Abstract: Aspects of the technology described herein describe a system for detecting and reducing wear in industrial equipment. Aspects of the technology use 3D image data from a field inspection of industrial equipment to identify and quantify wear. The wear can be detected by providing the images from the field inspection to a computer classifier for recognition. Aspects of the technology also use machine learning to recommend a change to the operation of the equipment to minimize wear. Such a change could include load shedding, lube oil feed rate changes, prompts for maintenance, etc. Through incorporation of the wear data into the control system, the equipment can automatically change operation to improve wear performance and increase the durability and lifetime of the equipment.

Abstract: Methods and systems for measuring pipe parameters using guided acoustic wave modes are provided. The method includes receiving data corresponding to an acoustic signal, wherein the data are obtained by transmitting an excitation pulse at a specified frequency and detecting the resulting acoustic signal using an acoustic transducer attached to the outer surface of the pipe wall. The method includes analyzing the data to identify guided acoustic wave modes including at least two of: a C-SH acoustic wave mode that travels within the pipe wall; a C-LT acoustic wave mode that travels within the near-surface region of the pipe wall; and/or a CA acoustic wave mode that travels within the pipe cavity. The method includes calibrating the parameter measurement using the C-SH acoustic wave mode and determining the parameter measurement based on the phase velocity and/or the amplitude of the C-LT acoustic wave mode and/or the CA acoustic wave mode.

Abstract: A process for increasing the softening point of asphalt using an eductor, preheated asphalt is mixed with an input gas in the eductor to form a gas/asphalt mixture. The gas/asphalt mixture is conducted to a heated and pressurized oxidizer vessel via piping connected to the discharge connection of the eductor, where the piping enables a bubble flow pattern to develop therein to enable reaction of the oxygen with the asphalt. The oxygen entrained asphalt mixture is discharged from an exit port of the piping in the oxidizer vessel. The resulting oxidized asphalt product stream has a softening temperature greater than the preheated asphalt feed. The process minimizes the off-gas produced to reduce the carbon footprint.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for using a reverse-flew reactor (or another reactor with flows in opposing directions at different parts of a process cycle) as part of a reaction system for production of ammonia and/or urea. Using a reverse flow reactor as part of an ammonia production process can provide a variety of advantages, including direct heating of the reaction environment, and simplified generation of multiple high-purity reagent streams for ammonia and/or urea synthesis.

Abstract: The hydrocarbon wells include a radioactive tracer system, a production conduit, a lift gas supply conduit, a lift gas supply system configured to provide a lift gas stream to the lift gas supply conduit, and one or more gas lift valves each being configured to selectively permit lift gas to enter the production conduit and mix with reservoir liquid therein to generate a produced fluid stream. The radioactive tracer system is configured to inject a radioactive tracer into the lift gas stream and to detect the radioactive tracer within the produced fluid stream. The methods include injecting the radioactive tracer into the lift gas stream, flowing the radioactive tracer through an open gas lift valve into the production conduit, mixing the radioactive tracer with the reservoir liquid to generate a tracer-marked liquid band within the produced fluid stream, and detecting radiation from the tracer-marked liquid band.

Abstract: Systems and methods relating to determination of oil saturation, kerogen content, and/or water saturation within kerogen-containing subsurface formations such as unconventional formations (e.g., tight formations such as shales) are provided herein. These methods advantageously rely on a simplified measurement process, reducing the direct measurements of a subsurface formation relied upon in determining oil saturation, kerogen content, and/or water saturation. In particular, methods according to some embodiments include determining or otherwise obtaining values of TOC; bulk density; porosity; and densities of kerogen, oil, and water corresponding to a subsurface formation of interest or a zone thereof. Methods of various embodiments further include, based at least in part upon the obtained values, determining one or more of kerogen content, oil saturation So, and water saturation Sw of the subsurface formation of interest, and/or a corresponding zone thereof.

Abstract: Downhole tools and methods for detecting a downhole obstruction within a wellbore. The downhole tools include a positioning mechanism, which is configured to facilitate positioning of the downhole tool within a target region of a wellbore of a hydrocarbon well, an acoustic pulse generator, which is configured to generate an acoustic pulse within a wellbore liquid that extends within the wellbore and fluidly contacts the downhole tool, and a sensor assembly, which is configured to detect a reflected acoustic pulse within the wellbore liquid. The methods include positioning a downhole tool within a target region of a wellbore, generating an acoustic pulse, propagating the acoustic pulse within a wellbore liquid, and reflecting the acoustic pulse from a downhole obstruction. The methods also include propagating a reflected acoustic pulse within the wellbore liquid, receiving the reflected acoustic pulse, and characterizing the downhole obstruction based upon the reflected acoustic pulse.

Abstract: A method for predicting a total minimum horizontal stress (σh) and a total maximum horizontal stress (σH) for an anisotropic formation may comprise: measuring Young's moduli parallel ±15° and perpendicular ±15° to a transverse isotropy plane of a horizontal core sample from the anisotropic subterranean formation; measuring Poisson's ratios parallel ±15° and perpendicular ±15° to the transverse isotropy plane of the horizontal core sample; inputting the measured Young's moduli and Poisson's ratios of the horizontal core sample into a 1-dimensional mechanical earth model (1-D MEM); and calculating, using the 1-D MEM, a predicted total minimum horizontal stress (σh) and a predicted total maximum horizontal stress (σH).
