Abstract:
High power lasers and high power laser systems that provide high power laser beams having preselected wavelengths and characteristics to optimize or enhance laser beam performance in predetermined environments, conditions and use requirements. In particular, lasers, methods and systems that relate to, among other things, Raman lasers, up conversion lasers, wavelength conversion laser systems, and multi-laser systems that are configured to match and create specific and predetermined wavelengths at specific points along an optical path having varying requirements along that path.
Abstract:
There are provided high power laser and laser mechanical earth removing equipment, and operations using laser cutting tools having stand off distances. These equipment provide high power laser beams, greater than 1 kW to cut and volumetrically remove targeted materials and to remove laser affected material with gravity assistance, mechanical cutters, fluid jets, scrapers and wheels. There is also provided a method of using this equipment in mining, road resurfacing and other earth removing or working activities.
Abstract:
There is provided pressure control systems, methods and apparatus for the use of high power laser energy to server structures, such as rods, tubes, wireline, slickline and braided line in well and pipeline pressure control situations.
Abstract:
There is provided a high power laser system for powering a remotely located laser device, such as an ROV, using a photo-conversion device, such as a laser photovoltaic assembly. Laser device systems, such as ROV systems that utilizes a high power laser cutting and/or cleaning tools are also provided.
Abstract:
There are provided using high power laser systems for performing decommissioning welding and repair of structures in boreholes, off¬ shore, and other remote and hazardous locations. In a particular embodiment the laser system is a Class I system. The present inventions relate to methods, apparatus and systems for the delivery of high power laser beams to cut and remove structures in the earth, and in particular, for surface decommissioning activities for hydrocarbon wells, among other things.
