20130140031 | SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PERFORMING OPTIMIZED DOWNHOLE STIMULATION OPERATIONS - A method of performing a stimulation operation for an unconventional wellsite having natural fractures and hydraulic fractures. The method involves providing at least one treatment parameter with a corresponding objective function value and performing a fracture operation based on the treatment parameter. The fracture operation involves defining a treatment schedule, conducting a hydraulic fracture operation, and estimating production. The objective function value is based on an objective function. The method also involves modifying the treatment parameter and performing the fracture operation based on the modified treatment parameter. The modified treatment parameter has a corresponding modified objective function value based on the objective function. The method continues with optimizing the treatment operation by comparing the objective function value with the modified objective function value, and repeating the modifying and optimizing for new modified treatment parameters until convergence about a desired outcome whereby an optimized parameter is defined at convergence. | 06-06-2013 |
20140305638 | MODELING OF INTERACTION OF HYDRAULIC FRACTURES IN COMPLEX FRACTURE NETWORKS - Methods of performing a fracture operation at a wellsite with a fracture network are provided. The methods involve obtaining wellsite data and a mechanical earth model, and generating a hydraulic fracture growth pattern for the fracture network over time. The generating involves extending hydraulic fractures from a wellbore and into the fracture network of a subterranean formation to form a hydraulic fracture network, determining hydraulic fracture parameters after the extending, determining transport parameters for proppant passing through the hydraulic fracture network, and determining fracture dimensions of the hydraulic fractures from the hydraulic fracture parameters, the transport parameters and the mechanical earth model. The methods also involve performing stress shadowing on the hydraulic fractures to determine stress interference between fractures and repeating the generating based on the determined stress interference. The methods may also involve determining crossing behavior. | 10-16-2014 |

20120283637 | Injection site marker - The present invention relates to the use of syringes for medicinal liquid injections into mammals, particularly humans, with the syringe bearing a marker ink to mark injection site with marker ink. The disclosed embodiments address re-injecting a medical liquid into the skin at the same location as previous injections. The practice of re-injecting medical liquids into the same location can result in indentions, hard lumps, or thickening of the skin, or lipohyperplasia. It can further cause medications such as insulin, to be inefficiently absorbed. Rotating injection sites within arms, thighs, stomach or buttock usually prevents or reduces this problem. A marker is used on the portion of the syringe that touches the skin of a recipient and causes ink or powder to be transferred to the skin of the recipient to mark an injection site for a desired length of time. | 11-08-2012 |

20110290494 | METHOD FOR CIRCULATING A FLUID ENTRY OUT OF A SUBSURFACE WELLBORE WITHOUT SHUTTING IN THE WELLBORE - A method for removing a fluid influx from a subsea wellbore drilled using a pump to return fluid from the wellbore to the surface. The method includes detecting the influx when a rate of the return pump increases. Flow from the wellbore is diverted from the return pump to a choke line when the influx reaches the wellhead. A choke in the choke line is operated so that a rate of fluid pumped into the wellbore is substantially equal to a flow rate through the choke line. Fluid flow from the wellbore is redirected to the return pump inlet when the influx has substantially left the well. | 12-01-2011 |
20130186636 | METHOD FOR CIRCULATING A FLUID ENTRY OUT OF A SUBSURFACE WELLBORE WITHOUT SHUTTING IN THE WELLBORE - A method for removing a fluid influx from a subsea wellbore drilled using a pump to return fluid from the wellbore to the surface. The method includes detecting the influx when a rate of the return pump increases. Flow from the wellbore is diverted from the return pump to a choke line when the influx reaches the wellhead. A choke in the choke line is operated so that a substantially constant bottom hold pressure is maintained while drilling fluid continues to be pumped through the drill sgring. Fluid flow from the wellbore is redirected to the return pump inlet when the influx has substantially left the well. | 07-25-2013 |

20090132557 | USING HIERARCHICAL GROUPINGS TO ORGANIZE GRC GUIDELINES, POLICIES, CATEGORIES, AND RULES - A system and methodology are provided for using hierarchical groupings to organize governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) policies and rules. The groupings are based on categorizations that can be arbitrarily represented by both predetermined and user-defined hierarchical policy naming schemes. Once GRC regulatory and compliance policies and rules are grouped to accommodate company policies, testing can be designed around groups of policies and/or rules and scheduled to align with schedule and timing requirements. By allowing a policy or rule to be associated with multiple hierarchies, a single execution of a policy or rule can be associated with, managed from, and satisfy multiple regulatory and compliance needs with one effort. | 05-21-2009 |

20120179646 | Multi-tenant audit awareness in support of cloud environments - A cloud enablement aggregation proxy (CEAP) receives and processes audit data from audited resources before such data is stored in a database. The CEAP manages log data for resources hosted in a multi-tenant shared pool of configurable computing resources (e.g., a compute cloud). A method for managing log data begins by the proxy aggregating and normalizing log information received from a plurality of the resources. The aggregated and normalized log information is then parsed to identify a tenant associated with each of a set of transactions. For each of the set of transactions, the CEAP annotates log data associated with the tenant and the particular transaction to include a tenant-specific identifier. An optional tenant separation proxy (TSP) separates the annotated log data on a per tenant basis prior to storage, and the tenant-specific log data may be stored in per tenant data structures or dedicated tenant log event databases to facilitate subsequent compliance or other analysis. | 07-12-2012 |

20130254083 | Payment device policy management - A method, apparatus and computer program product enables user-directed, selective control of payment transactions for a user's payment device. The techniques enable a payment device user to create and manage self-defined policies on how a particular payment device (tangible or intangible) may be used. This approach enables the end user, as opposed to the financial or commercial institution, to control transactions with respect to the account. Thus, for example, using a display interface, the account holder can control factors such as: allowed or disallowed vendors, a number of charges, timing of charges, a charge frequency, types of purchases allowed, and the amount charged. This fine-grained, device-specific control mechanism enables account holders to protect financial assets against fraudulent or improper activity. The approach provides a policy management system by which user-directed options for selectively controlling and restricting payment transactions may be realized, thereby providing better security and more customized account control. | 09-26-2013 |
