20140352954 | SYNCHRONIZING PULSES IN HETEROGENEOUS FRACTURING PLACEMENT - A technique facilitates a fracturing operation by maintaining the heterogeneity of proppant fluid as it is injected into reservoir fractures. The technique comprises using a blender to deliver proppant material in a pulsating manner to create pulses of proppant. The pulses of proppant are mixed with a fluid to create a proppant slurry having the pulses of proppant material separated by a second fluid. The proppant slurry is then split between a plurality of pumps which are operated to pump the slurry to a well. To maintain heterogeneity, the pump rates of the pumps are individually adjusted to control dispersion of the pulses of proppant downstream of the pumps and to substantially maintain the separated pulses of proppant material in the slurry. A wide variety of other system adjustments also may be made for enhancing the ability of the overall fracturing system to maintain separated pulses of concentrated proppant material. | 12-04-2014 |

In making a tubular thread that involves initially machining a taper followed by the thread form, the probe and the various cutters are oriented against gauge blocks supported in the chuck jaws. The probe is used to dimensionally inspect the taper that is cut as an initial step before the thread form is produced. Inspection using the probe takes place upon machining the taper and after the thread form is cut using the probe integrated into the machine. | 02-23-2012 |
20140319783 | Expandable High Pressure and High Temperature Seal - An expandable seal features a ring structure with internal and external seal. The seals are mounted in grooves and extend beyond a base outer dimension on the ring on the inside and the outside surfaces. Bumps are positioned in axial alignment with the seals but in opposition to each seal so that the exterior seal has a bump axially aligned but on the inside of the ring and the inner seal has a bump axially aligned and on the outside surface of said ring. The bumps have end transitions to the base dimension to create a volume for the seal material to travel axially when radially expanded from a mandrel extending within for effective seal containment. Seal rings can be stacked to adjust to dimensional irregularities in the surrounding tubular or the mandrel and to back each other up in the event of seal failure in any one seal ring. | 10-30-2014 |
