assembly in a slidable relationship. The upper mating unit is coupled to a pump-intake assembly. The lower mating unit is coupled to a motor-seal assembly. The slidable relationship secures the pump-intake assembly to the motor-seal assembly. A motor of the motor-seal assembly is directly cooled by opening the motor to a production well based on an exterior attachment of the motor-seal assembly relative to an inverted shroud.

Abstract: Systems and methods for processing liquefied natural gas (LNG) can include an LNG production system with a methane refrigeration cycle downstream from an ethylene refrigeration cycle. The methane refrigeration cycle can be a closed loop methane refrigeration cycle that maintains a methane refrigerant separate from a natural gas feed, (e.g., compared to an open loop methane refrigeration cycle that extracts the methane refrigerant from the natural gas feed and recombines the methane refrigerant with the natural gas feed). The natural gas feed can be a medium or high nitrogen gas feed having a nitrogen content greater than 1.0% molarity.

Abstract: Methods for preventing elemental sulfur deposition from a hydrocarbon fluid is disclosed. A mercaptan is added to a hydrocarbon fluid that has elemental sulfur and reacted with the elemental sulfur to produce a disulfide and hydrogen sulfide. Amines and/or surfactants can assist with the process. Secondary reactions between the disulfide and the elemental sulfur result in a polysulfide and a solvated sulfur-disulfide complex. The disulfide, hydrogen sulfide, polysulfide and solvated sulfur-disulfide complex do not deposit, and can optionally be removed.

Abstract: A system for measuring fluid flow in a wellbore is provided. A probe includes at least a heater. A fiber optic cable is connected to the probe. The system is programmed to perform operations including: changing an output of the heater to thereby change a temperature of drilling fluid moving over a fiber optic cable; measuring a strain on the fiber optic cable caused by changing the temperature of the drilling fluid; preliminarily determining a velocity of the drilling fluid from the measured strain; measuring at least a second parameter of the drilling fluid; adjusting the preliminary determined velocity based on the measured at least a second parameter to yield an adjusted velocity; and determining a flow rate of the drilling fluid based on the adjusted velocity.
