    Abstract: Methods and systems relate to seabed operations, such as well intervention or capping, involving subsea equipment and subsea handling of the equipment, which may be associated with hydrocarbon wells or pipelines. A subsea system submerges during deployment and is landed on the seabed. The system may include a suspension assembly coupled to a frame structure for carrying equipment used in the operations. The deployment of the system may include deploying the frame structure with the equipment from a floating vessel connected to an anchored tether and moving the frame structure under water along the tether toward where anchored and the location for the seabed operations.

    Abstract: A method of heating stacked pay zones in a hydrocarbon formation by radio frequency electromagnetic waves is provided. In particular, radio frequency antenna array having multiple antenna elements are provided inside a hydrocarbon formation that has steam-impermeable structure. The antenna elements are so positioned and configured that the hydrocarbons in the place where conventional thermal methods cannot be used to heat due to the steam-impermeable structure can now be heated by radio frequency electromagnetic waves.

    Abstract: Systems and methods generate steam mixed with desired non-condensable gas concentrations using a direct steam generator. Injecting the steam into a reservoir may facilitate recovering hydrocarbons from the reservoir. Cooling an output of the direct steam generator produces water condensate, which is then separated from the non-condensable gas, such as carbon dioxide. Reducing pressure of the condensate subsequently heated by cross-exchange with effluent of the direct steam generator regenerates the steam with the carbon dioxide removed for the injection.

    Abstract: A tool and method for safe extraction of a pig from the pig receiver of a pipeline enable removal of the pig by an operator standing fully clear of the opening of the pig receiver to avoid potential impact of the operator by the pig in the event of an inadvertent pressurized discharge of the pig from the receiver. The tool may feature one or more mechanisms for adjusting a reach-length of the tool in order to facilitate use on pig traps of different lengths with the same tool.

    Abstract: A method of more accurate phase encoding of phase offset vibrators used in simultaneous-multiple-sourcing 3D seismic mapping. The method measures the actual input energy and the proxy energy thereby determining a bulk error and a frequency-dependent error, both to be applied to correct the proxy energy. The corrected proxy energy is then used to perform actual seismic survey, and the inversion is then performed using the corrected proxy energy to source separate each vibe where the error is minimized.

    Abstract: Imperfect separation at the higher frequencies has been observed and was eventually was tracked down to the poor GFE signal that is normally used in the inversion. The invention thus uses a “derived GFE” for each source, obtained by comparing the shot records and remove the differences, instead of the prior estimated GFE signal put out by the controller, thus accurately maximizing the separation of the data.

    Abstract: The invention is directed to long lasting crosslinked water-soluble swellable polymers, methods for making same, and their uses. More particularly, the invention relates to a composition comprising expandable polymeric particles having cationic sites as well as labile crosslinkers and stable crosslinkers, said particle mixed with a fluid. A particularly important use is as an injection fluid in petroleum production, where the expandable polymeric particles are injected into a target zones in the reservoirs and when the heat and/or a suitable pH in the reservoir cause degradation of the labile crosslinker and when the particle expands, the cationic sites in the polymer adsorb to negative sites of the rock in the formation, thus diverting water to lower permeability regions and improving oil recovery. However, many other uses are possible.

    Abstract: The invention is directed to stable crosslinked water-soluble swellable polymers, methods for making same, and their various uses in the hygiene and medical arts, gel electrophoresis, packaging, agriculture, the cable industry, information technology, in the food industry, papermaking, use as flocculation aids, and the like. More particularly, the invention relates to a composition comprising expandable polymeric microparticles having labile crosslinkers and stable crosslinkers, said microparticle mixed with a fluid and an unreacted tertiary crosslinker that is capable of further crosslinking the microparticle on degradation of the labile crosslinker so as to form a stable gel. A particularly important use is as an injection fluid in petroleum production, where the expandable polymeric particles are injected into a well and when the heat and/or pH of the well cause degradation of the labile crosslinker and when the particle expands, the tertiary crosslinker crosslinks the polymer to form a stable gel, thus diverting water to lower permeability regions and improving oil recovery.
