International Classification:

G08B 21/00
G08B 17/12
G03B 11/00
H05B 33/00

US Classification:

3406861, 34053913, 34053929, 3405721, 340600, 700115, 2504821, 2504845, 235384

Abstract:

A method of and a system for tracking radioactive sources includes at least one RFID tag attached to a radioactive source shield, the shield receiving a radioactive source at a base location, and a TRX-Gamma box for detecting identification information from the RFID tag and sensing a first gamma radiation count from the radioactive source shield. The identification information and the first gamma radiation count are stored and the shield with the radioactive source is transported to a job location where the radioactive source is removed from the shield. At the job location, a check is made that the radioactive source has been returned to the shield by comparing any newly detected identification information with the stored identification information, and by comparing a sensed second gamma radiation count with the first gamma radiation count.

G01V003/00

US Classification:

709/224000, 340/853100

Abstract:

An interactive (‘InterACT’) apparatus and associated method will transmit wellbore information, in real time, to a client approximately simultaneously with a generation of the wellbore information at a well site, in response to interactive requests made by the client at a workstation computer over the internet, without requiring the client to actually travel to the well site in order to acquire and view the wellbore information. In addition, the interactive apparatus and associated method will generate and display, on a client's display screen of the client's personal computer or workstation, a unique ‘display window’ (known as the ‘InterACT Stimulation Viewer’) when the client is accessing the internet using only the client's ‘browser’ software that is already installed on the client's personal computer (such as, Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer). As a result, there is no need to purchase or license any additional software, other than the ‘browser software’, to display the unique ‘display window’ on the client's display screen of his personal computer. The new and novel ‘display window’ displays ‘real-time’ wellbore information to the client approximately simultaneously with the generation of that wellbore information at the well site, the ‘display window’ displaying both ‘real-time’ digital ‘wellbore data’ information and ‘real-time’ graphical ‘wellbore data’ information (which can utilize the digital information to generate the graphical format) for displaying the ‘real-time’ wellbore information.

International Classification:

F16L 41/03
E21B 43/26

Abstract:

A fluid manifold segment operable for detachably coupling with another instance of the fluid manifold segment to form a fluid manifold assembly. The fluid manifold segment may include a plurality of pressure exchangers each having a clean fluid inlet a clean fluid outlet, a dirty fluid inlet, and a dirty fluid outlet. The fluid manifold segment may further include a first fluid conduit having opposing end ports and intermediate ports, a second fluid conduit having opposing end ports and intermediate ports each fluidly connected with the clean fluid outlet of a corresponding pressure exchanger, a third fluid conduit having opposing end ports and intermediate ports each fluidly connected with the dirty fluid inlet of a corresponding pressure exchanger, and a fourth fluid conduit having opposing end ports and intermediate ports each fluidly connected with the dirty fluid outlet of a corresponding pressure exchanger.

Abstract:

The present disclosure introduces methods and systems for capturing knowledge and experience of wellsite operators. Sensors at a wellsite generate sensor data during a wellsite operation. Operator data indicative of human actions performed at the wellsite during the wellsite operation are also generated. The sensor and operator data is synchronized to capture job experience and knowledge pertaining to the wellsite operation.
