Appl. No.:

11/314857

Inventors:

Brian C. Considine - Chelmsford MA, US

Assignee:

Schlumberger Technology Corporation - Cambridge MA

International Classification:

E21B 43/00

US Classification:

166248

Abstract:

The extraction of hydrocarbon fuel products such as kerogen oil and gas from a body of fixed fossil fuels such as oil shale is accomplished by applying a combination of electrical energy and critical fluids with reactants and/or catalysts down a borehole to initiate a reaction of reactants in the critical fluids with kerogen in the oil shale thereby raising the temperatures to cause kerogen oil and gas products to be extracted as a vapor, liquid or dissolved in the critical fluids. The hydrocarbon fuel products of kerogen oil or shale oil and hydrocarbon gas are removed to the ground surface by a product return line. An RF generator provides electromagnetic energy, and the critical fluids include a combination of carbon dioxide (CO), with reactants of nitrous oxide (NO) or oxygen (O).

Abstract:

A closed loop system for increasing yield, reducing post process pollution, reducing energy consumed during and after extraction of fuels or contaminants in formations and for sequestering of carbon dioxide C0from various sources is converted to a critical fluid for use as a flushing and cooling medium. Electrical energy heats a hydrocarbon rich formation resulting in the extraction of hot fluids which are fed to heat exchangers, gas/liquid separator, and steam turbine whereby oil, electric power, carbon dioxide and methane are produced for reuse in the system or for external use. Further, a method for sequestering of carbon dioxide in a formation comprises the steps of injecting COinto the reservoir, flushing with cool pressurized COfor heat removal, infiltrating with ultra-fine low density suspended catalyst particles of dry sodium hydroxide in CO, pumping water moistened COinto the reservoir to activate the catalysts, binding the COwith reacting materials and capping the reservoir.

US Classification:

228 9, 228 13, 228119

Abstract:

A system includes a first module to store times and temperatures for phases in a profile to rework a populated printed circuit board (PCB) for a first integrated circuit (IC) on the PCB and a second module to store suggestions for modifying one or more of the times and the temperatures in the profile to generate a revised profile, the suggestions being associated with pass/fail indications determined from actual temperature information for the profile.

Abstract:

Methods and articles for receiving times and temperatures for stages of a profile including solder heating stages to rework a populated printed circuit board (PCB), the rework including removing a first integrated circuit (IC) from the PCB, focusing heat on the first integrated circuit using an oven element during rework of the PCB, collecting actual temperature information from a plurality of temperature sensing elements to detect actual temperature information associated with the first integrated circuit, and generating a suggested modification for an operator to modify the time and/or the temperature of at least one of the stages in the profile in response to a fail status indicating that the collected actual temperature information did not meet temperatures for a variable.

US Classification:

134 1, 134 10, 134 221

Abstract:

A method of cleaning an industrial tank using electrical energy and critical fluid comprises the steps of transmitting electrical energy into an industrial tank to a first predetermined temperature, providing a critical fluid with a reactant or catalyst into the tank for diffusion into the contents of the tank at a predetermined pressure, transmitting electrical energy into the tank to heat the contents including the critical fluid to a second predetermined temperature to initiate reaction of a reactant in the critical fluid with a portion of the contents of the tank causing hydrocarbons and contaminants to be released for extraction as a vapor, liquid or dissolved in the critical fluid. A step of pressure cycling may be performed prior to a step of removing the contents of the tank including the hydrocarbons and contaminants. A further step includes separating the hydrocarbons, critical fluid, gases, and contaminants removed from the tank.

Abstract:

The present invention relates to a system and method for reducing risk to a firm and firm program and, more particularly, to reducing risk and improving yield or performance by considering firm strategic intent, phase, and integrated visuals. The current invention identifies, quantifies, and integrates strategic intent into the risk mitigation procedure by modifying the consequence chart, by dividing the program into phases, and by depicting risk related metrics, including strategic intent, that are associated with the risk element, the program, and/or the firm in a three dimensional graph.
