    摘要: A method for decomposing an asphaltene particle includes contacting the asphaltene particle with an intercalating agent and separating an asphaltene molecule from the asphaltene particle to decompose the asphaltene particle. Dispersing an asphaltene particle includes functionalizing the asphaltene particle and contacting the asphaltene particle with a solvent to disperse the asphaltene particle. Such asphaltene particle decomposition and dispersal can be used in a method for improving oil recovery that includes disposing a reagent in an oil environment; contacting an asphaltene particle with the reagent; decomposing the asphaltene particle to produce decomposed asphaltene; and displacing the decomposed asphaltene to improve oil recovery.

    摘要: A downhole fluid separation assembly, including a body having greater affinity to a first fluid than a second fluid. The body is operatively arranged with openings for enabling fluid flow therethrough. A member is included that is movable with respect to the body and operatively arranged to compress a section of the body adjacent to the member for urging fluid out of the body and toward a target location. The body is configured to expand when not adjacent to the member for enabling fluid to reenter the body. A method of separating fluids is also included.

    摘要: A swellable article, including a matrix material and an exfoliatable graphene-based material disposed in the matrix material. The exfoliatable graphene-based material is operatively arranged to facilitate swelling of the swellable article upon exposure to a selected fluid by sorbing particles in the fluid. The swelling enables the swellable article to engage an adjacent structure. Methods of making and using a swellable article are also included.

    摘要: Methods of forming a cutting element include immersing at least a portion of a volume of polycrystalline diamond in a liquid electrolytic solution, applying a voltage between the polycrystalline diamond and a cathode in contact with the liquid electrolytic solution, and removing at least a portion of metal catalyst from interstitial spaces between adjacent diamond grains. The polycrystalline diamond includes interbonded diamond grains and metal catalyst particles in the interstitial spaces between adjacent grains of polycrystalline diamond material. Some methods include forming a barrier over a portion of a volume of polycrystalline diamond and transferring at least a portion of the metal catalyst from a portion of the polycrystalline diamond not covered by the barrier to a liquid electrolyte. Some methods include encapsulating a volume of polycrystalline diamond in a barrier and selectively removing a portion of the barrier from a first portion of the volume of polycrystalline diamond.
