Abstract: A temperature activated actuator installed on a tubular to actuate an adjacent device may include one or more shape-memory alloy elements. The elements may be coupled between a first portion and a second portion of a device, or the elements may be coupled between the tubular and a portion of the device. The elements are activated by raising the temperature to a transition temperature to cause metallurgical phase transformation, causing the elements to shrink and displace at least a portion of the device. The actuator may be used, for example, to actuate a centralizer from a run-in mode to a deployed mode or, alternately, to actuate a packing member from a run-in mode to an isolating mode. A nickel-titanium alloy, for example, may be used as the shape-memory alloy material from which the shape-memory element is made.

Abstract: A low emission and environmentally friendly apparatus and method is used to generate a high pressure stream of thermal vapor. The thermal vapor stream may be injected into a subterranean formation for recovery of highly viscous petroleum or used to turn a steam turbine for driving an electrical generator. In one implementation, the high pressure stream of thermal vapor is generated by burning a high temperature fuel, including any short or long chain hydrocarbon products from methane to coal, in an enclosed vessel to produce combustion gases. Various techniques may be used to improve heat distribution and lower the temperature of the combustion gases. Water may be used to quench the combustion gases and produce the superheated steam or vapor. The water may be introduced onto the combustion gases by spraying, weeping, dripping, and the like.

Abstract: A system and process for extracting hydrocarbons from a subterranean body of oil shale within an oil shale deposit located beneath an overburden. The system comprises an energy delivery subsystem to heat the body of oil shale and a hydrocarbon gathering subsystem for gathering hydrocarbons retorted from the body of oil shale. The energy delivery subsystem comprises at least one energy delivery well drilled from the surface of the earth through the overburden to a depth proximate a bottom of the body of oil shale, the energy delivery well extending generally downward from a surface location above a proximal enά of the body of oil shale to be retorted and continuing proximate the bottom of the body of oil shale. The energy delivery well may extend into the body of oil shale at an angle.

Abstract: Systems and methods for treating a subsurface formation are described herein. A system for treating a subsurface formation may include a plurality of wellbores in the formation. The system may include at least one heater positioned in at least two of the wellbores. The system may include a self-regulating nuclear reactor. The self-regulating nuclear reactor may function to provide energy to at least one of the heaters to raise the temperature of the formation to temperatures that allow for hydrocarbon production from the formation. A heat input to at least a portion of the formation over time may approximately correlate to a rate of decay of the self-regulating nuclear reactor. A spacing between at least a portion of the plurality of wellbores in the formation may correlate to a rate of decay of the self-regulating nuclear reactor. The self-regulating nuclear reactor may decay at a rate of about 1/E.

Abstract: Systems and methods for treating a subsurface formation are described herein. A method of heating a subsurface formation may include introducing molten salt into a first passageway of a conduit-in-conduit heater at a first location. The method may include passing the molten salt through the conduit-in-conduit heater in the formation to a second location. Heat may transfer from the molten salt to a treatment area during passage of the molten salt through the conduit-in-conduit heater. The method may include removing molten salt from the conduit-in-conduit heater at a second location spaced away from the first location. In some embodiments, the method may include introducing a secondary heat transfer fluid into at least a portion of a heater to preheat the heater to ensure flowability of a primary heat transfer fluid in the heater.

Abstract: A method for lowering the temperature of a portion of a subsurface formation is provided. Preferably, the formation is an oil shale formation. The method includes the step of injecting a cooling fluid under pressure into a wellbore, with the wellbore having been completed at or below a depth of the subsurface formation. The wellbore has an elongated tubular member for receiving the cooling fluid and for conveying it downhole to the subsurface formation. The wellbore also has an expansion valve in fluid communication with the tubular member through which the cooling fluid flows. The method then includes the steps of injecting a cooling fluid under pressure into the wellbore, and expanding the cooling fluid across the first expansion valve. In this way, the temperature of the cooling fluid is reduced. The temperature of the surrounding formation is likewise reduced through thermal conduction and convection.
