A composite particle comprises a core, a shielding layer deposited on the core, and further comprising an interlayer region formed at an interface of the shielding layer and the core, the interlayer region having a reactivity less than that of the core, and the shielding layer having a reactivity less than that of the interlayer region, a metallic layer not identical to the shielding layer and deposited on the shielding layer, the metallic layer having a reactivity less than that of the core, and optionally, an adhesion metal layer deposited on the metallic layer.
摘要:
A downhole communications arrangement including one or more electromagnetic (EM) devices; and a shield disposed relative to the one or more devices. The shield preventing or reducing passage of one or more EM frequencies and being alterable by one or more selected conditions to allow passage of the one or more frequencies. A method for communicating in a downhole environment.
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 method of transferring heat to or from a downhole element comprising contacting a downhole fluid comprising a fluid medium, and a nanoparticle, the nanoparticle being uniformly dispersed in the downhole fluid, to a downhole element inserted in a downhole environment. A method of cooling a downhole element, and a method of drilling a borehole are also disclosed.

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.
