Methods and systems are provided for producing hydrocarbons from production fluids that have water as an external phase. A method for transporting a hydrocarbon through a pipeline includes injecting water into a production stream at a production center. The production stream includes a hydrocarbon, and the water injection forms a transportation stream that includes a water external phase. The transportation stream is flowed through a transportation line to a surface facility, wherein the transportation line comprises a plurality of static mixers spaced at intervals along the transportation line.

A method for entraining hydrate particles in a gas stream, including separating a raw gas stream into a bulk water stream and a partially dehydrated gas stream, chilling the partially dehydrated gas stream to form a chilled gas stream, combining the bulk water stream with the chilled gas stream to form a transport stream including the entrained hydrate particles, and flowing the transport stream to a facility.

A resistor pack assembly includes a first mounting plate, a second mounting plate, a cylindrical suppression resistor, and a cylindrical cover. The first mounting plate has a circular face, a first connection terminal, and a second connection terminal. The second mounting plate has a circular face, a third connection terminal and a fourth connection terminal. The cylindrical suppression resistor has a first flat surface and a second flat surface opposite the first flat surface, and is located between the first mounting plate and the second mounting plate, wherein the first flat surface contacts the circular face of the first mounting plate and the second flat surface contacts the circular face of the second mounting plate. The cylindrical cover has an inner diameter aperture, wherein the first mounting plate, the second mounting plate, and the cylindrical suppression resistor are located within the inner diameter aperture of the cylindrical cover.

A method and devices for accomplishing the successful anastomosis of two hollow organ structures are disclosed. The method includes bringing the structures together, applying at least one fastener to hold the structures together and form a connection site, and applying, as alternatives or in conjunction, an adhesive, a wrap and/or a buttress about the connection site. Various examples of fasteners, fastener appliers, adhesives, adhesive initiators and buttress rings also are disclosed.

Expanding or foaming adhesives are used to reduce the stomach volume to reduce the caloric intake and weight of a patient. A web structure is attached inside the stomach and an expanding or foaming adhesive is applied to the web structure. The expanding or foaming adhesive attaches to the web structure and to the stomach to partition the stomach. The partition barrier divides the stomach volume into a reduced volume available for food storage and an empty volume that the food cannot enter. The reduced volume enables the patient to feel full faster and reduce caloric intake. A passageway can be provided between the two volumes near the base of the stomach to allow food or fluids to exit from the empty volume.
摘要:
Method for reducing loss of flow due to hydrate solids deposits and wax deposition in a pipeline without the aid of chemicals and system for transporting a flow of wellstream hydrocarbons containing water, using a main pipeline and a cold-flow reactor connected to the main pipeline or within or forming a part of the pipeline, wherein at least a portion of the wellstream is fed to the cold-flow reactor. Also provided is a method for preventing hydrate nucleation and growth in a pipeline and preventing hydrate agglomeration as well as for preventing wax deposition. The provided method eliminates the use of energized equipment for melting, grinding or scraping hydrate solids from inside of pipelines or flowlines. Generating dry hydrates to be mixed with main flow of a wellstream is also described.

Systems and methods for redacting portions of a document resulting in one or more versions of the document that show to readers the portions of the document that have been redacted. At least one of these one or more versions may have the content of the redacted portions encrypted and/or actually removed and replaced with a sort of filler (e.g., to resemble a blacked out portion of a paper copy). At least one other version may show to users the actual content that has been redacted. This latter version may be retained for users privy to the content (i.e., information) of the redacted portions, so that they know what content was redacted, whereas versions with the content removed or encrypted may be provided to those not privy to the content.

The present techniques are directed to systems and methods for displacing a structure in a fluid handling system with a displacement fluid. A system includes a plurality of storage conduits that can hold a treatment fluid or a barrier fluid. The treatment and barrier fluids are transferred from the storage conduits by a displacement fluid using a driver.
