Title: Low temperature barrier wellbores formed using water flushing

Abstract

A method of forming an opening for a low temperature well is described. The method includes drilling an opening in a formation. Water is introduced into the opening to displace drilling fluid or indigenous gas in the formation adjacent to a portion of the opening. Water is produced from the opening. A low temperature fluid is applied to the opening.

Low temperature barriers for use with in situ processes

Patent Kim, Dong Sub [Sugar Land, TX]; Vinegar, Harold J [Bellaire, TX]

A method of forming and maintaining a low temperature zone around at least a portion of a subsurface treatment area is described. The method includes reducing a temperature of heat transfer fluid with a refrigeration system. The heat transfer fluid is circulated through freeze well canisters and placed in a formation around at least a portion of the subsurface treatment area. An initial temperature of the heat transfer fluid supplied to a first freeze well canister is in a range from about -35 .degree. C. to about -55 .degree. C. At least one of the well canisters includes carbon steel.more » « less

Method for forming a nitrogenation barrier and machine formed using a body having the nitrogenation barrier

Patent Kool, Lawrence Bernard; Zou, Min; Zhang, Wanming; ...

A method includes forming one or more oxide barrier layers on one or more protected portions of a magnetic, metallic body, and converting one or more unprotected portions of the magnetic, metallic body to a less magnetic material by exposing the magnetic metallic body having the one or more oxide barrier layers formed thereon to nitrogen. One or more protected portions of the magnetic, metallic body that are beneath the one or more oxide barrier layers are not converted to the less magnetic material. The method can be used to form one or more layers of a laminated electric motor.

Method for forming a temperature sensing layer within a thermal barrier coating

Patent Fouliard, Quentin; Ghosh, Ranajay; Raghavan, Seetha

A thermal barrier coated component, such as a turbine blade formed from a superalloy substrate, includes a thermal barrier coating applied onto the substrate. A metallic bond coat layer is on the substrate and includes rare-earth luminescent dopants. A ceramic top coat layer is on the bond coat layer. A temperature sensing thermally grown oxide (TGO) layer is formed at the interface of the bond coat layer and ceramic top coat layer. The temperature sensing TGO layer includes grown rare-earth luminescent ions migrated from the metallic bond coat layer in an amount sufficient to enable luminescence sensing of the TGOmore » « less
