最长冲程和最重的有杆抽油地面机组
Logan Industries International Corp. 与发明家 Dave Krug 合作，在德克萨斯州制造 480 PLUS 有杆抽油地面装置。最初，该产品专注于电潜泵转换井，在这些井中，增加的光杆行程和更大的提升额定值可以提高流体产量并减少杆反转。简化的机械布置与真正的井下泵过程控制相结合。该操作源自井下产生的实际工作（之前的泵冲程填充流体的能力加上杆下落的能力），而不是预设的运动曲线。实时监控的两个过程变量可调节杆柱方向、停留时间、速度、力限制和每分钟总冲程。所有这一切都是在不使用变速电动机驱动的情况下完成的，这意味着在停电期间不会出现令人讨厌的故障。此外，由于冷却和润滑要求，480 PLUS 没有最低速度。

Service delivers real-time insights to optimize reservoir exposure and enhance well economics
Schlumberger has released the PeriScope Edge multilayer mapping-while-drilling service. The service expands the depth detection range and improves resolution compared to existing services while using cloud and digital solutions to offer reservoir insights. This reduces uncertainty and ensures optimal reservoir exposure while drilling, enhancing well construction efficiency. Measurements expand the depth of detection and improve the resolution compared with previous bed-boundary detection services, enabling the service to deliver clearer boundary delineation, even for multiple layers of 3 ft or less. The multilayer service uses deep-resistivity technology and a traverse antenna for multidirectional measurements to reveal up to eight bed-boundary layers, providing definition and certainty beyond a 25-ft radius. Leveraging these capabilities, the PeriScope Edge service helps drillers sustain a more accurate trajectory while inside the reservoir, which contributes to greater reservoir exposure that leads to optimal production.
Bringing benefits of cloud geoscience technologies to E&P in China
CGG GeoSoftware and Amazon Web Services (AWS) extend their collaboration in the global E&P industry to China. GeoSoftware 11.0, CGG’s portfolio of reservoir characterization and petrophysical interpretation software solutions, is now available in the AWS China region for the Chinese E&P industry. To resolve common reservoir modeling challenges in China, owing the complex geology, thin layers and strong heterogeneity within reservoirs, greater accuracy is needed in estimating uncertainty to reduce risk. Jason RockMod geostatistical seismic inversion within the product is designed specifically to address these challenges by providing highly detailed reservoir characterization to produce more accurate reservoir models. By combining Jason inversion technology with the ability to scale and access vast computing resources, it is possible to explore more modeling scenarios with greater complexity and simultaneously generate dozens to hundreds of realizations from geostatistical seismic inversion. AWS offers elastic and scalable cloud infrastructure to run these applications, enabling geoscientists, engineers and researchers to innovate beyond the limitations of on-premises infrastructure.
High-density equipment preservation and hydrate prevention fluid deployed to four Gulf of Mexico subsea wells
(Source: Universal Subsea Inc.)
Universal Subsea Inc. has developed and deployed the industry’s first high-density subsea equipment preservation and hydrate prevention fluid. This environmentally friendly fluid has been injected into the access bore of four subsea wells in the Gulf of Mexico to date. Defender Stasis HD was formulated to protect subsea tree mandrels, tree access bores, tubing head spools and similar subsea equipment. The fluid has properties that protect subsea equipment from corrosion, calcareous deposits and marine fouling, while preventing costly methane hydrate formations in the access bore of trees where gas may accumulate. It is nontoxic, biodegradable, non-bioaccumulating, non-sheen forming and non-hydrate forming. This high-density synthetic oil is classified as a subsea equipment preservation fluid in compliance with U.S. EPA NPDES GMG290000 and is approved for direct release from sea to subsea oil and gas facilities. The product meets the strictest regulatory requirements for offshore oil-producing nations worldwide.

Longest stroke and heaviest lift rod pumping surface unit
Logan Industries International Corp. has partnered with inventor Dave Krug to manufacture the 480 PLUS rod pumping surface unit in Texas. Initially, the product was focused on electric submersible pump conversion wells, where increased polished rod travel along with heavier lift ratings provide improved fluid production and fewer rod reversals. Simplified mechanical arrangements are combined with true downhole pump process control. The operation is derived from the real work produced downhole (previous pump strokes ability to fill with fluid plus the rod’s capability to fall), not a preset motion profile. Both process variables, monitored in real time, regulate rod string direction, dwell, speed, force limiting and total strokes per minute. All this is accomplished without the use of a variable speed electric motor drive, meaning no nuisance faults during brown outs. Additionally, 480 PLUS has no minimum speed due to cooling and lubrication requirements.
