A needle for a choke valve assembly includes a base portion formed from a first non-superhard material and a tip portion formed from a superhard material. The needle also includes a brazed connection coupling the tip portion to the base portion. The brazed connection includes an insert formed from a second non-superhard material, in which the second non-superhard material is harder than the first non-superhard material and softer than the superhard material. In addition, the brazed connection includes a shim disposed between the insert and the base portion, a first layer of brazing material disposed between the base portion and the shim, and a second layer of brazing material disposed between the shim and the insert.

A well-logging tool for a geological formation includes a housing to be positioned in a borehole and an antenna assembly carried by the housing. The antenna assembly includes an antenna housing having a recess therein. A dielectric material layer comprises a basalt fiber composite and is within the recess. At least one antenna coil is supported by the dielectric material layer. An electrical connector is coupled to the at least one antenna coil. Resistivity processing circuitry is coupled to the electrical connector to determine an electrical resistivity of the geological formation based on the at least one antenna coil.

A membrane to compensate for effects on a volume of oil, the membrane is a metal capable of an elastic deformation and having a shape selected to optimize the elastic deformation in a desired manner so as to compensate for the effects on the volume of oil.

A micro-structured surface for immersing in a multiphase fluid mixture comprises a substrate having pores and a wetting liquid phase trapped in the pores. The wetting liquid phase is immiscible with all the phases of the multiphase fluid mixture. Alternatively, the wetting liquid phase is miscible with one of the phase of the multiphase fluid mixture.

The disclosure provides a sensor cartridge that includes a protective housing that is resistant to downhole oilfield environment; a sensor within the protective housing able to measure a parameter of the down-hole oilfield environment; an attaching device to interconnect with another sensor cartridge and/or a hub; a data communication unit within the protective housing, the data communication unit providing wireless communication of the measured parameter to the other sensor cartridge and/or the hub when interconnected with the other sensor cartridge and/or the hub; and a power unit within the protective housing, the power unit providing power supply to sensor and/or data communication unit.

Contact-less sensor cartridge

To assemble a sensor array having plural sections, the sections of the sensor array are sealably attached, where the sections include sensors and cable segments. An inert gas is flowed through at least one inner fluid path inside the sensor array when the sections of the sensor array are being sealably attached.

Providing a sensor array

An electrical cable for use in a downhole application is provided. The cable includes an elongated support layer and an array of insulated conductors bonded to said elongated support layer. The elongated support layer substantially bears a weight of the conductors.
