摘要:
A method and system is disclosed for extending the depth of a subterranean borehole that uses heated aqueous fluid to dissolve rock of the subterranean formation. The heated aqueous fluid comprises water and hydroxides of Group I elements of The Periodic Table of Elements and mixtures thereof. The drilling system comprises means for delivering aqueous fluid and heating the aqueous fluid prior to contacting rock of a subsurface formation.
摘要:
A method for detecting hydrocarbons is described. The method includes performing a remote sensing survey of a survey location to identify a target location. Then, an underwater vehicle (UV) is deployed into a body of water and directed to the target location. The UV collects measurement data within the body of water at the target location, which is then analyzed to determine whether hydrocarbons are present at the target location.
摘要:
A method for detecting hydrocarbons with an underwater vehicle equipped with one or more measurement components is described. The method includes navigating the UV within the body of water; monitoring the body of water with measurement components associated with the UV to collect measurement data. The collected data from the UV is used to determine whether hydrocarbons are present and at the location.
摘要:
Provided are methods and systems for vacuum coating the outside surface of tubular devices for use in oil and gas exploration, drilling, completions, and production operations for friction reduction, erosion reduction and corrosion protection. These methods include embodiments for sealing tubular devices within a vacuum chamber such that the entire device is not contained within the chamber. These methods also include embodiments for surface treating of tubular devices prior to coating. In addition, these methods include embodiments for vacuum coating of tubular devices using a multitude of devices, a multitude of vacuum chambers and various coating source configurations.
