An over element line protector comprising of a body having a first major surface including a first curvature of a first radius and a second major surface including a second curvature having a second smaller radius, the second radius being smaller than the first radius, the body having a longitudinal extent and a central region aligned with and along the longitudinal extent having a first thickness and wing regions on both lateral sides of the central region of a second smaller thickness; a passageway located in the central region extending along the longitudinal extent of the body configured to protect a line therein.

METHOD FOR INJECTING FLUID INTO A FORMATION TO PRODUCE OIL

A method and system for enhancing petroleum production are provided, in which a fracturing operation can be conducted in a formation through a string and then petroleum is displaced from the fractured formation by selectively injecting fluid into selected fractures in the formation while other non-selected fractures remain without fluid injection. The injected fluid flows out into the fractured formation and enhances recovery from the non-selected fractures. Petroleum is selectively collected from the non-selected fractures.

Clamp having a core layer of rigid polyurethane

A creep resistant material comprises a core layer (12) of rigid polyurethane with a first tensile reinforcement layer (17) applied on one surface and a second tensile reinforcement layer (17) applied on the other opposed surface of the core layer, the entire respective first and second tensile reinforcement layers being in contact with the first and second surface of the core layer of the material.

Wireline cased-hole standoff
11125025 · 2021-09-21 ·

The present invention relates to a wireline cased-hole standoff (WCSO) for installation on a wireline cable of a wellbore logging tool. In embodiments, WCSO may be capable of significantly reducing wireline cable drag in a cased-hole section of a well or wellbore as well as reduce logging tensions and improve force transmission from wellbore surface to logging tool cable head during wireline logging operations. In one embodiment, WCSO comprises two cable insert halves, two opposing WCSO body halves (an upper body and a lower body), and two outer shells (an upper low-friction shell and a lower low-friction shell). Such components may be fastened together onto the wireline cable using screws, bolts, dowel pins, spigots, or any combinations thereof.
