A geopressure and geothermal power system includes at least one pressure exchanger configured to receive a production fluid and a working fluid. At least one power generation unit is fluidly coupled to the pressure exchanger. At least one production well is positioned at least partially within a geothermal reservoir and provides the production fluid to the pressure exchanger. The system may also include at least one heat exchanger fluidly coupled to the at least one pressure exchanger and configured to one of, a) receive from and b) provide to, the at least one pressure exchanger the production fluid and the working fluid.

Geopressure and geothermal power system

A system, composition and method for controlling fracture grown in the extraction of geothermal energy from an underground formation includes (i) introducing a first fracking fluid into an underground formation; (ii) introducing a second fracking fluid into the underground formation; wherein the specific gravity of the second fracking fluid is different from the specific gravity of the first fracturing fluid, thereby controlling the growth of at least one fracture in a downward direction, and wherein the fracking fluid in at least one of steps (i) or (ii) contains proppant particles having a thermal conductivity contrast of at least 5.

System, method, and composition for geothermal heat harvest

A system, composition and method for controlling vertical growth direction (up and down) of one or more fractures and/or rate of growth of one or more fractures by varying the specific gravity of one or more slurries or fluids being pumped into a well during a tracking operation.

System, method, and composition for controlling fracture growth

A system, composition and method for controlling vertical growth direction (up and down) of one or more fractures and/or rate of growth of one or more fractures by varying the specific gravity of one or more slurries or fluids being pumped into a well during a fracking operation.

An expandable tubular liner includes a first tube, a second tube, a mechanical coupling for coupling the first and second tubes, and an insert coupled to the mechanical coupling. The insert is capable of forming a metallurgical bond with at least one of the tubes when energy is injected into the insert.

Expandable connection

A tubular sleeve overlaps the threaded connection between a pair of adjacent tubular members that are to receive an expansion device for radial expansion and plastic deformation of the threaded tubular connection.

Sleeve for expandable tubular threaded connection and method of expanding tubular thereof

An apparatus for radially expanding and plastically deforming a tubular member includes a support member with a fluid passage. A mandrel is movably coupled to the support member and includes an expansion cone operable to radially expand and plastically deform the tubular member when moved relative to the tubular member. A pressure chamber is positioned between the support member and the mandrel, and the pressure chamber is fluidicly coupled to the fluid passage. A releasable support is coupled to the support member and operable to selectively couple the support member to the tubular member.

Apparatus for radially expanding and plastically deforming a tubular member

A tubular sleeve is coupled to and overlaps the threaded connection between a pair of adjacent tubular members.

Protective sleeve for threaded connections for expandable liner hanger

Methods and apparatus for radially expanding a tubular member.

Liner hanger

A mono-diameter wellbore casing is formed by radially expanding a first tubular liner off of a mandrel into contact with a second tubular liner. The first and second tubular liners are positioned within the wellbore in an overlapping relationship. The overlapping portions of the tubular liners include thin wall portions with compressible annular members that are expanded into contact with each other.

Pipeline

A tubular member is expanded by pressurizing an interior region within the tubular member.

Method of coupling a tubular member

A flow control system for an apparatus for radially expanding tubular members.

Flow control system for an apparatus for radially expanding tubular members

An apparatus for radially expanding and plastically deforming a tubular member. In some embodiments, the apparatus includes a support member and an adjustable expansion device coupled thereto. The adjustable expansion device includes a tubular support member with a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart inclined surfaces, a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart expansion segments movably coupled to the tubular support member, and an actuator for displacing the expansion segments relative to the tubular support member to thereby displace each of the expansion segments onto corresponding inclined surfaces.
