Abstract: A solids-laden fluid loss control pill comprises a base fluid, a viscosifier, a fluid loss control agent, and a blend of calcium carbonate particles having at least two different sizes, wherein at least a portion of the blend of calcium carbonate particles are synthetic calcium carbonate particles formed from captured carbon dioxide. The blend of calcium carbonate particles can include natural calcium carbonate particles. The fluid loss control pill is used in a fluid loss control operation in a well.

Abstract: A process is provided for producing reduced acid lignocellulosic-derived bio-oil. treating a lignocellulosic biomass feedstock in a moving bed reactor with a metal oxide catalyst on an oxide support under treating conditions to produce a treated stream; directing spent metal oxide catalyst from the moving bed reactor to a fluidized bed regenerator, the spent metal oxide catalyst resulting from treating the lignocellulosic biomass feedstock with the metal oxide catalyst; regenerating the spent metal oxide catalyst in the fluidized bed regenerator by removing coke from the spent metal oxide catalyst in a combustion process that regenerates the spent metal oxide catalyst into the metal oxide catalyst; and returning to the moving bed reactor the metal oxide catalyst that has been regenerated in the fluidized bed regenerator. The obtained bio-oil is particularly suitable as a renewable feedstock for hydroprocessing in biofuel manufacture.

Abstract: An improved hydrotreating catalyst and process for making a base oil product wherein the catalyst comprises a base extrudate that includes a high nanopore volume amorphous silica alumina (ASA) and an alumina. The catalyst and process generally involve the use of a high nanopore volume ASA/alumina based catalyst to produce hydrotreated dewaxed base oil products by contacting the catalyst with a hydrocarbon feedstock. The catalyst base extrudate advantageously comprises an amorphous silica alumina having a pore volume in the 11-20 nm pore diameter range of 0.2 to 0.9 cc/g and an alumina having, a pore volume in the 11-20 nm pore diameter range of 0.01 to 1.0 cc/g, with the base extrudate formed from the amorphous silica alumina and the alumina having a total pore volume in the 2-50 nm pore diameter range of 0.12 to 1.80 cc/g. The catalyst further comprises at least one modifier element from Groups 6 to 10 and Group 14 of the Periodic Table. The catalyst and process provide improved aromatics saturation.

Abstract: A process to remove impurities from a surface of a cargo tank of a vessel used to transport liquid hydrocarbons includes using an active chemical solution to dissolve at least a portion of the impurities or the matrix in which they are embedded deposited n the surface of the cargo tank. The process also includes allowing the active chemical solution to subsequently remove embedded impurities from the surface.

Abstract: A method for preparing an aluminosilicate molecular sieve having the SSY framework structure is described. The method includes (1) a step of preparing a reaction mixture containing an aluminosilicate zeolite having an FAU framework type; N-ethyl-N-(3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexyl)pyrrolidinium cations and/or N-ethyl-N-(2,4,4-trimethylcyclopentyl)pyrrolidinium cations; an alkali metal; hydroxide ions; seed crystals; and water; and (2) a step of subjecting the reaction mixture to crystallization conditions sufficient to form crystals of the aluminosilicate molecular sieve. The resulting molecular sieves are useful as catalysts, particularly when used in combination with exchanged transition metal(s).

Abstract: A method is described for seismic amplitude analysis that uses a set of artificial and individually separable reflectors consistent with dip fields in the subsurface volume of interest to define an AVA basis functions; the AVA basis functions are used in true-3D AVA modeling and true-3D AVA inversion. The inversion result and well logs representative of the subsurface volume of interest are used to train a model to create a rock property prediction model. The method may apply the rock property prediction model to a second seismic image to generate a rock property volume. The method is executed by a computer system.

Abstract: The present embodiments disclose a system and method for generating a predictive model to detect leak in undersea pipes. The system includes an administrator processor and one or more pipe sections. The method proceeds with observing changes in pressure, generating a predictive model configured to determine if a leak has occurred, and closing one or more pipes responsible for the leak.

Abstract: A process for reducing the salinity of salt containing material (SCM) includes introducing the SCM into a wash system configured to sequentially wash the SCM with water having decreasing salinity levels across a plurality of mixing tanks arranged in series; introducing feed water into the wash system in a countercurrent flow relative to the SCM; discharging washed SCM from the wash system, the washed SCM having a lower salinity compared to the SCM that is initially introduced into the wash system; and discharging brine from the wash system, the brine being generated in a mixing tank that initially receives the SCM into the wash system.

Abstract: The present disclosure advantageously refers to systems and methods for predicting an oil mixture's blend compatibility without mixing the components and/or without performing direct blend testing. The techniques described use a correlation between near infrared spectroscopic information, asphaltene solubility parameter Ra, and maltene solubility parameter Po to accurately predict blend compatibility using the equation P=Po(blend)/Ra(blend). A P≥1 indicates the blend is compatible. These techniques are useful in, for example, refineries to predict and therefore reduce or eliminate fouling due to asphaltene deposits.
