Filed:

Aug 31, 2009

Appl. No.:

13/392301

Inventors:

Gang Li - Houston TX, US
Kenneth E. Williams - Houston TX, US

Assignee:

HALLIBURTON ENERGY SERVICES, INC. - Houston TX

International Classification:

E21B 49/00
G01V 5/00

US Classification:

7315202, 250256

Abstract:

A method and apparatus for determining a stress field in a subterranean formation include deploying a stress measurement tool on a tubular string, opening at least three fractures in three different radial directions in the subterranean formation, and closing the at least three fractures. The at least three fractures are reopened while measuring stress and strain conditions. From the reopening, a tangential stress component for each of the at least three fractures is determined. From the tangential stress components and radial directions of the at least three fractures, the stress field of the subterranean formation is determined.

Abstract:

Embodiments of the present disclosure pertain to modified antigen presenting cells that include a recombinant protein appended onto a surface of the antigen presenting cells. The recombinant protein can include: an ectodomain positioned on the surface; a transmembrane domain with a region embedded in the cell membrane; an antigen presenting cell recruiting domain that directs the cells towards the cancer cells; and an antigen presenting cell activator that activates or licenses the antigen presenting cells. Additional embodiments of the present disclosure pertain to methods of expressing the recombinant proteins on antigen presenting cells and utilizing the modified antigen presenting cells for treating various cancers in various subjects. Further embodiments of the present disclosure pertain to nucleotide-containing carriers for expressing the recombinant proteins of the present disclosure in antigen presenting cells.

Abstract:

A method of testing mechanical properties of an earth formation can include disposing a probe in a wellbore, impacting the probe against a wall of the wellbore, and measuring a parameter related to at least one of a displacement, displacement rate, strain, and strain rate, of at least one of the probe and the formation. Another method can include disposing a probe and a known material in a wellbore, and after the disposing, penetrating the known material with the probe. Another method can include disposing a probe in a wellbore, measuring a displacement of the probe into a wall of the wellbore while measuring a load applied to the probe, and applying fluid pressure to the formation via the probe.

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to identifying potential fracture treatment locations in a rock formation for oil and/or gas production based on production potential. One example method includes receiving internal imaging data of a core sample of a rock formation; generating a digital core sample model of the structure of the core sample based on the internal imaging data; analyzing the core sample model to determine the density distribution of a deposit in the core sample; and determining a production potential value from the density distribution of the deposit.
