10809171 · 2020-10-20 · ·

The invention discloses a method for testing of injectable biomaterials and their performance in the treated materials, to obtain functional properties of the biomaterials and of the specimen injected with that biomaterial. The purpose of the method is to measure these properties during injection of a biomaterial into a target object, then measure the properties of a target object specimen after the injection, and then combine these results using material model-free data processing with possible prediction.

20200325772 · 2020-10-15 ·

Provided is a method for the determination of the water cut and volumetric flow rate of a fluid flowing through a density inflow control valve. A density inflow control valve may include a floating device that moves between a relaxed choke position and a restricted choke position depending on the density of the fluid flowing through the valve. Pressure gauges upstream and downstream of the inflow control device may be used to measure the pressure drop across the inflow control valve over time. The water cut of the downhole fluid flowing through the valve may be determined from the pressure drop over time and the pressure drop associated with the relaxed choke position and the restricted choke position. The volumetric flow rate may be determined from the average water cut and the density of the downhole fluid, as determined from the single phase densities.

Using Fluidic Devices To Estimate Cut of Wellbore Fluids

A method includes directing a wellbore fluid into a flow control assembly coupled to a completion string positioned within a wellbore, the flow control assembly including at least a first fluidic device defining a flow passage, where the flow passage is formed of a material having a known wettability selected to correspond to a component of the wellbore fluid. The pressure change along the flow passage is measured and utilized to determine fluid cut based on a predetermined correspondence between pressure change and component cut for the first fluidic device. Multiple fluidic devices, each selected to have a wettability responsive to a different component of the wellbore fluid, may be aligned in parallel or series to determine the cut of multiple components in the fluid.

ELECTRICAL CONNECTOR, FLUID STATE TEST DEVICE AND FLUID HEAT EXCHANGE SYSTEM

An electrical connector includes a main body portion, connection portions, a first temperature sensing element and a second temperature sensing element. The connection portions allow the main body portion to be electrically connected to a charged element provided in a flow channel. The main body portion includes a first side and a second side which are parallel to a flow direction of fluid. The first temperature sensing element and the second temperature sensing element are provided at mutually opposite positions on the first side and the second side in an electrically insulated manner. A fluid state test device having the electrical connector and a fluid heat exchange system are further provided. Thus, the original flow field where the electrical connector of the electrode of the electric heater is located may not change, and destruction to the flow field is avoided.
