A Summary of the Geothermal and Methane Production Potential of U.S. Gulf Coast Geopressured Zones From Test Well Data (includes associated papers 16455, 16460, 16480, and 16521 )

“…The Sweezy Weill was flowed for only about 9 months before it sanded up. 6 Recent experiments at the Gladys McCall Well 1 apparently have solved the problem of calcium carbonate scale formation, which had been a major factor limiting flow rates in the design wells. A new technique successfully tested at the McCall well involves the injection of a scale-inhibiting chemical into the producing formation.…”

Measurements of elastic scattering cross sections for 25.2, 28.5, 37.4, 36.8, and 42.2 keV X‐ray photons in elements with 22 ≤ Z ≤ 83

“…Spectroscopically, pure foils of 23 V, 26 Fe, 27 Co, 28 Ni, 29 Cu, 30 Zn, 39 Y, 40 Zr, 41 Nb, 42 Mo, 44 Ru, 46 Pd, 47 Ag, 48 Cd, ð Þ ′ q , values for the q th components of the incident photon spectrum consisting of 50 Sn and 60 NdK X-ray and scattered 59.54 keV γ-rays after correction for the self-absorption in the secondary targets 50 Sn secondary target 60 Nd secondary target Component Energy (keV) [37] Relative intensity [37] Component Energy (keV) [37] Relative intensity [37] 63 Eu, and 71 Lu elements in 1-in diameter pellets were prepared by pressing the elemental/chemical compound powder using the pellet making machine (Paul-Otto-Weber Co., Germany). The liquid targets of 31 Ga and 80 Hg were prepared by sealing these elements between~6-μm mylar film.…”

“…[5,11,12] The S-matrix calculations are based on second-order relativistic calculation in the independent particle approximation, which assumes the independent electrostatic interaction of electrons with a central potential of the nucleus and electron charge distribution. From the review of the earlier work, [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32] it can be inferred that most of the scattering measurements were done using the photon beams either in direct or secondary excitation mode obtained from radioactive sources, namely, 60 Co, 109 Cd, 137 Cs, 147 Cs, 203 Hg, and 241 Am radioisotopes. Some of the measurements on elastic scattering cross sections were performed using photon flux obtained from X-ray of tube [29][30][31][32] and lack the corrections related to incident photon intensity and other geometrical factors.…”
