US Patent:

63184990, Nov 20, 2001

Filed:

May 26, 1999

Appl. No.:

9/320228

Inventors:

Joseph Honein - Houston TX
Carl R. Cook - Houston TX

International Classification:

E04G 116

US Classification:

182222

Abstract:

A composite scaffolding plank made from a plurality of wooden boards positioned in side to side parallel abutment. At least one of such boards is a whole natural wooden board, and at least one of such boards is a laminated wooden board. A plurality of spaced pins extend transversely through the wooden boards. A cam means on the pins pulls and holds the boards together. In addition, my invention is a method of forming wide wooden planks from two or more narrow wooden boards (as described) by positioning the boards in side to side parallel abutment and embedding a plurality of spaced pins transversely through the boards. Further, a method of increasing the strength of a wooden plank is to cut the plank longitudinally into sections, add at least one laminated wooden board, position the sections in side to side parallel abutment, and subsequently embed a plurality of spaced pins in the sections.

Abstract:

A method for independently modeling a water flow rate, an oil flow rate, and a gas flow rate using data-driven computer models is disclosed. The method can include obtaining parameters of a well associated with an asset during a well test; creating the ensemble of data-driven models to model the water flow rate, the oil flow rate, and the gas flow rate based on the parameters; evaluating each model of the ensemble of models; selecting a subset of models from the ensemble of models; modeling each of the water flow rate, the oil flow rate, and the gas flow rate independently using the subset of models; reconciling each of the water flow rate, the oil flow rate, and the gas flow rate for the well with a total flow rate at the asset; and outputting the water flow rate, the oil flow rate, and the gas flow rate.
