Abstract: Methods for assessing the effectiveness of an acid stimulation operation in a hydrocarbon well are described herein. The methods use encapsulated tracer particles comprising a tracer material that is coated with a calcium carbonate shell. Different encapsulated tracer particles are placed into different portions of a well. A subsequent acid stimulation operation dissolves the calcium carbonate shell and releases the tracer material. The different tracer materials indicate the effectiveness of the acid stimulation operation in different portions of the well.

Abstract: A system for utilizing high pressure subsea reservoir energy to support low-pressure subsea production wells can include a high-pressure subsea well in production, a first subsea piping that receives a high-pressure fluid of the high-pressure subsea well, a low-pressure subsea well in production, and a second subsea piping that receives a low-pressure fluid of the low-pressure subsea well. The system can also include a subsea regenerative turbine that receives the high-pressure fluid of the high-pressure subsea well from the first subsea piping. The system can further include a subsea pump assembly that operates using energy generated by the subsea regenerative turbine, where the subsea pump assembly helps move the low-pressure fluid of the low-pressure subsea well through the second subsea piping.

Abstract: A fluidized bed reactor system including a fluidized bed reactor configured to receive a heated light hydrocarbon feed stream flowing upwards and a heated regenerated catalyst at a temperature sufficient to crack the heated light hydrocarbon feed stream to produce a product effluent stream containing hydrogen and spent catalyst having coke deposits, a catalyst regeneration unit operatively connected to a bottom portion of the fluidized bed reactor, the catalyst regeneration unit being configured to receive the spent catalyst flowing downwards and combust the coke deposits to produce the heated regenerated catalyst and a heated gas effluent for generating the heated light hydrocarbon feed stream, and a riser externally attached to the fluidized bed reactor and the catalyst regeneration unit, the riser being configured to receive the heated regenerated catalyst and a gas-based stream to flow the heated regenerated catalyst upwards to the fluidized bed reactor.

Abstract: A process involves sequentially treating a plurality of lipid feedstocks comprising a set of lipid feedstocks each having a chloride content of at least about 2 ppm with a metal oxide catalyst on an oxide support under first treating conditions to produce respective treated streams of the set of lipid feedstocks having a chloride content less than 1 ppm until a given one of the respective treated streams has a chloride content greater than 1 ppm and the metal oxide catalyst is converted to a spent metal oxide catalyst, converting the spent metal oxide catalyst to a rejuvenated metal oxide catalyst, and treating one or more additional lipid feedstocks each having a chloride content of at least about 2 ppm with the rejuvenated metal oxide catalyst under second treating conditions to produce one or more respective treated streams each having a chloride content less than 1 ppm.

Abstract: A process for producing renewable distillate-range hydrocarbons is provided. The process includes dehydrating a renewable C2-C6 alcohol feedstock to produce an olefin, oligomerizing the olefin the presence of a halometallate ionic liquid catalyst to produce an oligomer product and hydrogenating the oligomer product or fractions thereof to produce saturated distillate-range hydrocarbons.

Abstract: A flow rate in a wellbore and a measured frictional pressure drop in the wellbore are used to determine a measured friction loss factor for the wellbore. The flow rate in the wellbore and an ideal frictional pressure drop in the wellbore are used to determine an ideal friction loss factor for the wellbore. A ratio of the measured friction loss factor and the ideal friction loss factor is used to monitor deposit buildup in the wellbore

Abstract: A method includes combusting a fuel stream in a combustion unit in the presence of a first oxygen enriched carbon dioxide stream received from an anode of an electrolyzer to generate a hot flue gas stream comprising carbon dioxide, steam, unconsumed oxygen, NOx and SOx, cooling the hot flue gas stream in a heat exchanger by supplying a water stream to the heat exchanger as a heat transfer medium to generate a cooled flue gas stream effluent, processing the cooled flue gas stream effluent in one or more separation units to generate a carbon dioxide rich gas stream and a carbon dioxide lean gas stream, and passing the carbon dioxide rich gas stream to the anode of the electrolyzer to generate a second oxygen enriched carbon dioxide stream for sending to the combustion unit.
