Abstract: Methods and apparatus relate to systems and methods of recovering oil from a formation. In operation, a steam chamber develops as a result of steam injection into the formation and the recovery of fluids including the oil through a production well. An auxiliary well spaced in a lateral direction from the production well helps ensure development of the steam chamber as desired. The auxiliary well may enable heating of the formation through establishing an electric potential between the auxiliary well and the production well or by resistive heating of material forming the auxiliary well. Further, the auxiliary well may provide a flow path for solvent or gas injection to facilitate the recovery through the production well.

Abstract: A method for reducing thermal loss in a formation comprising two zone capable of production. The method first begins drilling a pair of wells, comprising a first well and a second well in a formation having two production zones, wherein one production zone is a thief zone such that the first well and the second well are in fluid communication with the thief zone. A sealing agent is injected into the thief zone via a first well and produced from the second well. Either the first well or the second well is then capped to form a capped well and a uncapped well. An amount of activating agent is injected into the uncapped well to form in-situ a thermally restrictive substance inside the thief zone.

Abstract: A rotary device has a releasable tool holder. A spindle with two ends has one end adapted to secure to a rotary device and the other includes a bore to receive a tool. A mechanism to retain and release the tool from the spindle bore is coupled with the spindle adjacent the bore end. At least two unlike retention members to apply a force on the tool in the bore are adjacent the bore. A sleeve surrounds the bore end of the spindle as well as the at least two unlike retention members. The sleeve has a common surface to apply a force on the at least two unlike retention members such that when the sleeve is axially moved along the spindle, the force is varied with respect to the position of the surface on the retention member. This force maintains the tool in the bore or enables the tool to be removed from the bore. A biasing member maintains the sleeve in a retention position on the spindle.

Abstract: An inflator mechanism has a valve adapted to secure with the device to be inflated. A compressor is fluidly coupled with the valve mechanism. The compressor mechanism generates fluid to inflate the device. The compressor mechanism includes a motor to drive a piston, a piston, a piston cylinder, an outlet coupled between the piston cylinder and the valve, and a housing. A biasing spring is positioned in the housing to exert a force on the cylinder. The biasing force maintains the cylinder in a first position when the fluid in the cylinder is at a low pressure. The cylinder moves in the housing against the force of the biasing spring to a second position when the fluid in the cylinder is at a high pressure. A displacement control valve is associated with the cylinder to control the fluid displacement of the compressor. Thus, at low pressure, fluid displacement is high and as pressure in the cylinder increases, the fluid displacement is reduced. A power source is coupled to drive the motor of the compressor.
