Weight-on-drill-bit and torque-measuring apparatus

Abstract: Apparatus is provided for measuring weight and torque on the drill bit in a logging-while-drilling system. The upper end of the drill bit is adapted for slidable engagement with the lower end of the drill collar. Transducers are mounted with a cavity formed between the drill collar and drill bit when they are in slidable engagement. The transducers measure axial and rotational motions of the drill bit which represent weight and torque on the drill bit, respectively.

Silica-modified zeolite catalyst and conversion therewith

Abstract: A catalyst is provided, which is especially applicable for the selective production of C 2 -C 3 olefins, comprising a crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite having a silica to alumina ratio of at least about 12, a constraint index, as hereinafter defined, within the approximate range of 1 to 12 and having contained within the interior crystalline structure thereof added amorphous silica in an amount of at least about 0.3 and preferably between about 0.5 and about 30 weight percent. The resultant catalyst is characterized by n-hexane sorption capacity at a temperature of 90° C and a n-hexane partial pressure of 83 mm. of mercury which is at least 1 percent less than corresponding sorption capacity under identical conditions for the unmodified zeolite. Generally, the n-hexane sorption capacity for the described silica-modified zeolite, at the above specified conditions, is 5 to 60 percent less than that for the zeolite which has not undergone treatment to incorporate amorphous silica therein. The invention described herein also encompasses synthesis of the specified catalyst and use of the same in selectively converting lower monohydric alcohols and their ethers, especially methanol and dimethyl ether, to a hydrocarbon mixture rich in ethylene and propylene.

Extending catalyst life by treating with phosphorus and/or steam

Abstract: There is disclosed a method for decreasing catalyst coking and extending the usable catalyst life by pre-treatment of the catalyst with steam and/or a phosphorus-containing compound. Catalysts benefiting from such pre-treatment comprise crystalline zeolites characterized by a silica to alumina mole ratio of at least 12 and a constraint index, as herein defined, within the approximate range of 1 to 12.

Manufacture of hydrocarbons

Abstract: A catalytic process is provided for converting lower monohydric alcohols and their ethers, especially methanol and dimethyl ether, to a hydrocarbon mixture rich in C 2 -C 3 olefins and mononuclear aromatics with high selectivity for para-xylene production by contact, under conversion conditions, with a catalyst bed comprising a major proportion of particle-form inert solid diluent having intermixed therewith a crystalline aluminosilicate zeolite characterized by (1) a crystallite size not greater than 0.5 micron, (2) a particle size less than 2 millimeters in its smallest cross-sectional dimension, (3) a silica to alumina ratio of at least about 12 and (4) a constraint index, as hereinafter defined, within the approximate range of 1 to 12.
