An electrically operated propellant includes an electrolyte source. The electrolyte source is an ionic liquid, a polyelectrolyte, or a combination thereof. The electrically operated propellant also includes a polymeric binder. The electrically operated propellant is substantially waterless with a water content of less than 10 wt. % water based on total weight of the electrically operated propellant.

A well livening downhole tool for the in-situ production of nitrogen is provided. The well livening downhole tool may produce nitrogen in-situ in a well to lighten the fluid column and lift the well fluids. The well livening downhole tool may include sodium azide and other reactants to produce nitrogen and scavenge other reaction products to produce alkaline silicate and water. The well-livening downhole tool may include multiple modules each having nitrogen-producing reactants and ignition components such that each module may be activated independently to produce nitrogen at different depths. A process for lifting the well fluids using the well livening downhole tool is also provided.

Coated Al—Li alloys, such as coated particles of Al—Li alloys, are provided. The coated alloys may be used in solid-rocket propellants. Additionally, methods of making such coated alloys, alloys coated with various methods, and solid-rocket propellants comprising such coated alloys are also provided.

A method for enhanced validation of an entity associated with a COF token includes: storing at least transaction data, a token requester identifier (TRJD), and a COF token identifier; receiving payment credentials, wherein the payment credentials include at least a COF-specific payment token; generating a transaction message, wherein the transaction message is formatted based on one or more standards and includes at least a plurality of data elements including at least a first data element configured to store the COF-specific payment token, a second data element configured to store the COF token identifier, a third data element configured to store the TRID, and one or more additional data elements configured to store the transaction data; and electronically transmitting the generated transaction message to a financial institution via a payment network.

A setting tool having a tool body, a chamber configured to contain a non-explosive fuel configured to generate gas and plasma, a cavity, a bleed sub located between the chamber and the cavity. The bleed sub is configured to bleed pressure from the chamber to the cavity after the non-explosive fuel has been initiated. The setting tool also includes a piston disposed within the cavity oriented to stroke in a first direction after the non-explosive fuel has been initiated. The piston may divide the cavity into an upper volume that may receive the pressure increase from the bleed sub and a lower volume. The setting tool may also include a shaft mechanically connected to the piston within the lower volume of the cavity. The shaft may include a dampening conduit configured to drain a fluid from the lower volume after the non-explosive fuel has been initiated.
