    Abstract: This application relates to production of renewable fuels, including a method of producing renewable fuels. The method comprises hydrotreating a biofeedstock by contacting reactants comprising a combined feedstock and hydrogen with a hydrotreating catalyst to produce normal paraffins. The combined feedstock comprises a biofeedstock and an additional feedstock. The biofeedstock has about 10% or more of each of metals, phosphorous, and chlorophyll than the additional feedstock. The biofeedstock comprises the metals in an amount of about 300 parts per million (“ppm”) or less, the phosphorous in an amount of about 300 ppm or less, and the chlorophyll in an amount of about 50 ppm or less. The method further comprises isomerizing at least a portion of the normal paraffins to produce branched paraffins in an isomerization effluent.

    Abstract: A methodology for modeling oil/water or gas/water paleo zone reservoir properties for hydrocarbon management is provided. Reservoir simulations in a subsurface, such as in an oil region bounded by a gas cap and a water region, may use an initial reservoir simulation model. The methodology determines one or both of the oil/water or gas/water interfaces to honor the equilibrium state of the subsurface. The current configuration of the subsurface may be the result of one or more processes, such as a drainage process and an imbibition process, each of which have different associated curves reflecting the physical phenomena of the fluid/rock properties in the subsurface. The methodology honors the physical process, including comporting with the different curves and with the available data, in order to determine the current state of the subsurface, including one or both of the oil/water or gas/water interfaces.

    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.
