The present application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 60/519,497, filed Nov. 13, 2003, titled "Production of Natural Gas from Hydrates," and hereby incorporated herein by reference for all purposes.
Not Applicable.
The present invention relates generally to methods and apparatus for extracting gaseous hydrocarbons from subterranean formations. More particularly, the present invention relates to extracting gaseous hydrocarbons from gas hydrate formations.
Production of gas from subterranean oil and gas reservoirs by drilling and installation of grouted casings is a well-established practice. Natural gas (methane) production has primarily been achieved through drilling wells into deep reservoirs where natural gas, frequently in association with crude oil and water, may be trapped under a layer of cap rock. The well is lined with a casing that is cemented to the surrounding formation to provide a stable wellbore. The casing is then perforated at the reservoir level to allow gas and reservoir fluids to flow into the casing and then to the surface through tubing inside the casing.
In these cased well applications, one or more concentric casings are installed to progressively greater depths, down to a pressurized reservoir. Cementing, or grouting, the casing(s) to the formation material, and to adjacent casings, prevents hydrocarbons from escaping from the pressurized reservoir along the exterior of the casing. Gas enters the lower part of the casing via perforations in the casing or, in highly consolidated (rock) reservoir formation material, via an un-cased extension of the drilled hole.
In most applications, a "packer" is used to isolate the lower part of the casing from the upper part and one or more strings of production tubing hang from the wellhead down to the zone below the packer or between adjacent packers. After entering the casing via the perforations, the gas enters the tubing string(s) where it flows to the surface, through valves, and to a pipeline. The cased well method facilitates control of the flow of gas from a high-pressure reservoir and is well suited for production from porous rock or sand formation material.
Methane hydrates, or hydrates, are one type of formation material found close to the surface, especially in cold environments. Methane hydrates are similar to water ice and are composed primarily of water, methane, and, to a lesser extent, other volatile hydrocarbons. The frozen water particles form an expanded lattice structure that traps the methane, or other hydrocarbon particles, to form a primarily solid material.
Methane hydrates have been found to be stable over a range of high pressure and low temperature. Methane hydrates are stable at combinations of temperature and pressure found in onshore arctic regions and beneath the sea floor in water depths greater than approximately 1,500 feet (500 meters). Changes in either the temperature or the pressure can cause methane hydrates to melt and release natural gas. Methane gas may also be trapped below the hydrate layer, much as it is trapped below cap rock layers in deep underground reservoirs.
The development of viable methods for the commercial production of natural gas from naturally occurring deposits of methane hydrates has been the subject of extensive research. The construction of standard cased wells has been used to reduce the pressure on the underside of the hydrate-bearing zone. This approach collects gas that is trapped below the hydrates and, by reducing the pressure, may cause hydrates in the surrounding formation to release additional natural gas. This release will cease when the formation materials isolate the remaining hydrates from the zone of reduced pressure or when the latent heat of thawing causes the temperature to drop sufficiently to stabilize the remaining hydrates at the reduced pressure. Thawing absorbs heat equal to the latent heat of the hydrates and, if this heat is not replaced, the temperature will drop and conditions will eventually shift into the stability region for hydrates, whereupon release of methane from the hydrates will stop.
Notwithstanding the above teachings, there remains a need to develop new and improved methods and apparatus, for producing hydrocarbon gases from subterranean hydrates, which overcome some of the foregoing difficulties while providing more advantageous overall results.
The embodiments of the present invention are directed toward methods and apparatus for recovering hydrocarbons from subterranean hydrates. A column of modified material substantially filling a wellbore extends into the hydrate formation. A heat source extends into the column of modified material and is operable to provide heat to the hydrate formation so as to release methane gas from the hydrate formation. Methane gas flows through the column of modified material to a gas collector, which regulates the flow of gas to a production system.
In one embodiment, a well for producing hydrocarbons from hydrate deposits includes a wellbore containing a column of material modified for permeability and/or heat conductivity. The well also comprises a heat source for heating the hydrate formation to release hydrocarbon gases. The hydrocarbon gases pass through the permeable material up through the wellbore and is captured. Gas captured can be collected and/or processed to provide useful hydrocarbon gas products.
The embodiments of the present invention include provisions for forcing the release of natural gas from the hydrates and provisions for producing the released gas. These embodiments may also include provisions for delivering produced gas to a chamber suitable for separating gas from water, storing gas, drying gas, and regulating flow. Embodiments may also include commingling gas from multiple wells in a controlled manner and delivering the gas to a pipe or pipeline. These embodiments can be used to produce gas from hydrate formations that are not suitable for production by conventional wells. Certain embodiments can also be used to extend the life of wells used to produce hydrates.
Thus, the present invention comprises a combination of features and advantages that enable it to overcome various problems of prior devices. The various characteristics described above, as well as other features, will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments of the invention, and by referring to the accompanying drawings.
For a more detailed description of the preferred embodiment of the present invention, reference will now be made to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
In the description that follows, like parts are marked throughout the specification and drawings with the same reference numerals, respectively. The drawing figures are not necessarily to scale. Certain features of the invention may be shown exaggerated in scale or in somewhat schematic form and some details of conventional elements may not be shown in the interest of clarity and conciseness. The present invention is susceptible to embodiments of different forms. There are shown in the drawings, and herein will be described in detail, specific embodiments of the present invention with the understanding that the present disclosure is to be considered an exemplification of the principles of the invention, and is not intended to limit the invention to that illustrated and described herein. It is to be fully recognized that the different teachings of the embodiments discussed below may be employed separately or in any suitable combination to produce desired results. For example, the concepts of the present invention can be used in deviated, horizontal, and directional wells, as well as the vertical wells used in the following description.
In particular, various embodiments described herein thus comprise a combination of features and advantages that overcome some of the deficiencies or shortcomings of prior art hydrate production systems. The various characteristics mentioned above, as well as other features and characteristics described in more detail below, will be readily apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading the following detailed description of preferred embodiments, and by referring to the accompanying drawings.
The embodiments of the present invention are described in the context of the production of natural gas from hydrates that occur naturally in arctic permafrost or within sediments that comprise the deep ocean seabed, typically at water depths of 1,500 feet and deeper. Except where otherwise indicated, it is assumed that the pressure within these hydrate formations is at or near the corresponding ambient pressure for the depth at which the formation is found. Hydrate formations will release hydrocarbon gases as either the temperature of the formation is increased or the pressure on the formation is decreased. The embodiments of the present invention seek to produce hydrocarbon gases from these hydrate formations using novel production apparatus designs and methods.
Referring now to
Thus, in the following discussion, modified material 15 should be taken to define a material having a different permeability and/or thermal conductivity than the surrounding formation. The modified material 15 may be a slurry or a granular solid material that substantially fills a wellbore. In this context, substantially fills is defined as where the material 15 is in direct contact with the hydrate formation 12 and fills wellbore 10 irrespective of other wellbore-installed members, such as tubing and casing, or interstitial areas formed between adjacent particles of the modified material.
The selection of the materials forming the column of modified material may also be made with some consideration to regulating the heat flow from the wellbore into the formation. Thermal conductivity can be regulated by changing the liquid content or by injecting materials having the desired thermal conductivity into modified column 16. Examples of materials with high thermal conductivity that may be suitable for use include, naturally occurring minerals or ores, refined or processed minerals, metals, or ceramics, and industrial byproducts. Exemplary materials include metal ores and coke breeze. Fabricated devices such as metal fibers, metal particles, metallic oxides, or liquid filled volumes may also be placed in column 16 to enhance thermal conductivity. The modified material may preferably be a slurry, for which conventional pumping methods can be used to inject the slurry into wellbore 10.
For the purposes of the following description, the modified column 16 is considered to be permeable to gases and/or have a high thermal conductivity. Thus, as hydrate formation 12 releases hydrocarbon gases 18, the gases flow into wellbore 10 and up through modified column 16 toward the top of the well.
A heat-injecting well 36 is shown in
When heat is transferred to formation 12 by heat-injecting well 36, hydrates in close proximity to the well thaw first, with thawing extending farther out as time progresses. Thawing of the hydrates releases hydrocarbon gases, such as methane. Methane released in close proximity to well 36 flows toward the inlet of tubing 46, on the outside of heat source 50, and through modified material 42, which has been disturbed during drilling of wellbore 10 and/or modified to change its permeability or thermal conductivity. Methane liberated at a greater distance from well 36 is effectively blocked from vertical upward migration by naturally occurring layers of consolidated materials, and by hydrate ice in the pores and fissures of the undisturbed formation 12. Increased pressure resulting from thermal liberation of gaseous methane from solid ice, causes the released methane to flow primarily horizontally or diagonally upward through the thawed zone until it can move vertically through well 36. Proximity to a heat source helps prevent hydrates from reforming in wellbore 10 and accelerates the methane migration through the wellbore to the inlet of tubing 46.
A heat-injecting well causes gas to be released by thawing the hydrates. The thawing generates sufficient pressure to cause the gas to migrate into and through a permeable wellbore from where it can be produced. The heat for the heat-injecting well may be from any available source, including hot fluids, combustion of fuel and oxidizer, hot combustion gases, or electrical resistance heating. Combustion may be at any location remote from the heat-injecting well, or may occur inside the heat-injecting well. An ambient or cooled liquid or gas can also be injected into the well in order to decrease the temperature of the surrounding formation. This decrease in temperature will reduce and eventually stop the hydrates from thawing, thus limiting the release of gas into the wellbore.
Cap 44 not only controls the flow of gas, but also allows further control of thermal effects on the formation in the region around the cap. Reducing the thermal conductivity around the upper part of the well allows the upper levels of sediment to remain cold. Isolation of the upper layers of sediment from heating can help maintain the structural stability of the formation, and help maintain a relatively impermeable cap over the hydrate area to help reduce the escape of methane.
Once captured in a tubing string, the hydrocarbon gases can be collected and transported via a pipeline, or other means.
Heat source 76 extends from well 58 into a region of chamber 54 where it is accessible for connections and control. Tubing 78 extends from well 58 into either gas region 66 or water region 64 of chamber 54. Gases in gas region 66 will tend to circulate up along heat source 76 and then back down along chamber walls 60, which are cooled by unconfined seawater or arctic air on the outside of the wall, effectively serving as a cold plate. Gas circulating down along walls 60 will be cooled, and moisture in the gas will condense on the wall and fall into liquid region 64. In this manner, excess moisture can be removed from the gas.
In chamber 54, water is displaced from the liquid region 64 through a control valve 82 as the volume of stored gas increases. Control valve 82 may also be used to control the pressure in gas region 66 by regulating the volume of liquid in liquid region 64. Gas can be removed from chamber 54 through export pipe 84 by regulating one or more export valves 86 controlled either remotely or by the volume of gas in the chamber, or by both.
Thus, chamber 54, when equipped with suitable valve(s) for controlling the gas and liquids inlet, outlet, and pressure, can serve any or all of the multiple functions of accepting gas from the formation, separating the gas from produced water, removing excess moisture from the gas, storing gas, regulating gas pressure, regulating gas into a pipe or hose, preventing water from entering the pipe or hose, and disposing of produced liquid. Chamber 54 is shown in
When chamber 54 is installed on the seafloor 56, gas enters the chamber at or near ambient sea water pressure so a large quantity of gas can be held in a relatively small volume. For example, if the chamber is located at a water depth of 3,300 feet (1,000 meters), the gas occupies approximately 1% of the volume it would occupy at a pressure of one atmosphere. Securing chamber 54 to heat source 76 and/or cap 74 allows the weight and soil-skin friction of the casing and cap to be used to react the buoyancy force of the stored gas.
An alternate chamber embodiment is illustrated in
As with chamber 54 in
As previously discussed, heating hydrate formation 12 will result in both methane and water flowing up through production tubing 144 and into the storage and treatment chamber 120. In order to prevent chamber 120 from filling with water, excess accumulated water must be vented. It is often desirable, both for efficiency and for environmental protection, to strip any dissolved methane from water before it is released. This can be done by routing the vent water through heating chamber 146 to warm it and thereby reduce its ability to hold dissolved gas.
Gas driven from the vented water is released into the storage and treatment chamber 120 where it is captured and mixed with the gas products in gas portion 122. Heating chamber 146 can be placed anywhere in the vent water path but may be preferably placed contiguous with the production tubing as shown in
In certain applications, a plurality of hydrate production systems 52, which may be arranged in a circular or rectangular array, can be used in cooperation as shown in
The design of the well is one of the most important aspects of any of the above described hydrate production systems. Shown in the above described embodiments is a simple heat-injecting well that produces hydrocarbon gases. Although shown integrated into one well, it is understood that the heat-injecting and the hydrocarbon production functions could be separated into two or more wells. Injecting heat into the hydrate formation releases the hydrocarbon gases from the formation and allows recovery of the gases.
The hydrate formation is analogous to an insulating blanket wrapped around the heat-injecting well. The heat flow in the formation, for a given thermal conductivity and temperature difference, is directly proportional to the surface area of the formation in contact with the heat-injecting well. It is understood that heat transfer, Q, into the formation can be represented by the equation:
Heat transfer can be analyzed by considering the surface of the heat-injecting well as a cylinder, surrounded by concentric cylindrical shells of formation material. Shells further from the well have larger surface area so they conduct the heat more readily. If the thermal conductivity of the heat-injecting well is greater than that of the formation material, then the greatest restriction of heat flow is through the innermost cylindrical shell of formation material, i.e., the one that is in direct contact with the well. Increasing this surface area (such as by increasing the diameter of the heat-injecting well) allows greater heat flow without exceeding the practical limit on maximum temperature.
In the embodiments in which a single heat source is contained within a centrally located tubular member, the formation is warmed by heat flowing through the wall of the tubular member. The amount of heat that can be transferred through the wall of the tubular member is dependent on the surface area of the tubular member, both in contact with the hot medium inside and the modified column outside. Thus, the maximum heat transfer through the tubular member is dependent on the surface area, and therefore the diameter, of the tubular member. Further, the tubular member is preferably constructed from a material with a high thermal conductivity, such as metal.
It is preferred that for a desired amount of heat transfer, the limiting parameters that determine the minimum diameter for the tubular member depend primarily on the temperature, specific heat, and mass flow rate of the fluid or combustion gas that moves through the tubular member. Given turbulent subsonic flow inside the tubular member and maintenance of a temperature below the boiling point of water on the outside of the member, the preferred tubular member has an outside diameter of at least 4 inches.
As discussed earlier, heat transfer is proportional to thermal conductivity times the surface area through which the heat is transferred. Thermal conductivity of the formation depends on local conditions, but a conductivity of 2 Watts/m� C. can be used as representative. If a value of 10 Watts/m� C. is taken as the upper limit on column conductivity, then the ratio of thermal conductivity for the column to the conductivity of the formation is 5. From the proportionality established earlier for heat transfer across a boundary, it is apparent that the outer diameter of the modified column/wellbore must be at least 5 times the diameter of the central heating tubular member. If, as above, the central tubular member has a diameter of 4 inches, the outer diameter of the modified column must be at least 20 inches.
This calculation ignores the effect of temperature drop along a horizontal radial line through the modified column but this is relatively small because, for the case examined here, the separation is only 8 inches. It is apparent that improvement in thermal conductivity of the modified column, a larger and higher energy central element, or improvement in any of the variables subject to engineering manipulation would make it desirable to increase the outer diameter of the modified column since the thermal conductivity of the formation is the most important limiting parameter that can not be optimized by engineering trade-off of physical constraints.
Thus, it can be seen that a large diameter wellbore is preferred. Depending on the properties of the hydrate formation being exploited, wellbores having diameters up to and exceeding 60″ are possible. At these large diameters lining the depth of the wellbore with a metal casing is possible but can be cost prohibitive. A metal casing may also create additional challenges with the movement of gas into the wellbore from the formation. Thus, as opposed to lining the wellbore with a casing, the wellbore may be filled with a material that replaces or modifies the formation material to facilitate the movement of gases and the transfer of heat.
Referring now to
In an alternate embodiment, as shown in
Fuel 212 and oxidizer 214 are preferably combusted at select regions along chamber 210 in order to regulate the amount of heat transferred into the formation at varying depths. Combustion chamber 210 provides for the reaction of fuel and oxidizer and allows combustion products to flow downward for injection into the modified column 206 or upward to be vented. One reactant may flow in the combustion chamber 210 and the other in a separate tubing, or each reactant may flow in separate tubing and be injected into the combustion chamber.
In some embodiments, a well may not be used to produce gas but only to inject heat into the formation in order to facilitate production through other wells. For a non-producing, heat-injecting well the thermally conductive material may be formulated so as to block the migration of gas. Migration can be blocked by, for instance, injecting a material formulated for the desired thermal characteristics, such as grout or resin, that will solidify.
The heat-injecting wells described above may be used as an alternative to, or in conjunction with, conventional pressure relief production wells that may be used to tap pressurized gas from the hydrate zone. A heat-injecting well can be used to produce natural gas from hydrate deposits while a nearby pressure relief well is producing, or after a nearby pressure relief well has depleted the hydrates that are suitable for production by pressure relief methods. Heat-injecting wells can also be used in conjunction with pressure relief wells such that one or more heat-injecting wells replace the heat absorbed by thawing of hydrates so as to sustain flow in a pressure relief well past the time when gas flow would otherwise decrease and eventually stop.
Referring now to
Wellbore 10 may be formed by drilling or jetting into hydrate formation 12. Wellbore 10 may be filled with the column of modified material 306 as the wellbore 10 is formed. In some embodiments, column of modified material 306 is formed from a granular, or particulate, solid material, such as gravel or sand, that forms interstitial areas between adjacent solid particles. These interstitial areas make the column of modified material 306 permeable to gases.
Heat source 310 may be at tubular member that extends into the column of modified material 306. Heat source 310 provides a conduit through which a heated fluid, such as steam, can be pumped to a desired location within the column of modified material 306. As heat is injected into the column of modified material 306, the heat is transferred to the surrounding hydrate formation 12. This heat causes methane gas 18 to be released from the hydrate formation 12 and flow into the column of modified material 306. The temperature of the heated fluid can be regulated to control the flow of gas 18 into the column 306. In certain embodiments, an ambient or cooled fluid can be injected through heat source 310 to effectively stop the flow of gas 18 into column 306.
Gas 18 will flow up through the column of modified material 306 towards collector 308 located at the seafloor 56. Gas 18 enters gas region 314 where contact with the cool walls of chamber 312 causes water to condense and fall into liquid region 316. Gas/liquid separator 318 uses the heat from heat source 310 to remove further gas from the water before excess water is removed through vent 326. Heat source 310 also serves to heat both gas region 314 and liquid region 316 to create circulation currents 328 and 330. Outlet 320 provides fluid communication to a production unit or gas export pipeline.
While preferred embodiments of this invention have been shown and described, modifications thereof can be made by one skilled in the art without departing from the scope or teaching of this invention. The embodiments described herein are exemplary only and are not limiting. Many variations and modifications of the system and apparatus are possible and are within the scope of the invention. For example, the relative dimensions of various parts, the materials from which the various parts are made, and other parameters can be varied, so long as the system and apparatus retain the advantages discussed herein. Accordingly, the scope of protection is not limited to the embodiments described herein, but is only limited by the claims that follow, the scope of which shall include all equivalents of the subject matter of the claims.

One sailor killed, one jailed in wreck
Car they were in struck train near Ingleside
A 20-year-old Navy sailor died early Friday and a 24-year-old sailor was in the San Patricio County Jail after the vehicle they were in hit a train just west of Ingleside.
Texas Department of Public Safety officials received a call of a collision about 2:35 a.m. on State Highway 361 just outside the OxyChem plant.
"A 2002 Ford Mustang was traveling east . . . when it struck a Union Pacific railroad train," said Trooper Payton Sherrer. "Both the passenger and the driver are members of the United States Navy and were stationed at Naval Station Ingleside."
Mitchell D. McGough of Ohio was pronounced dead at the scene about 3 a.m., Sherrer said. He said Navy officials were not able to make the notification to McGough's immediate family until about 3 p.m. Friday because of weather in Ohio.
Charles Russell Sharp Jr. of Mississippi was driving the Mustang and he was arrested on suspicion of intoxication manslaughter. He remained in jail late Friday on a $50,000 bond.
Sherrer said the train was leaving the chemical plant but was not blocking both lanes. He said the front right portion of the Mustang struck the left rear of the train. Both men were wearing seatbelts.
The cause of McGough's death was not available.

Eight O'Clock tests canisters in supermarkets
Montvale, NJ-based coffee marketer Eight O'Clock Coffee is testing a composite foil/paperboard canister in New York City supermarkets for two flavors of Great Coffees of the World.
These gourmet coffees have been available in convenience stores in a whole-bean 12-oz flexible package format for about a year. Now the firm wants to see how a ground-coffee format will do in a supermarket setting; the 8.5-oz packs sell for about $4.80.
Sonoco (Hartsville SC) supplies the canister with steel bottom seamed on. Eight O'Clock fills the canister at its Landover MD plant and seams on the top a steel ring with a foil/DuPont surlyn® membrane heat-sealed to it. Installed on a rental basis the packaging equipment was supplied in a six-week time frame by Frain Industries (Addison IL) a used equipment supplier/refurbisher and line integrator. Consumers peel back the membrane to open the container and then use a friction-fit overcap made of high-density polyethylene to reclose the container.
In making this canister top Sonoco punches a few tiny slits in the foil membrane. Then it uses a pressure-sensitive labeler to apply a Plitek (Des Plaines IL) valve. The valve lets CO2 escape but does not allow oxygen in. That means the coffee can be packaged shortly after roasting for freshness and better flavor. Freshly roasted coffee can't be packaged in metal cans because CO2 given off by the coffee would burst the seams. The coffee is first allowed to gas off for about 12 hours.
Related Sponsored Content
"The valve allows us to immediately pack freshly roasted and ground coffee without waiting for the coffee to gas off" says Dick Prusha director of marketing for Eight O'Clock. A different but comparable valve is used for the firm's 12-oz flexible pouches for whole-bean coffee sold in convenience stores. But marketers at Eight O'Clock felt the Sonoco canister was more appropriate than a pouch for the very different supermarket setting and the Plitek valve is the one Sonoco has most experience with for can ends.
Bright appealing labels are applied by Eight O'Clock in the Landover plant. Supplied by Mail-Well (Denver CO) the labels are 45-lb metallized paper printed offset in six colors plus UV coating for gloss. Though only two coffee varieties are involved in the current six- month test labels for six other varieties are already printed. That's how confident Eight O'Clock is about its new item for the supermarket trade.

The Federation of Chinese Associations Malaysia or popularly known as Huazong describes the decision by Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak to repeal the Internal Security Act (ISA) as a correct decision that complies with the current development in the country and the world.
Inspector-General of Police Tan SriIsmail Omar perceived the government's decision to repeal certain acts and review the preventive laws as protecting the people's interests and well being.
Home Minister Datuk Seri Hishammuddin Tun Hussein regarded the abolition of the Internal Security Act (ISA) 1960, which was announced by the Prime Minister yesterday, as a journey of the country's transformation.
Although PAS welcomed the abolition of the Internal Security Act (ISA), it will wait for the two new replacement Acts to see if they will be the same as ISA, said PAS deputy president Mohammad Sabu.
The government's decision to abolish the Internal Security Act (ISA) is seen as a major change in the country's law and security situation.
Singapore on Friday defended a tough security law allowing for detention without trial despite neighbouring Malaysia's plans to abolish similar legislation.
Malaysia's government must flesh out its plan to overhaul oppressive security laws before a victory for human rights can be declared, opposition figures and activists said Friday.
Former Minister Datuk Mohd Zaid Ibrahim today apologised to Datuk Seri Najib Tun Razak because he had thought the Prime Minister incapable of doing "something big" like repealing the Internal Security Act.
The Malaysian Human Rights Commission (Suhakam) has hailed the move by the prime minister to abolish the Internal Security Act (ISA) but said that it wanted to see the government's "continued and unabated commitment" towards the protection and promotion of human rights.
The Malaysian Council of Former Elected Representatives (Mubarak) proposed for the new law replacing the abolished Internal Security Act (ISA) of 1960 to retain a similar structure to handle extremism and sensitive issues which may pose a threat to national security, said its President Datuk Seri Abdul Aziz Abdul Rahman.

TravelPod Member ReviewsJasmine Lodge Siem Reap
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
We chose this place as it seemed to have helpful tour information, breakfasts included and a pool. Unfortunately, we were situated at a sattelite location and had walk to enjoy any of these features. The restaurant was VERY busy in the mornings and almost impossible to move in. There was also construction going on in our building so we had noise all during the day. Staff could offer advise, but you needed to enquire. Posted tours seemed VERY expensive.
Also, they advertized that they would collect from airport, bus station or boat drop off, but when I contacted them about this, they said the boat was too difficult and would not come and get us.
Our online booking was lost, but we were able to rectify the situation.
May have been a different review if we'd been situated in the main area. Otherwise, our room was comfortable and we enjoyed hot water and TV. Fresh towels every day.
This review is the subjective opinion of a TravelPod member and not of TravelPod.com.
I loved this little hotel. It was a perfect base to explore Siem Ream and the temples from. The owner is really friendly and does a lot of work helping out poor children from the surrounding countryside. In return for working in his Guesthouse, he pays them through school, feeds them and provides them with accommodation. He also gives them a small wage to send home to their families.
I also got ill when I was in Siem Reap. The Jasmine Lodge went out their way to make sure I always had a room and anything else I needed. I would 100% recommend this place and would definitely go back.

I'm a firm believer in giving back to your community – both as individuals and as a corporation. I think we should all take some time to volunteer and help others. This week, the entire Offers.com staff participated in our eighth annual Habitat for Humanity event, split up between two days on May 1st and 2nd, and as always I went home feeling rewarded (not to mention exhausted from digging all those holes for fence posts). The team, which was eager to help out and do their best, had similar feelings as well.
When we first looked for a charity that we could support as an organization, it was important that it meshed with what we are about. We chose Habitat for Humanity, which builds affordable homes for low-income families all over the world. Habitat is a perfect fit with Offers.com and what we stand for. It helps those in need, but only if they are willing to work just as hard as the volunteers. The recipients of the homes are required to volunteer 300 hours of their own time towards the project. Families must also actually purchase the homes themselves through no-interest loans. When you think about it, Habitat families are in essence getting a great deal on a house, and the driving force behind Offers.com is to help consumers find great deals. It's a perfect fit.
Companies can also get involved at a much deeper level than just volunteering their time. Samson notes that many companies start out by doing a Team Habitat Day and that will often grow into a full house sponsorship. "The investment for a corporation to partner with Austin Habitat and build a new home for a deserving family ranges from $65,000 – $80,000," Samson said. "The company is then given the opportunity to bring out 20 volunteers per day over the building period."
Take a look at these fun photos from the Offers.com Habitat adventure, and visit Habitat for Humanity to see how you can get involved.

Originally written on BroncoTalk | Last updated 10/31/12
(Image courtesy of Jeffrey Beall) Following the Denver Broncos' 34-14 win over the New Orleans Saints last week, the NFL informed the team on Wednesday that outside linebacker Wesley Woodyard has been named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week. Additionally, the offensive line has received the Madden Most Valuable Protectors Award for Week 8. Against the Saints, Woodyard became just the ninth player since sacks began to be tracked in 1982 to record at least 10 tackles, one sack, one interception and one forced fumble in the same game. Meanwhile, the offensive line allowed zero sacks and helped running back Willis McGahee rush for 122 yards and a score. Quarterback Peyton Manning is also in the voting to be named the FedEx Air Player of the Week. Fans can vote for Manning at NFL.com/FedEx. On the team's injury front, the entire roster was on the field for practice Wednesday morning, including cornerback Tracy Porter (illness). With a Week 9 match against the Bengals on deck, the team is close to full strength. Congrats to Woodyard and the offensive line for the well-deserved awards. Bring on Cincinnati!

PRLog - May 18, 2010 - KRAKOW, Poland -- The international trade show ANGA Cable in Cologne is a barometer of the economic situation in the TV market (televisions and cooperating devices, TV distribution systems). Among other things, the exhibitors present satellite receivers, transmission cables, equipment for cable and SMATV systems.
ANGA trade fair 2010
The event is aimed at specialists - including a relatively narrow section of the telecommunications market it does not belong to the greatest shows in terms of numbers of exhibitors and visitors.
This year, however, the fair was quite unique. While the flagship trade fair in IT and telecommunications - CeBIT in Hannover - saw a decline in the number of exhibitors and visitors, Anga Cable Show held in Cologne between May 3 and 5 observed a surprising increase in both numbers. The number of visitors increased by about 10% (15000), and the number of exhibitors - approximately 5% (395 stands).
Why did it happen?
Reception and transmission of television signals is on the brink of a boom associated with the change of technology. The presentation of DVB-C2 standard - extending the transmission capacity in cable TV networks - has completed the development of the second-generation digital broadcasting systems (after the earlier adopted and implemented satellite DVB-S2 and terrestrial DVB-T2 standards).
The public interest in the transmission and reception of programs in the second - generation standards is enormous, because they are designed to convey high-definition video - HDTV. In the field of HDTV, the European market is lagging behind American and Asiatic markets, so the natural attempt to catch up with the global competitors. The new standards require the preparation of new receivers, so it was the first reason for the increased interest in fair offers.
Another new technology is 3D TV. Strong consumer interest in 3D imaging promotes rapid expansion in this area. At the fair, Astra satellite operator in cooperation with Samsung presented a three-dimensional satellite channel - Demo3D (23.5E). Preparing equipment for the reception and distribution of signals in 3D technology is therefore the next challenge in this field.
Many experts believe that we face a fundamental change in the way of television broadcasting. In this respect, a great future is forecast for IPTV. Distributed in computer networks, having greater capacity to implement interactive services (choice of content, shopping opportunities, etc.), IP television was the next reason for the optimism at Anga Cable 2010.
During the conference, the participants discussed the perspectives of DOCSIS 3.0 allowing cable television networks to transfer data to each subscriber at speeds over 100 Mb/s. Such transfers enable efficient transmission of multimedia and allow to build cable television systems suitable for providing high quality Triple Play services (television, telephony, Internet). The TV channels can be available in IP version.
Popularization of the technologies mentioned above promises a good time for producers. It also increases the potential of broadcasters, providing opportunity to introduce new services and to expand into new markets. The only drawback of this revolution is the fact that consumers will have to pay a lot of money for almost complete replacement of their equipment ...
The most popular stands were those demonstrating 3D HDTV. Anyone willing could find out what it exactly meant. Three-dimensional TV, whose popularity is increasing gradually from CES in Las Vegas (January 2010), is the hit of the year. What is important, the viewers at ANGA could see not only specially prepared three-dimensional animation. Everyone could see how it was to watch 3D basketball game, music concert, or downhill skier (images captured from his perspective)
Many equipment manufacturers presented complete signal distribution systems using modern headends converting signals from any DVB standard into IP packet transmission. There were shown solutions for transmission of IP datagrams in Ethernet, xDSL, and coaxial cable installations.

MONDAY, Aug. 25 (HealthDay News) -- Breast-feeding moms who take medicines containing codeine may be unwittingly risking the health of their infant, new Canadian research suggests.
The study indicates that a relatively rare genetic predisposition causes some women to metabolize codeine-laced drugs into morphine far faster than normal -- possibly harming the infant's central nervous system in the process.
In such cases, the threat of a morphine overdose appears to be reversible if the woman stops taking the medication. However, for mothers with the genetic vulnerability, the unabated ingestion of codeine and gradual build-up of morphine in a baby's system can prompt extreme sleepiness, abnormal breathing, and even death, the researchers warned.
The finding echoes a public health advisory issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2007.
"Codeine itself doesn't have any pain-relieving effects, but our body changes it into morphine, and that's what combats the pain," explained study author Parvaz Madadi, a doctoral candidate in the department of physiology and pharmacology at the University of Western Ontario, in Canada.
"The problem is that your genetic makeup makes more or less of it," she noted. "So this is where the risk lies, because you can't know in advance what that predisposition would be, unless you would do a genetic test, which is not standard routine at this point. So while it would not be a problem in all cases, I would say that codeine cannot be considered a safe drug for some mothers who are breast-feeding their infants."
Madadi and a team of Canadian researchers published the findings in the Aug. 20 online issue of Clinical Pharmacology & Therapeutics.
The study authors pointed out that pain-relief medications are commonly prescribed for new mothers, given that almost half of all babies are delivered by either Caesarean section or episiotomy.
Given that the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends codeine as "compatible" with breast-feeding, and given that an estimated 80 percent of North American mothers breast-feed, Madadi and her colleagues calculate that upwards of 40 percent of all new mothers may be breast-feeding while consuming codeine for post-delivery pain.
Among that group, the researchers noted that between 1 percent and 10 percent of mothers with white European ancestry appear to have the risky genetic variant that causes morphine overproduction. Prior research indicates that the figure might be higher for other ethnicities.
Madadi noted that the current research effort was launched following the death of a Canadian infant due to the excessive ingestion -- following 12 days of breast-feeding -- of codeine-produced morphine.
In that instance, the mother, who was prescribed codeine-containing painkillers following an episiotomy, was later found to have the problematic genotype.
To explore the issue, the research team analyzed DNA samples collected from 72 mothers across Canada who consumed post-delivery codeine between 2004 and 2007. All the women also participated in a telephone survey to gauge the health of the mother and the central nervous system of the child -- both before, during and after codeine consumption.
Nearly one-quarter of the infants exhibited some central nervous system depression -- manifested by reduced alertness -- while breast-feeding during maternal codeine ingestion.

What Is HER2-Positive Breast Cancer?
About 1 of every 5 of breast cancers are HER2-positive. That means the cancer cells have more of the protein HER2/neu. These cells grow and spread faster than the ones with normal levels of the protein.
Even though this form of cancer is more aggressive than other types, there are treatments that can help.
Your doctor will test your cancer to find out if it's HER2-positive. Then you'll work together to come up with a treatment plan that's best for you.
Researchers aren't sure what causes breast cancer. They think it may be a combination of things, including your genes, environment, and lifestyle. Every case is different.
Genes don't play the same role in this type of cancer as with other kinds. You can't inherit a bad copy of this gene from a parent, and you won't pass it on to your children.
The most common warning sign of any type of breast cancer is a lump in your breast that feels different from the area around it.
Other symptoms include:
- Breast swelling
- Change in its shape
- Skin irritation or dimpling
- Pain in the breast or nipple
- Redness or thickness of the nipple or breast skin
- Discharge from the nipple (not breast milk)
You may have noticed a difference in your breasts during a self-exam. Or you may have had a mammogram that showed the cancer.
Getting a Diagnosis
When you're diagnosed with breast cancer, your doctor will check to see if you have HER2. He'll probably give you one or more of these four tests.
The IHC test (immunohistochemistry) looks for how much HER2 protein is in a sample of breast cancer tissue.
Three other tests check to see if there are too many HER2 genes in the cancer cells:
- FISH test (fluorescence in-situ hybridization)
- SPOT-Light HER2 CISH test (subtraction probe technology chromogenic in-situ hybridization)
- Inform HER2 Dual ISH test (inform dual in-situ hybridization)
Sometimes the results of one test aren't clear. If that happens, your doctor may order another type.

safe area -comfort just like home - lots of medical friends stay at Staybridge Durham
Quiet, clean, friendly, and tolerant
July 03, 2015
This hotel is one of the best we've stayed at. The staff are wonderfully attentive and friendly. The suite is roomy and the kitchenette is fully equipped. The pillows could be replaced, but we've come to expect lumpy pillows in most hotels. Otherwise, no complaints. Also, they still accommodate smokers, so that makes it perfect for us.
Very Disappointed
July 02, 2015
We had previously stayed at Staybridge in Durham, NC on a couple other occassions and had a great experience, but not this time..... Our room was infested with worms! We went to the front desk and while they were very apologetic and moved us to another room and gave us a 10% discount on the room I think our room should have been 50% off if not completely free.
