Abstract: A system for detecting cracks in an underwater structure can include an acoustic signal transmitter configured to be disposed proximate to, but without physically contacting, the underwater structure, where the acoustic signal transmitter is configured to emit acoustic signals. The system can also include an acoustic field receiver configured to be disposed proximate to, but without physically contacting, the underwater structure, where the acoustic field receiver is configured to receive resulting acoustic fields. The system can further include a controller that is configured to receive the resulting acoustic fields from the acoustic field receiver. The controller can also be configured to analyze the resulting acoustic fields signal. The controller can further be configured to detect, based on analyzing the resulting acoustic fields, a crack in the underwater structure.

Abstract: Provided is a composition comprising a blend of a waste plastic and a bio feedstock. Also provided is a process for preparing a stable blend of a plastic and bio feedstock which can be stored or transported if desired. The amount of plastic in the blend comprises no more than 20 wt. % of the blend. The blend can be passed to a conversion unit for conversion of the waste plastic and bio feedstock. The conversion process produces clean monomers for polymerization and chemical intermediates.

Abstract: An obstruction relief tool can include a plurality of walls that includes an inner wall, where the inner wall forms a cavity along a length of the inner wall. The obstruction relief tool can also include a chamber disposed between the plurality of walls, where the chamber has a proximal end and a distal end. The obstruction relief tool can further include an actuation device that is configured to actuate when an obstruction is within the cavity, where the actuation device, when actuated, is configured to open a first aperture in the inner wall that leads to the proximal end of the chamber, where the distal end of the chamber leads to a second aperture in the inner wall, where the first aperture is adjacent to the cavity above the obstruction, and where the second aperture in the inner wall is adjacent to the cavity below the obstruction.

Abstract: A novel synthetic crystalline borongermanosilicate molecular sieve material, designated boron SSZ-117x, is provided. The boron SSZ-117x can be synthesized using N,N,N,3,5-pentamethyladamantan-1-ammonium cations as a structure directing agent. The synthesis employs a boron pathway to achieve the boron molecular sieve. The boron SSZ-117x may be used in organic compound conversion reactions, such as reforming, and/or sorptive processes.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides methods and systems for hydrofracturing processes utilizing native drilling cuttings to enhance wellbore permeability. The native drilling cuttings are obtained during drilling operations and may be used in hydrofracturing applications without further grinding or processing. The native drilling cuttings can be combined into a slurry and injected into a well for the hydrofracturing application. In some cases, the native drilling cuttings are dried before combining them with the slurry.

Abstract: An intermediary well may be selected for a group of wells. The intermediary well may be used as an origin point from which branching wells paths are generated to connect the group of wells through the intermediary well. A shortest path between the intermediary well and the group of wells along the branching well paths may be identified, and the group of wells may be aligned along the shortest path. Boundaries of the intermediary well may be propagated to the aligned group of wells to establish correlation between segments of the intermediary well and segments of the aligned group of wells.

Abstract: Provided is a continuous process for converting waste plastic into recycle for polyethylene polymerization. The process comprises selecting waste plastics containing polyethylene and/or polypropylene and preparing a blend of petroleum and the selected plastic. The amount of plastic in the blend comprises no more than 20 wt. % of the blend. The blend is passed to a refinery hydrocracking unit. A liquid petroleum gas C3-C4 olefin/paraffin mixture, and optionally naphtha, is recovered from the hydrocracking unit and passed to a steam cracker to make ethylene. A heavy fraction can also be recovered from the hydrocracking unit and passed to an isomerization dewaxing unit to prepare base oil.
