    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.
