Tagging Compositions And Methods

US Patent:
6380547, Apr 30, 2002
Filed:
Dec 9, 1999
Appl. No.:
09/445622
Inventors:
Manuel E. Gonzalez - Kingwood TX 77345
Roy Goeller - Los Alamos NM 87544
Jacobo Archuleta - Espanola NM 87532
Dale Spall - Los Alamos NM 87544
International Classification:
G01N 2164
US Classification:
2504581, 2504591, 2504611
Abstract:
A process for marking an article in a manner which is optically invisible and difficult to detect. The process is carried out by selecting a laser luminophore which fluoresces in a predetermined portion of the spectrum when exposed to an excitation light of predetermined wavelength and applying the laser luminophore to the article in an amount which is optically invisible when the article is exposed to electromagnetic radiation but which is sufficient for machine detection when the article is exposed to an excitation light of predetermined wavelength.

Method Of Identifying Chemicals By Use Of Non-Radioactive Isotopes

US Patent:
5474937, Dec 12, 1995
Filed:
Aug 30, 1993
Appl. No.:
8/108625
Inventors:
David K. Anderson - Houston TX
Manuel E. Gonzalez - Kingwood TX
Nicholas P. Valenti - Kingwood TX
Assignee:
Isotag, L.L.C. - Houston TX
International Classification:
G01N 3324
US Classification:
436 27
Abstract:
A method is disclosed for identifying the source of a transported chemical shipment. The method employs either a chemical element or an organic compound with one or more atoms that are non-radioactive isotopes generally not found in nature. A small quantity of the isotopic compound is introduced into the storage vessel containing the chemical to be transported prior to shipment of the chemical. Upon arrival at its destination point, a sample of the chemical shipment is analyzed. Matching the isotopic compound found in the chemical with the isotopic compound introduced into the storage vessel prior to shipment is indicative that the shipped chemical is identical to the chemical received. Non-radioactive materials may further be employed for detecting the source of a newly introduced contaminant in a water supply. The chemical substance may be a non-radioactive isotope of the chemical shipment being transported.

Collar Load Support Tubing Running Procedure

US Patent:
5083356, Jan 28, 1992
Filed:
Oct 4, 1990
Appl. No.:
7/592586
Inventors:
Manuel E. Gonzalez - Humble TX
Joe M. Escobar - Viboras Encino TX
Doyle F. Boutwell - Houston TX
Mark Sibille - Lafayette LA
Charles M. Webre - Lafayette LA
Assignee:
Exxon Production Research Company - Houston TX
International Classification:
B23P 1904, B23P 1100
US Classification:
29429
Abstract:
A method for non-abrasively running tubing comprising suspending the tubing from the face of the uppermost collar of the tubing by resting the face upon a support shoulder, making up a new tubular with collar into a tubular unit, attaching a non-abrasive lift unit to a tubular unit, stabbing the new tubular into the upper collar, non-abrasively making the connection tight, and lifting the lift unit to raise the string, the method being appropriately reversed for pulling the string.

System And Method For Remote Sensing

US Patent:
2012021, Aug 23, 2012
Filed:
Nov 14, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/295784
Inventors:
Manuel E. Gonzalez - Kingwood TX, US
M. Clark Thompson - Los Alamos NM, US
Robert L. Williford - Los Alamos NM, US
David W. Beck - Santa Fe NM, US
Assignee:
Chevron U.S.A., Inc. - San Ramon CA
International Classification:
E21B 47/12
US Classification:
175 40
Abstract:
A system, method and device may be used to monitor conditions in a borehole. Well tubing and casing act as a conductive pair for delivering power to one or more downhole active sensors. At the surface, power and signal are isolated so that the same conductive pair may act to transmit the sensor signals to the surface. In an embodiment, the sensor signals are RF signals and the surface electronics demodulate the RF signals from the sensor power.

Method Of Tagging Hydrocarbon Fuels

US Patent:
5981283, Nov 9, 1999
Filed:
Dec 12, 1995
Appl. No.:
8/571361
Inventors:
David K. Anderson - Houston TX
Manuel E. Gonzalez - Kingwood TX
Nicholas Paul Valenti - Kingwood TX
Assignee:
Isotag, L.L.C. - Houston TX
International Classification:
G01N 3324
US Classification:
436 27
Abstract:
A liquid hydrocarbon fuel composition comprises at least one tagging agent and a mixture of hydrocarbon components having boiling points in the range of about 100 degrees F. to about 800 degrees F. The tagging agent is present at a concentration in the range of from about 0. 5 ppb to about 500 ppb. The tagging agent is elutable by chromatographic analysis of the liquid hydrocarbon fuel composition apart from the hydrocarbon components of the fuel composition. The tagging agent is formed from an organic compound containing elements found at natural isotopic abundance. Preferably, two or more tagging agents are employed in the fuel so that each fuel composition can be assigned a unique tagging agent composition. Analysis techniques are also disclosed.
