    摘要: An article includes a crosslinked product of: a first crosslinked polymer and a second crosslinked polymer, wherein the article has a gradient in glass transition temperature. A process for making the article includes combining a first crosslinked polymer and a second crosslinked polymer to form a composition; compressing the composition; heating the composition; and crosslinking the composition to form the article, the article having a gradient in glass transition temperature. An article can be a seal that includes a first portion including a crosslinked product of: a first crosslinked polymer and a second crosslinked polymer; and a second portion including a polymer which is different than a constituent polymer in the first portion, wherein the seal has a gradient in glass transition temperature.

    摘要: A process for increasing mobility of heavy oil includes: disposing a solvating composition comprising a paraffinic solvent and a multifunctional solvent in a heavy oil environment including a heavy oil, the heavy oil comprising asphaltene; contacting the heavy oil with the solvating composition; and stabilizing asphaltene in the heavy oil with the solvating composition to increase mobility of the heavy oil and to form a stabilized heavy oil which includes the heavy oil and solvating composition. A method for making stabilized heavy oil includes separating resin from an oil; combining the resin and a paraffinic solvent to form a solvating composition; disposing the solvating composition in a heavy oil environment which includes heavy oil comprising asphaltene; and contacting the asphaltene with the solvating composition to make stabilized heavy oil, wherein the stabilized heavy oil comprises the solvating composition and heavy oil.

    摘要: A treatment system including a first tubular having at least one port therein. A valve member is disposed with the first tubular and operatively arranged to control fluid flow through the at least one port. A second tubular is disposed radially within the first tubular and terminates at an end opening into an interior passage of the first tubular for enabling a treatment media to be supplied through the second tubular into the first tubular, and through the at least one port when the at least one port is open. A seal assembly is disposed between the first and second tubulars for fluidly sealing an annulus formed between the first and second tubulars from the end of the second tubular. A tool is disposed with the second tubular for controlling operation of the valve member.
