| 20120078021 | ANTI-AGGLOMERATE GAS HYDRATE INHIBITORS FOR USE IN PETROLEUM AND NATURAL GAS SYSTEMS - A method of inhibiting gas hydrate formation in petroleum and natural gas production systems through the use of low dosage hydrate inhibitors which include reaction products of non-halide-containing inorganic acids, organic acids, and organic amines. The use of these non-halide-containing reaction products rather than chloride containing acids or alkylating agents avoids corrosion and stress cracking caused by residual inorganic chloride and other inorganic, halide-containing acids. The anti-agglomerate compositions can be administered continuously to effectively inhibit gas hydrate formation. In preferred embodiments, the anti-agglomerate compositions are mixtures of reaction products of non-halide-containing organic acids and organic amines. | 03-29-2012 |

| 20090151938 | STIMULATION THROUGH FRACTURING WHILE DRILLING - A method for preparing a formation surrounding a wellbore to bear hydrocarbons through a borehole is disclosed. In one step, a bottomhole assembly is inserted into the borehole. The formation is drilled with the bottomhole assembly. The formation may be characterized with logging tools, probes, sensors, seismic system and/or the like to create first information. One or more fractures are placed in the formation without removal of the bottomhole assembly from the wellbore. Further, continuous drilling of the formation is performed with the bottomhole assembly after/during placing the fractures. Further characterizing of the formation with the probes, sensors/systems or the like is performed to produce second information. Another fracture is placed with feedback from the second information. Repeating the drilling, characterizing and placing of fractures as necessary during the formation preparing process. | 06-18-2009 |

| 20100176061 | WATER PURIFICATION - The invention provides an efficient method to purify an aqueous solution, typically mine drainage water, especially of anions and cations present in the aqueous solution as dissolved solids, the anions and cations are removed by treatment with a positively charged extractant having at least eight carbon atoms, whereby an unstable emulsion is formed; the unstable emulsion is allowed to break into an extract phase loaded with the anions and cations, and a water phase depleted in anions and cations; a floe inherently forms in the loaded extractant phase and then the loaded extractant phase and floe are separated from the purified water and treated to remove the anions and cations as concentrated useful products; the treated aqueous phase now reduced in anion and/or cation content is also separated from the emulsion as a purified aqueous solution. The extractant phase is preferably recycled. A continuous water purification process is provided. | 07-15-2010 |

| 20110280279 | WIRELESS TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT SYSTEM AND METHODS OF MAKING AND USING SAME - A temperature measurement system capable of operating in harsh environments including a temperature sensor having an antenna, diode, and dielectric layer disposed on the object of interest is provided, wherein the antenna includes a buried portion that extends through and is electrically coupled to the object of interest, and an exposed portion disposed upon an outer surface of the dielectric layer and the diode is coupled between the object of interest and the exposed portion of the antenna. The antenna is configured to receive interrogating signals from a transmitter, and to transmit response signals corresponding to the resonant frequency of the temperature sensor and its harmonics, which are indicative of the measured temperature of the object of interest. A receiver detects the response signals and correlates the frequency to a known temperature response of the dielectric material. Methods of making and using the temperature measurement system are also provided. | 11-17-2011 |
