Abstract: The present disclosure refers to systems and methods for efficiently converting a C1-C3 alkane such as natural gas to a liquid C2-C10 product and hydrogen. Generally, the process comprises flowing the C1-C3 alkane through a plurality of tubes within a vessel wherein the tubes house a catalyst for converting the C1-C3 alkane to the liquid C2-C10 product and hydrogen. The C1-C3 alkane is heated under suitable conditions to produce the liquid C2-C10 product and hydrogen. Advantageously, the C1-C3 alkane is heated by burning a fuel outside the tubes in fuel burning nozzles configured to transfer heat from the burning through the tubes.

Abstract: Provided is a blend of a petroleum feedstock and 1-20 wt. % of plastic, based on the weight of the blend, with the plastic comprising polyethylene and/or polypropylene, and the plastic in the blend comprising finely dispersed microcrystalline particles having an average particle size of 10 micron to less than 100 microns. A process for preparing a blend of plastic and petroleum is provided, comprising mixing together a petroleum feed and a plastic comprising polyethylene and/or polypropylene and heating the mixture above the melting point of the plastic, but less than 500° F. Then cooling the plastic melt and petroleum feedstock liquid blend with mixing to a temperature below the melting point of the plastic.

Abstract: A system for transferring at least one subterranean core sample under pressure can include a retrieval vessel that collects and houses the at least one subterranean core sample at a sampling pressure at which the at least one subterranean core is collected. The system can also include a linear actuator that couples to the retrieval vessel through a valve in the open position at a first time, where the linear actuator facilitates removal of at least one pressure barrier from the retrieval vessel through the valve at the first time while maintaining the sampling pressure of the at least one subterranean sample. The system can further include a testing vessel that couples to the linear actuator through the valve in the open position at a second time, and a hydraulic device that facilitates pressurizing the testing vessel to the sampling pressure at the second time.

Abstract: A computer-implemented method is described for seismic facies identification including receiving a seismic dataset representative of a subsurface volume of interest; applying a model conditioned by petrophysical classifications to the seismic dataset to identify seismic facies and generate a classified seismic image; and identifying geologic features based on the classified seismic image. The method generates seismic facies probability volumes.

Abstract: An improved process and catalyst system for making a base oil product and for reducing base oil aromatics content, while also providing good product yields. The process and catalyst system generally involves the use of a bimetallic SSZ-91 catalyst by contacting the catalyst with a hydrocarbon feedstock to provide dewaxed base oil products.

Abstract: Methods and systems for building and maintaining model(s) of a physical process are disclosed. One method includes receiving training data associated with a plurality of different data sources, and performing a clustering process to form one or more clusters. For each of the one or more clusters, the method includes building a data model based on the training data associated with the data sources in the cluster, automatically performing a data cleansing process on operational data based on the data model, and automatically updating the data model based on updated training data that is received as operational data. For data sources excluded from the clusters, automatic building, data cleansing, and updating of models can also be applied.
