When a response for the asynchronous operation is received, completion data is stored in a history, the program is re-executed and the completion data in the history is used to complete the asynchronous operation. The above actions may be repeated until no more asynchronous operations in the history are pending completion. | 09-18-2014 |
20150106825 | DURABLE EXECUTION OF LONG RUNNING APPLICATIONS - Executing a long running application while maintaining state of the application. A method includes identifying that a new event has taken place with respect to an execution of an orchestration. The method includes establishing the state of the orchestration by replaying the execution of the orchestration by replaying any previous state from a history of the execution of the orchestration. The method further includes executing a next instruction of the execution of the orchestration. The next instruction is an instruction coded in the orchestration to execute after items in the history have been replayed. | 04-16-2015 |

In one or more embodiments, the modified nonionic surfactant formulations can be introduced into a flow of carbon dioxide, where the flow of carbon dioxide and the modified nonionic surfactant formulation are injected into an oil containing reservoir. In one or more embodiments, an emulsion of the carbon dioxide and the nonionic surfactant form in the oil containing reservoir, where the use of the pour point depressant provides minimal interference in forming the emulsion. | 04-24-2014 |
20140251607 | NONIONIC SURFACTANTS FOR ENHANCED CRUDE OIL RECOVERY - The present disclosure provides methods of using a nonionic surfactant for enhanced oil recovery, where the nonionic surfactant is prepared with a double metal cyanide catalyst. The present disclosure also provides for an emulsion that includes carbon dioxide, a diluent and the nonionic surfactant. | 09-11-2014 |
20150136397 | METHOD AND COMPOSITION FOR ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY BASED ON SUPERCRITICAL CARBON DIOXIDE AND A NONIONIC SURFACTANT - Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed towards oil recovery compositions. As an example, an oil recovery composition can include a dimeric non-ionic surfactant and carbon dioxide. | 05-21-2015 |
20150252149 | PREPARATION OF HIGH MOLECULAR WEIGHT, FUNCTIONALIZED POLY(METH) ACRYLAMIDE POLYMERS BY TRANSAMIDATION - The present invention provides processes for making higher molecular weight, functionalized poly(meth)acrylamide polymer products. As an overview, the processes use (trans)amidation techniques in the melt phase to react one or more high molecular weight amide functional polymers or copolymers with at least one co-reactive species comprising at least one labile amine moiety and at least one additional functionality other than amine functionality. In practical effect, the processes of the present invention thus incorporate one or more additional functionalities onto an already formed or partially formed polymer rather than trying to incorporate all functionality via copolymerization techniques as the polymer is formed from constituent monomers. The methods provide an easy way to provide functionalized, high molecular weight poly(meth)acrylamide polymer products. | 09-10-2015 |
20160083642 | A LOW TEMPERATURE STABILIZED FOAM-FORMING COMPOSITION FOR ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY - This invention relates to a foam-forming composition having good low temperature stability and method of use thereof for enhanced oil recovery. Said foam-forming composition comprises an anionic sulfonate surfactant, preferably an alpha-olefin sulfonate, a alkyl ether solvent, and water and is preferably stable to at least −5C. A preferred alkyl ether solvent has the formula C8H18O3, C8H16O3, or mixtures thereof. Preferred alpha-olefin sulfonate have 10 to 18 carbons, preferably 12 carbons. A preferred method for recovering oil from a reservoir comprises the periodic injection of gas and said foam-forming composition into the reservoir and contacting the oil in the reservoir with the foam so as to assist in the recovery of oil from the reservoir. | 03-24-2016 |
20160083643 | ENHANCED OIL RECOVERY METHOD EMPLOYING A BIODEGRADABLE BRINE TOLERANT FOAM-FORMING COMPOSITION - This invention relates to a foam-forming composition and method of use thereof for enhanced oil recovery. Said foam-forming composition comprises an anionic sulfonate surfactant wherein the anionic sulfonate surfactant is biodegradable and has low aquatic toxicity. The method for recovering oil from a reservoir comprises the periodic injection of gas and said foam-forming composition into the reservoir and contacting the oil in the reservoir with the foam so as to assist in the recovery of oil from the reservoir. | 03-24-2016 |

20100064282 | DECLARATIVE TESTING FOR USER INTERFACES - The claimed matter provides systems and/or methods that actuate and/or facilitate declarative testing of software applications. The system can include devices that receive or elicit declarative definitions of testing scenarios and employs the declarative definitions to test a software application under consideration. Further, the system also compares the supplied declarative definitions with the results obtained from execution of the declarative definition. Where dissimilarity is observed the differences are persisted and the differences so persisted utilized as subsequent declarative definitions in order to iterate to a goal set forth in the declarative definition. In particular, the claimed matter can commence with a declarative answer, focus on a multiplicity of possible scenarios rather than the numerous operations needed to attain these scenarios, and utilize the differences obtained from execution of the declarative answer in order to simplify verification of software products. | 03-11-2010 |
