    摘要: The present disclosure describes methods and systems, including computer-implemented methods, computer program products, and computer systems, for determining carbon environmental impact for oil and gas pipeline leakages. One computer-implemented method includes: determining, by one or more hardware processors, an amount of Equivalent Carbon Dioxide (ECO2) associated with a pipeline leak in a hydrocarbon reservoir; determining, by one or more hardware processors, a probability of failure of the pipeline leak in the hydrocarbon reservoir; determining, by one or more hardware processors, an environmental consequence factor of the pipeline leak in the hydrocarbon reservoir; determining, by one or more hardware processors, a severity factor of the pipeline leak in the hydrocarbon reservoir based on at least one of the amount of ECO2, the probability of failure, or the environmental consequence factor; and outputting, by one or more hardware processors, the severity factor in a user interface.

    摘要: An assembly includes two tubular elements, a primary and a secondary seal arranged between the two tubular elements, a seal cavity formed between the two tubular elements and the primary and the secondary seal, and a seal monitoring apparatus having a housing and a position sensor. The housing has a chamber enclosing a separator which divides the chamber into a first and a second sub-chamber. The first sub-chamber is fluidly connected to the seal cavity and is filled with a hydraulic fluid. The separator is movable in a first direction relative to the housing to increase a volume of the first sub-chamber and decrease a volume of the second sub-chamber, and in a second direction to decrease the volume of the first sub-chamber and increase the volume of the second sub-chamber. The position sensor generates an electrical signal which represents a position of the separator relative to the housing.

    摘要: There are described methods, systems, and computer-readable media for detecting events in a conduit. Multiple lengths of optical fiber positioned alongside a conduit are used to detect a signal. For each length of optical fiber, interferometric data is obtained from the detected signal. The interferometric data obtained for one length of optical fiber is compared to the interferometric data obtained for one or more other lengths of optical fiber. Based on the comparison, it is determined whether the signal originated from the conduit.

    摘要: An improved method for fracking operations, the improvement comprising measuring the last piece of casing, cutting the casing to the measured length, installing a suspension device on the last piece of casing, landing the suspension device inside the well-head, installing pack-off bushing around the suspension device, engaging locking pins to maintain the pack-off bushing's position, removing blowout preventer, installing a two-way check valve into the mandrel, attaching a multiple pressure rated fracking adapter rated up to twice the pressure rating of the well-head casing, testing the sealing elements of the fracking adapter to insure proper sealing, attaching a fracking valve assembly to the fracking adapter, where an operator fracks a hydrocarbon well for enhanced production without compromising safety by eliminating potential leak points and reducing the costs and time required for preparing and conducting fracking operations and returning the well to production.

    摘要: A test sample is extracted from a hydrogen induced cracking (HIC) resistant material candidate. A control sample is extracted from a prequalified HIC susceptible material that is known to suffer predetermined HIC damage when subjected to preset test conditions of a standardized HIC test (e.g., NACE TM0284). The HIC test is performed on the test and control samples. A value of a predetermined cracking criteria is calculated for the control sample. It is determined whether the calculated value of the predetermined cracking criteria is at least equal to a predetermined minimum threshold value. If yes, respective values of a plurality of predetermined HIC resistance criteria for the test sample are calculated. It is determined whether the calculated respective values of the plurality of predetermined HIC resistance criteria for the test sample are not greater than corresponding predetermined maximum threshold values. If yes, the HIC resistant material candidate is qualified as a valid source for sour service applications.
