    Abstract: A logic used to auto-adjust plunger lift system parameters optimizes oil and gas well production with minimal human interaction. The auto-adjustments place and maintain the well in an optimized state wherein the well has either a Minimum-OFF time (e.g., length of time just long enough for the plunger to reach the bottom of the well), or Minimum-ON time (e.g., flowing just long enough for the plunger to reach the surface) cycle.

    Abstract: Estimating in-situ stress of an interval having drilling response data is described. Estimating involves obtaining drilling response data of a data rich interval with available data. Estimating relative rock strength as a composite value that includes in-situ stress and rock strength. Estimating a Poisson's ratio from the relative rock strength. Generating a stress model that includes uniaxial strain model using the Poisson's ratio. Verifying the stress model with the available data. Applying the stress models in a non-data rich interval.

    Abstract: Methods and systems for depth and radial orientation detection are provided. Methods for determining the depth or radial orientation of one or more downhole components include the steps of providing a target mass and a using a detection device for detecting the depth and/or orientation of the target mass. In some cases, the target mass is initially nonradioactive and then, after installing the target mass downhole, it may be irradiated to form a relatively short-lived radioactive target mass, which may then be detected with a radiation detector. In this way, the target mass acts as a depth or radial orientation marker. Where the target mass is situated downhole in a known radial relationship to another downhole component, the radial orientation of the other downhole component may be deduced once the radial orientation of the target mass is determined. Advantages include higher accuracies and reduced health, safety, and environmental risks.

    Abstract: A new method of assessing wettability of a reservoir rock is provided, using a mineral oil/alkane saturated sample first, a crude oil and water saturated sample equivalent to natural reservoir rock second, and a third crude oil saturated, water free sample, measuring different wettability states and comparing the slopes of all three adjusted values to determine a wettability state for the reservoir rock.

    Abstract: The invention relates to a process for treating an aqueous solution from a subterranean formation of an oil and gas operation. The aqueous solution can be removed from the subterranean formation and treated in a heated centrifugal separator. The heated centrifugal separator can separate the kinetic hydrate inhibitor from the aqueous solution, and then the aqueous solution can be reintroduced into the subterranean formation.
