Abstract: An encapsulated lost circulation material includes: a particulate having a core including a compressed shape-memory polymer foam, and a disintegrating agent, the disintegrating agent including at least one of a phase change material or a gas-producing material; and a shell encapsulating the core. A method of reducing lost circulation includes: introducing into a subsurface a wellbore fluid including the encapsulated lost circulation material; heating the disintegrating agent to cause the phase change material to expand, or to cause the gas-producing material to produce a gas, or a combination thereof to break the shell; and releasing the compressed shape-memory polymer foam from the encapsulated lost circulation material; expanding the released shape-memory polymer foam; and filling a void or fracture of the subsurface with the expanded compressed shape-memory polymer foam to reduce fluid loss.

Abstract: A wellbore system includes a slip hanger arranged within a wellbore component, the slip hanger having a mechanical receptacle formed in a face of the slip hanger. The wellbore system also includes an adapter configured to couple to the slip hanger, the adapter having one or more engagement members arranged to engage the mechanical receptacle, wherein the one or more engagement members extend into the mechanical receptacle to secure the slip hanger to the adapter.

Abstract: A method for measuring the temperature of a submersible pumping system motor includes the steps of obtaining an analog motor temperature signal from a motor temperature sensor, converting the analog motor temperature signal to a digital motor temperature signal using an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), providing the digital motor temperature signal to a processor, determining the absolute value of the digital motor temperature signal with the processor to produce a corrected digital motor temperature signal, and reporting the corrected digital motor temperature signal. The method is designed to correct the measurements made by the motor temperature sensor in the event the motor temperature sensor is connected incorrectly.

Abstract: In at least one embodiment, a valve removal (VR) system for an oilfield equipment includes a VR plug having a first surface and a second surface. The VR system includes a bushing to be removably associated with the first surface. The bushing is to extend, at least partly, beyond the second surface of the VR plug. The bushing is also to contact an inner surface of a valve of the oilfield equipment and to prevent the second surface from contacting the inner surface of the valve. The VR system includes a guiding rod to be associated with the VR plug to support guidance of the VR plug through the valve of the oilfield equipment. The guiding rod is also to be disassociated from the VR plug to support removal of the guiding rod from the valve with the VR plug remaining in the oilfield equipment.

Abstract: Drilling mud is flowed through a valve assembly that is set at a particular open amount, measurements are taken of mud flowrate and a force exerted by the drilling mud onto a portion of the valve assembly, and density of the drilling mud is estimated based on historical data. The historical data is generated by directing multiple flows through the valve assembly, where the flows are at different flowrates, and at each flowrate different drilling muds having different densities are directed through the valve assembly. For each flow the valve assembly is adjusted to different open amounts, and a corresponding force exerted by the flow onto the valve assembly is measured. An example of the valve assembly is a mud pulser with a plug member that engages an orifice opening, a sensor in the pulser measures force exerted by the flow of mud.

Abstract: A backup includes an anchor portion, an operable portion extending from the tip of the anchor portion, and an S section having a curvilinear line therein and where a substantially constant thickness of material from the line to an inside surface of the S section and a substantially nonconstant thickness of material from the curvilinear line toward an outside surface. A backup system including a backup, a gauge ring engageable with the anchor portion, the gauge ring including a contact surface with a back angle configured to engage the S section when the backup is set. A seal system including a mandrel, a backup, disposed on the mandrel, a gauge ring disposed on the mandrel and configured to interact with the backup; and a seal element disposed on the mandrel.

Abstract: An injection valve for introducing fluids into a subsurface environment includes a valve housing including a conduit having an inlet and an outlet. A valve seat member is arranged in the valve housing. The valve seat member includes an outlet portion and a valve seat. An anti-rotation dart is arranged in the valve housing. The anti-rotation dart includes a valve element that selectively extends into the outlet portion and is engageable with the valve seat. An anti-rotation feature is provided on at least one of the valve seat and the anti-rotation dart. The anti-rotation feature constrains rotation of the anti-rotation dart relative to the valve seat.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining the orientation of the toolface of a rotating downhole tool using multiple sensors that measure different parameters related to the orientation of the toolface, where outputs of the different sensors are used by a Kalman filter which generates accurate predictions of the toolface orientation (state) at each of a series of time steps. The Kalman filter generates a state prediction based on a physical model and a previous state, and updates the prediction based on a received sensor output. Another sensor output is fed through a phase locked loop to generate a sine wave at the fundamental frequency of the sensor signal. The sine wave is used to synchronize another sensor signal that is provided to the Kalman filter for further adjustment of the state prediction.

Abstract: A process of manufacturing a polymer product includes continuously forming a temporary container; introducing an unsaturated monomer component and a radical polymerization component into the temporary container; sealing the temporary container to form a sealed temporary container; and allowing the unsaturated monomer component to polymerize in the sealed temporary container to form the polymer product via a radical polymerization reaction.

Abstract: A copolymer useful as a water clarifier for a water phase of a production fluid is selected from those with a first monomer and a second monomer, and in one non-limiting embodiment having the general formula: wherein y is 10 to 50,000; z is 1 to 10,000 and n is 1 to 250. The copolymer may optionally include a third monomer. In an optional embodiment of the process, the fluid has a hydrocarbon phase, and the process further involves simultaneously drying the hydrocarbon phase of the fluid along with clarifying the water phase.
