JOHNNY CASH: THE LIFE Author Robert Hilburn Set for Book Signing at Laguna Playhouse, 1/18
The Laguna Playhouse will welcome local author Robert Hilburn, author of Johnny Cash: The Life, on Saturday, January 18, at 1 PM and 6:30 PM.
Hilburn is appearing in conjunction with The Laguna Playhouse production of the musical RING OF FIRE, which features close to 30 of Cash's most well-loved songs. Hilburn will speak about his book, answer questions, and sign books. There is no charge for this event, which is free with the purchase of a ticket to the 2 PM matinee or 7:30 PM evening performance of RING OF FIRE. This event is co-sponsored by Laguna Beach Books.
As music critic for the Los Angeles Times, Hilburn knew Cash well throughout his life. Hilburn was the only music journalist at the legendary Folsom Prison concert in 1968, and he interviewed Cash extensively before Cash's death in 2003. Drawing upon his personal experience with Cash and a trove of never-before seen material from the singer's inner circle, Hilburn gives us a compelling, human portrait of one of the most iconic figures in modern popular culture -- not only a towering figure in country music, but also a seminal influence in rock. About Robert Hilburn:
Robert Hilburn was a music critic and pop music editor for the Los Angeles Times for more than three decades, and has reported extensively on pop music legends, including Elton John, Bono, Michael Jackson, John Lennon, and Johnny Cash.

At the UN General Assembly in September, actress Emma Watson, known worldwide for her role as Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter series, gave a speech that has now received over one million views on youtube. Her campaign HeforShe targets men specifically and asks them to be partners in decreasing gender discrimination.
Engaging men to champion women and girls' rights is a key component of BRAC's education programming in Afghanistan. In rural areas, girls' access to education is less than any other country in the world. Sixty percent of the country's 4.2 million children out of school are girls. BRAC schools in Afghanistan currently have 9,877 boys and 110,770 girls enrolled, with both male and female program staff and teachers, and engages with both parents as part of a concerted effort to decrease gender discrimination in schools. In the coming school year, with your help, BRAC will expand its programming to two new provinces, trailblazing the way for girls, with male community leaders and fathers as partners.
This photo of Ruth Grey was taken in April at a feed mill in Buchanon where workers sort out rocks from the maize before it's ground into chicken feed. Although Ebola has been catastrophic in Liberia, as of this report the mill was found in good condition. Read more below about how BRAC's projects are adapting.
The Ebola outbreak in Liberia has been catastrophic, putting a severe strain on an already over-burdened and under-resourced national health care system. BRAC staff were some of the first responders, distributing disinfectant, and chlorine as well as providing educational materials such as flyers, posters, and broadcasting radio jingles about preventative practices. Global Giving donors were instrumental in supporting these efforts. To find out more about how we are combating Ebola, see the links below.
Due to travel bans and restrictions on public gatherings, BRAC was forced to temporarily halt its programming, including hatchery operations, in August. Our offices reopened in September and programs are being modified and adjusting to new government restrictions. Luckily, BRAC offices, residences, poultry and seed farms have been found in good condition, although marketplaces are not yet operating as usual.
Travel bans, disruptions in trade and closed markets have led to severe food shortages across West Africa, but particularly in Liberia where rice production decreased by 10 percent this year. BRAC is working with local partners to distribute supplies and mobilize its existing resources to reach communities in need. Knowing that ending the current crisis will take significant resources and a coordinated response, BRAC has partnered with other organizations in the Ebola Survival Fund. See the links below for more information.
BRAC asks that you send your thoughts out to the families of farmers, microfinance officers, community health promoters, mentors, staff, and volunteers who have lost their lives to this deadly disease.
The Ebola outbreak in West Africa has further strained under-resourced and over-burdened healthcare systems in Liberia and Sierra Leone. In response, BRAC has mobilized its network on the ground to educate the public, distribute sanitation materials and food supplies, and work with partners to strategically combat the spread of this deadly disease.
Thanks to support from GlobalGiving donors and match-funding partners, BRAC provided first-response in June when local offices requested emergency funding for educational posters, flyers, radio jingles, as well as materials including chlorine, disinfectant, and sterile gloves to distribute from local branch offices. BRAC's community health promoters – funded by this project and present in both Liberia and Sierra Leone – have played a key role in their communities by raising awareness and distributing materials where possible. However, because of travel bans and restrictions on public gatherings, BRAC's regular programs, including this maternal health project, were put on hold in August. Offices reopened in September and programs are being modified, adapting to new restrictions.
BRAC's first priority is fighting the spread of Ebola, channeling its efforts to train and support local leaders including its 2,400 community health promoters, 900 paid staff and thousands of microfinance village heads. BRAC Country representatives are working closely with the UN and local government to coordinate efforts where they're needed most – specifically targeting women and girls who are especially vulnerable. BRAC is also cognizant of the long-term economic impact of the disease in West Africa – the World Bank estimates a $32.6 billion net loss in the next two years – and is raising funds through this project and others to support the country in rebuilding its health, education, and microfinance sectors.
Knowing that ending the current crisis will take significant resources and a coordinated response, BRAC has partnered with other organizations in the Ebola Survival Fund. See the links below for more information.
BRAC asks that you send your thoughts out to the families of community health promoters, mentors, staff, and volunteers who have lost their lives combatting this deadly disease.

Basell's Process Chosen For Venezuela LDPE Plant
April 18, 2007 | Chemical Week Editorial Staff
Basell says its Lupotech T technology has been selected by Poliolefinas Internacionales, an affiliate of Petroquímica de Venezuela and a group of private shareholders, for a low-density polyethylene (LDPE) project at Maracaibo, Venezuela. The 300,000-m.t./year plant is expected to start operating in 2011. It will be the first high-pressure LDPE plant to be built in the Americas in over a decade, says Just Jansz, president of Basell Technology.

Praia mare and Maratea and Fagnano gym
Today we went to Praia A Mare. It's roughly a 2 hour drive from Fagnano Castello up the coast.
We hire beach umbrellas and beach chairs till early afternoon and relax and swim in the beautiful ocean. Praia A Mare also has a blue grotto where you can either take a tour for €5 per person or hire paddle boats like we did for €12 per person and oddly yourself there and jump in for a swim.

Arizona Cardinals
Carson Palmer jumps four spots in Ron Jaworski's QB rankings
Take away the interceptions, and Arizona Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer hasn't been all that bad this season.
He's on the precipice of surmounting 2,000 yards on the season, currently having thrown for 1,913 yards through eight games, and he has 10 touchdowns to boot.
But his issue this season is glaring — his 14 interceptions have significantly injured his overall performance. Only the New York Giants' Eli Manning has thrown more picks through the first eight weeks of the season, having thrown 15.
Each week, ESPN's Ron Jaworski ranks the league's quarterbacks and this week Palmer came in at No. 19 — up four spots from last week's ranking of No. 23.
Note: ESPN Insider subscription required to access above link.
Not surprisingly, the Denver Broncos' Peyton Manning took Jaworski's top spot while Case Keenum of the Houston Texans, the team the Cardinals play next, in Week 10, took No. 32.
Jaworski explains Palmer's jump thusly:
Palmer played better in the win over Atlanta, with his 78.1 QBR mark the highest since he notched a 79.3 score to open the season. That said, the biggest cause for his rise might be the plethora of new (or relatively new) QBs in the lower ranks.
Palmer completed 13 of his 18 passes in Week 8 against the Atlanta Falcons, throwing two touchdowns to one interception with an improved QBR of 78.1.
He is currently 13th among NFL quarterbacks in passing yards this season, 15th in completion percentage, 14th in touchdowns and 17th in yards per game.

More On Legal & Compliancefrom The Advisor's Professional Library
- Conducting Due Diligence of Sub-Advisors and Third-Party Advisors Engaging in due-diligence of sub-advisors isnt just a recommended best practice it is part of the fiduciary obligation to a client. An RIA should be extremely reluctant to enter a relationship with a sub-advisor who claims the firms strategy is proprietary.
- Client Commission Practices and Soft Dollars RIAs should always evaluate whether the products and services they receive from broker-dealers are appropriate. The SEC suggested that an RIAs failure to stay within the scope of the Section 28(e) safe harbor may violate the advisors fiduciary duty to clients, so RIAs must evaluate their soft dollar relationships on a regular basis to ensure they are disclosed properly and that they do not negatively impact the best execution of clients transactions.
A poll by SEI Advisor Network released Thursday finds that many advisors believe recently enacted and proposed reforms will demand as up to 10 hours of their time each month.
The Dodd-Frank reforms, proposed changes to 12(b)1 fees and advisor disclosure forms are expected to require from three to 10 hours of work a month, according to 44% of advisors surveyed. And 33% believe the reforms will take one to three hours a month.
When asked which reforms, either proposed or made into law, would most impact their business, nearly 40% of advisors said the Dodd-Frank changes, and 30% said possible changes to 12(b)1 fees.
The vast majority, 76%, do not believe they need to change from federal to state registration. And 75% say they are not planning to move C shares or funds with high 12(b)1 fees into fee-based accounts.
SEI Advisor Network interviewed 100 advisors in early September about financial reform. The group is part of SEI, a outsourcing partner for advisors and organizations looking for asset-management, back-office and other turnkey services.
In late July, SEI found that a majority of financial advisors were unfamiliar with many of the details surrounding financial reform and its potential impact on their business and clients.
"Given the volume and pace of information concerning regulatory reform, it is not surprising that financial advisors are not completely up to speed on the reform in its various stages," said Wayne Withrow, SEI executive vice president and leader of the SEI Advisor Network in a statement. "It's our observation that this isn't due to a lack of interest, but rather a lack of time."

No one wants to have a car accident, but accidents can happen to
anyone, so we protect ourselves and others with automobile liability
insurance. One aspect of auto insurance you may wonder about is
"uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage." Since most states
require every driver to be insured, is this coverage really necessary?
Unfortunately, some drivers ignore the law and drive without insurance.
Others carry only the minimum required, and that may not be enough to
pay for damage to expensive vehicles, or to cover the costs of injuries
to you or your passengers. This type of insurance coverage should also
protect you if the other driver is at fault but his insurance company
refuses to pay your legitimate claim.
Another scenario where this coverage is used is in a hit-and-run
accident. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration, one out of eight automobile accidents is a hit-and-run
accident. Although hit-and-run accidents are more likely to cause only
collision damage, you would still be left with a damaged vehicle and
without the option of receiving payment from the other driver's
insurance company.
If you drive a vehicle valued at $50,000, for example, and you are hit
by a driver whose insurance provides coverage up to $25,000 in damages,
your uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage would cover the
difference, up to the limits of liability in your policy. You could
also be the victim of a hit-and-run accident, where there would be no
coverage other than your own policy.
If there are injuries involved, costs can mount quickly, and if the
other driver is uninsured or underinsured, his policy will not cover
all of the costs. Additionally, you may have health insurance to cover
your own medical costs if you are injured, but a passenger riding in
your car may not have health insurance. The uninsured or underinsured
coverage that you carry will at least provide basic care for those
The uninsured or underinsured coverage does not replace collision or
personal injury coverage, but can be an important supplement to protect
you from negligent drivers. Each state has different laws governing
automobile insurance, and each insurance company offers differing
coverage. It is important to discuss your particular needs with a
knowledgeable insurance agent in order to determine what is best for
you and your family.

Donations of graduation gowns?

I'm sure you could donate the high school gowns directly to the high school. They could then offer them to those who may have difficulty paying for one. The same goes for the other ones if you can do it easily - donate it back to the school it came from.

Have you heard about Freecycle? You can freecycle your gowns. Pleasanton freecycle is very active.

The schools probably will not accept the gowns. They do not want to be bothered with a recycling program. I asked a few years back I hope it has changed but I doubt it.
They used to put out a garbage can rather than collect/recycle PE clothes. They also want to sell more PE clothes next year, at a big mark up.

check with some of the local youth ministers...they might have seniors in their youth groups that are in need of a gown. What a nice idea!

I donated my son's graduation gown to Amador right after graduation in June. They were happy to take it. They had a handful already that they save for those who may not be able to afford them next year.

I need some gowns for prison graduation if you still have some.
a resident of Livermore
on Mar 6, 2014 at 2:52 pm
I wonder if the above email is legit? A woman friend of mine once had a prison pen pal and he eventually started asking her money and other freebies.
It's the kind of give away that somebody in prison may try to sell to another prisoner or to cut it up into something else.
NOT! Consider HS students. Students have the greater need.

This is why Whitehall brought forward the date of Independence.
Spectators will gather in London today to view the procession to Parliament from Buckingham Palace in The Mall and Whitehall.
Some senior Whitehall sources believed that there was an early "stiffness" between the Queen and Mrs. Thatcher.
The British government assembled some of the most able bureaucrats in Whitehall to oversee famine relief.
Sniffing Tory conspiracies under every Whitehall bed, ours specially?
We met accordingly; but the weather was rainy; and we went directly to Whitehall.
"You'll be sorry to hear that Whitehall is not very well," said Turpey.
It sounds miraculous to those who know the ways of Whitehall.
"And there is one more thing, Mr. Detective, sir," said Whitehall explosively.
His host was careful or we would invite Whistler to us if anybody was expected at Whitehall Court.

Certainly the modern small kilt with the sewn-in pleats is out of period for
the SCA - I believe it's an 18th century invention. There is some debate
whether the great kilt, a length of cloth laid out, pleated, and held in place
with a belt, has some antecedents in period. There is a good bit of
information on Scottish clothing on these websites:

Some cultures in history tend towards clean-shaven, some towards beards,
some both. I THINK the Scottish tended towards beards, particularly
highlanders, but I am not sure. Certainly my clan chief wears quite a full beard, and
there are lots of men in the SCA who do as well.
<< Also (while I'm

While corrective lenses did come into use in the 13th century, the early
ones were hand held, or possibly able to perch on the bridge of the nose if you
kept quite still. Eyeglasses with ear pieces as we think of came along a
good bit later. I used to have a link to a webpage that showed historical
eyeglass styles, but I can't find it anymore. That said, lots of SCA folk wear
modern glasses; I do myself. While it's possible to get an optometrist to set
your lenses into period or at least historical frames, I do 12th century, so
there is no such thing as a period frame for me. My way of dealing with it
is to get the thinnest, least visible frames I can and add a slight tan tint
to the lenses, which makes them less visible as well. I've had people tell me
that they don't notice them when I'm in garb. And I'm probably one of the
most authentically-minded people on this list. I'd love to be able to do
contacts or lasik, but my eyes don't tolerate the first and I can't afford the

5.0 stars 25 totalReview Paul Hanson
Posted by Chris
Whatever he tells you will help your case, do it. Don't put it off, make it your priority. Meet with someone? Do it. Start going to support groups? It's in your best interest. Eat Victoria sponge cake? Trust him, he's telling you for a reason that will help your case.
I did exactly as he suggested and everything turned out fantastic. Better than I could have reasonably hoped for.
Posted by hoyt ogle
Paul did me solid when I had some legal issues in the god forbidden Lynnwood municipal court where judge Moore is as delightful and polite as a crocodile with a toothache, and the prosecution family of the Zachers take their their petty responsibility of handling minor, MINOR crimes to whole new level of laughable seriousness. If you're stuck in that hole you need a guy like Paul on your side because the term public pretender is an overstatement when you go with a court appointed attorney. Paul will answer your calls, keep you updated on your case, he even looked into things that I had going on in other counties that i didn't pay him for, bottom line good guy and very professional fair price you just have to have it all before he'll go to bat for you, and thats understandable if you have the money call Paul
Posted by Steve
Paul did a great job helping me to get my deferred prosecution! And helped me to get confiscated firearms back! He was patient and did an excellent job. Would highly recommend!!

Mr. Hanson was my attorney for my only tussle with the law in my life to date. I was terrified and inexperienced, and knew I was in over my head. I hired Mr. Hansen and the process was smoothe as breathing from there on out. He takes amazing care of his clients, and will show you the way home from the jungles of legality.
Posted by Don
Mr. Hansen took all the stress out of the situation, and he ended up getting my case dismissed. He kept me informed, and explained things well. The judge even told me "Your attorney took good care of you".
Posted by Selam
Attorney Paul Hanson is a wonderful lawyer. He listens and understands situations very well. Provides excellent clarification of unique situations in a simple manner. He walks me through my legal issues step by step. It was helpful on every step of the way.
I had a car accident situation. I was hurt and needed medical attention for few years. He took my case and did a consistent follow up till I settled the expenses for my medical bills, work compensation and pain and suffering reimbursement.
I highly recommend. He is very nice, knowledgeable, respectful, punctual, non-judgmental and available at any time.
Posted by Jason
Paul is great to work with.I chose him because I thought he would have a good repore with the Judge and prosecutors. He did. He told me he would proceed any way I wanted to. You don't hear that to often. We followed his advise, which led to a dismissal of both my charges. His office is high end, easy to get to, and lots of parking. His prices are a bit lower than you would expect.
I don't plan on being back in the court system, but if I do. I will definetly have Paul at my side.
Posted by a client
Paul handled my speeding ticket several years ago, so when I was rear ended last fall with both of my kids in the car he was the first attorney I thought of to go to. After months of doctor, chiropractic and massage appointments I was ready to settle and be done with this. Paul was very helpful and kept me informed during the entire process. He was able to get me and my kids several thousand dollars more than I had even hoped for!! I am very happy I used Paul.
Posted by js
Paul handled my assault 4 case very well and ended up in a dismissal. He is very knowledgeable, caring, and trustworthy person. If you want a good and responsive attorney, call Hanson. He even helped me get this history expunged from my record.
Posted by George
Paul Hanson was extremely professional in the circumstance I got myself into. I was very pleased with the outcome of the court and how smoothly Paul took care of the issues for me with ease on my part. I have an extremely busy schedule and Paul worked very vigorously to make sure that everything fell in perfectly with my schedule. My circumstance could have easily gone a different way but because of Paul and his extensive knowledge with the subject and his background it was in my favor on all charges I was facing. I highly recommend Paul to anyone facing any type of criminal charge or DOL charge. Every possible outcome was explained to me in great detail and he helped me immensely make my decision in which route to take my case. Paul Hanson comes highly recommended from me and was also recommended to me by 3 other people who I personally know very well and trust.

This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 862,138, filed May 12, 1986, now abandoned.
1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to an improved packing element designed for use in completion and production operations of oil and gas wells wherein the expandable element is coated against exposure to hydrocarbons at elevated temperatures which prevents the element from unduly distending or elongating prior to its being sealed within the well bore.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Typically, expandable packing elements such as plug assemblies, bridge plugs, drillable packers, inflatable packers, and rotational locking sealing packers are used in subterranean wells in combination with various types of packer assemblies which are selectively located within a well casing in order to isolate one or more of the production zones of the well. Such packing elements are mounted within a packer assembly at the well head and the entire unit is run down into the well casing and secured at a selected location along the casing, normally adjacent production formations. When it is desired to operate the packer assembly to release a sealing plug or distend a packing element, a tubing string having a suitable actuator attached to its lower end is run down into the well casing to contact the plug or packing assembly, normally by applying sufficient downward force to the plug or packer assembly, the plug becomes disengaged from the packer assembly and free falls to the bottom of the well, such as in the form of an expendable plug, or the packer assembly is operated to distend the packing element radially to seal a well annulus, for example.
During the movement of tubing into the lowermost extremities of tuhe well, the sealing elements of packer apparatus during completion and production operations are subjected to high temperature and high pressure in oil and gas wells which has caused preliminary damage or deterioration of the sealing systems which utilize elastomeric packing elements. Damage to such elements has become a greater problem during present day intensive searching for new oil and gas reserves wherein the drilling and subsequent completion is being effected in deeper wells involving greater exposure to extremely hostile, high temperature environments where the well production may contain not only the desired hydrocarbons but significant amounts of hydrogen sulfide, carbon dioxide and methane, all of which are detrimental to elastomeric materials at elevated temperatures.
To overcome these conditions and successfully complete such a well the packer apparatus, including its elastomeric expandable packing element, must be capable of continuous sealing integrity and must be protected from damage from the aforesaid adverse environment prior to its sealing disposition in the desired location. The packing element must be resistant to the well environment, i.e. temperature, pressure, well fluids, and the like, but also to physical stresses imposed on the packing assembly during or resulting from completion or workover procedures.
One type of prior art seal system is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 2,862,563 illustrating a well packer apparatus for packing the annular space between tubing in a well wherein resilient annular packing elements are spaced about a tubular mandrel. U.S. Pat. No. 3,083,785 discloses the use of a formation packer in which a plurality of resilient annular packing elements are spaced about a tubular mandrel and a plurality of folded metal plates are mounted on a double traveling mandrel. U.S. Pat. No. 3,531,236 discloses a tubular sealing assembly utilizing chevron-shaped sealing rings formed from a fluoroelastomer and asbestos with a fluorocarbon plastic ring adapters at each end of the seal stack. U.S. Pat. No. 2,467,822 discloses the use of a rubber or similar packing material which is prevented from flowing through the opening between the packer body and the packing retainer or abutment surrounding the body.
The prior art also discloses a number of generic sealing systems having utility in the sealing of a well conduit. U.S. Pat. No. 3,467,394 discloses a packing element of a V-ring type wherein the packing arrangement comprises a polytetrafluoroethylene commonly sold under the trademark "Teflon" with relatively rigid V-ring shaped spacer rings interposed between a plurality of elastomeric V-rings. Also U.S. Pat. No. 4,050,701 discloses ring seals obtained from a mixture of polyphenylene sulfide and polytetrafluoroethylene for use in the fluid sealing of rotary or reciprocating shafts. Additionally, U.S. Pat. No. 3,626,337 discloses a packing ring for use in high temperature and high pressure environments wherein the thermoplastic type composition, such as rubberized nylon, tetrafluoroethylene polyesters, acrylics and the like, are laminated to form a composite sealing material. U.S. Pat. No. 3,799,454 discloses a coating composition containing polytetrafluoroethylene and polyethylene sulfide for formation of a seal system.
In general, the sealing systems of the prior art have not been totally satisfactory for use in modern-day wells having high bottom hole temperatures and pressures as well as containing corrosive fluids. Various types of newly available elastomeric materials have been utilized in packer seal systems, such elastomeric materials such as polytetrafluoroethylene sold under the trademark "Teflon", a polymer of polyphenylene sulfide sold under the trademark "Ryton", and a perfluoroelastomer sold under the trademark "Kalrez".
Polytetrafluoroethylene is a flexible fluoropolymer having a high degree of permanent set and cold flow exhibiting high resistance to corrosive chemicals and high temperatures. It is frequently used in combination with suitable fillers to improve its properties, especially resistance to high temperatures. Polyphenylene sulfide is a thermoplastic resin which exhibits high thermal stability, excellent chemical resistance, and good affinity for retaining fillers. The perfluoroelastomer is another material characterized by high thermal stability and excellent chemical resistance. All of the aforesaid elastomeric materials have been employed in packer seal systems but not with complete success under all conditions in deeper wells. It has been found that sealing systems which incorporate such elastomeric materials have a definite tendency to adhere or stick to the well conduit when exposed to high temperatures when the sealing system must be retrieved from the well or be relocated to a different position.
Sticking of the seal system which can occur in multiple seal assemblies, for example, is not the only problem inherent with the aforesaid elastomers, but ease of fabrication and expense require that the elastomer material be one capable of resisting both steam and hydrocarbons when used in both geothermal and hydrocarbon wells without undue swelling or elongation of the material prior to its controlled expansion or distension into sealing relation. In some cases the running in of the packer assembly may require periods as long as 24 hours and the packing element may be subjected to temperatures ranging from 0� to 600� F. Longer time periods may occasionally be required where the packer assembly must be capable of withstanding several trips into the well prior to setting the packing element.
The present invention relates to a method for achieving a seal by an improved packing element preferably comprised of an ethylene-propylene diene monomer (EPDM) which has been found to be highly desirable for use in both geothermal and hydrocarbon wells. The EPDM elastomer has been found to be capable of withstanding geothermal brine at 500� F. containing 300 ppm hydrogen sulfide, 1,000 ppm carbon dioxide and 25,000 ppm sodium chloride in aqueous solution for 24 hours. The base elastomeric material comprises the body member the packing element and is coated with a more highly hydrocarbon resistant coating material which is capable of protecting its exposed surfaces prior to setting of the packer. The subject packing element is characterized by its ability to withstand hostile environments which have high pressures and high temperatures, corrosive chemicals, including both liquids and gases.
The subject packing element comprises a sleeve-like resilient expandable body member having a generally cylindrical exterior surface adapted to seal tightly against the wellbore or casing, the member preferably being formed of the elastomeric ethylene-propylene diene monomer. A continuous imperforate protective coating, such as a fluorocarbon, polytetrafluoroethylene or silicone rubber, is applied over at least the exterior surfaces of the packing element to provide protection against exposure to hydrocarbons and steam at elevated temperatures for extended periods prior to setting the packing element in the well bore. The coating may be applied over essentially all exposed surfaces of the packing element having a sufficient thickness to provide protection against deleterious effects when exposed to hydrocarbons over the temperature range of about 0� to about 600� F. The EPDM rubber material is one selected as having a low degree of permanent set and cold flow and which is applicable to utilization in unusually severe environments. Such packing element is also capable of withstanding high temperature geothermal brine when utilized in geothermal wells in meeting the requirements of providing good flexibility when used in a wide variety of well packing situations. The impervorate protective coating is selected to become perforate by expansion of the expandable body member.
FIG. 1 is a partially sectionalized elevational view of a packer assembly showing the packing element mounted within a central region.
FIG. 2 is a vertical sectional view of the packing element shown in FIG. 1.
FIG. 3 is a view of the packing element taken along the line 3--3 of FIG. 2.
A high-temperature wireline bridge plug designated by the numeral 10 is shown in FIG. 1. Such bridge plug is representative of many different types of packing assemblies and is shown for illustrating one application of a resilient packing element for sealing a well. The bridge plug has a lengthy tubular body member 11 which is contoured at both ends to facilitate the mounting of a body lock support ring 12 as shown at the upper end. An intermediate threaded body lock ring 13 is threadingly mounted between support ring 12 and body member 11. A shear pin 14 is mounted between support ring 12 and body 11. A slip member 15 is mounted exteriorly between support ring 12 and a cone member 16, the latter being attached by a shear pin 17. A packing ring 18 is mounted intermediate upper cone member 16 and a resilient sleeve-like tubular packing element 20. The packing element has a tubular configuration to closely surround body 12 at a central region. Element 20 has one or more apertures 21 therein, and a cylindrical shape at its central area and frusto-conical contours at its ends complementally shaped to the interiors of upper and lower packing rings 18 and 22. A lower cone 23 is mounted below ring 22, having a shear pin 24 in the same manner as cone 16. A lower slip member 25 is mounted below cone 23 having an O-ring 26 at a lower region between the slip member and the body member. The packing element 20 has an exterior thin coating 20a over all its exterior surfaces, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3. The following description is directed to the resilient packing element of this invention.
In operating the subject bridge plug, the cone members and their adjacent packer rings are forced together to distend the packing element 20 radially into sealing engagement with the well bore or casing.
In the evaluation of various elastomers for use as sealing elements in hydrocarbon producing wells, ethylenepropylene diene monomer rubber (EPDM) when utilized alone has generally been found to offer undesirable characteristics in providing satisfactory performance in the presence of hydrocarbons in deep wells. Various data based on immersion tests have shown that such elastomers generally show extreme swelling and degradation of properties when exposed to the presence of hydrocarbons. In environments wherein EPDM rubber has been evaluated for geothermal and deep hydrocarbon well applications immersion test data have been found to be the preferred test criteria for evaluating elastomers for given applications. Chemical resistance of the elastomer at high temperature has been one of the most important characteristics in evaluating the performance of the material for use in a packing assembly.
As is known, elastomers are usually a relatively weak material and as pressure increases there is an attendant increase in the mechanical stresses which the elastomer must withstand. Further, as the temperature increases the strength of the elastomer decreases significantly, thus rendering it less capable of withstanding higher pressures. Temperatures in the range of 300�-400� F. result in serious decreases in the physical capabilities of rubber which is particularly noted at 300� F. For example, the tensile strengths of many elastomers are only about 15% of their ambient temperature strength values in such temperature range. It has been found that evaluating the elastomers at elevated temperatures and under significant mechanical stresses has been a much more satisfactory procedure in determining their operational capability.
A preferred type of EPDM elastomer is EPDM formulation No. 267 having the following composition:
______________________________________Component Parts______________________________________Nordel 1660 100 phrPolybutadiene #6081 20Statex 160 75Cyanox 2246 0.5Di Cup R 3.5Thermoguard S 5Hypalon 20 5Press Cure 350� F./60 minutesPost Cure N2 atmosphere 350� F. preheat 50� F./hr. step-up to 550� F. started at insertion 550� F. for 5 hrs.______________________________________
The Nordel 1660 is a non-crystalline monomer of ethylene/propylene/diene with a narrow molecular weight distribution and a nominal Mooney viscosity of 60 (ML/121� C.) made by the duPont Company. The Polybutadiene #6081 is a high-vinyl 1,2 polybutadiene resin made by Polysciences, Inc. The Statex 160 is a N110 carbon black per ASTM D1765, Iodine No. 145, DBP No. 113 made by Cities Service Company. Cyanox 22465 is 2,2 methylene(4-methyl-6-t butyl)phenol, Specific gravity 1.09, melting point 130� C., made by American Cyanamid Company. Di Cup R is dicumyl peroxide, 96-99% made by Harwick Chemical Corporation. Thermoguard S is antimony trioxide, 70.3%, made by M & T Chemicals, Inc. The Hypalon 20 is a chlorosulfonated polyethylene 29% chlorine, 1.4% sulfur, specific gravity 1.12 made by the duPont Company. The "phr" units mean per hundred parts of rubber.
Previously, EPDM rubber has generally been eliminated from use in hydrocarbon environments because of its swelling. Swelling of the material prior to its controlled expansion in the case of a packing element indicates its apparent weakness which has heretofore essentially ruled out its application in hydrocarbon environments. The most common occurrence at high temperatures and pressures is for such elastomeric materials to swell prior to its being controllably expanded or radially positioned into sealing relation.
In the present invention it has been found that coating the EPDM rubber packing element 20 with a thin film 20a of a fluorocarbon, polytetrafluorethylene or silicone rubber has been capable of protecting the EPDM material prior to its controlled expansion into sealing relation. Fluorocarbons which are manufactured and sold by the 3M Company under the trademark "Fluorel" brand fluoroelastomers have been found to be especially useful for coating the EPDM rubber. Such fluorocarbons have been previously utilized in applications for forming various types of O-rings, molded packings, oil seals and the like, such materials offering durability in normally hostile environments as well as good chemical resistance. Three types of such fluorocarbons are Product Nos. FC-2120 and FC-2145 and FC-2178 which are designated as Flurorel elastomer gums without incorporated curing. Such products have the following properties which are particularly useful for coating the EPDM rubber:
______________________________________ FC-2120 FC-2145 FC-2178______________________________________Specific Gravity 1.80 1.81 1.82Fluorine % 65 65 65Mooney Viscosity 23 18 120ML (1 + 10) @ 250� F.Tensile, psi 1800 2000 2540Elongation % 220 200 290100% Modulus, psi 675 800 615Hardness 76 73 74Shore ACompression Set % 20 48 51______________________________________
The EPDM rubber may also be coated with a polytetrafluoroethylene polymer such as Teflon made by the DuPont Company. Also Teflon material having a thickness of about 0.030 inch distributed by the Plastic Consulting Manufacturing Company of Camden, N.J., may be utilized for the coating. Also, a silicone rubber material such as Product No. FRV-1106, manufactured by the General Electric Company, or a fluorosilicone rubber may also be utilized for the coating.
The packing element 20 having a generally cylindrical body member is mounted within a packing apparatus 10 such as shown in FIG. 1 of the drawings. The element 20 may be coated with one of the aforesaid coating materials, such as by dipping the packing element into a bath of the coating material or brushing on the material to cover at least the exteriorly exposes surfaces of the packing element. The coating 20a in the form of a thin film preferably having a thickness ranging from about 0.005 to 0.040 inch is employed as a continuous imperforate coating and may extend over essentially all exposed surfaces of the packing element. Test effects of the various coatings on the EPDM rubber packing element have been conducted on a packing element having the configuration shown in FIG. 1. The tests were conducted at 250� F. in kerosene and at atmospheric pressure to evaluate swelling and elongation of the packing element. The coated element has been shown to resist swelling and elongation for extended periods when exposed to 250� F. kerosene for periods of up to 8 hours.
Tests were also conducted using O-rings fabricated of EPDM rubber having a cross-section of 0.209 inch to study swelling in various hydrocarbons. The tests utilized atmospheric pressure and hydrocarbon fluids at 250� F. which has been shown to cause swelling of the uncoated O-rings. The O-rings were measured every 30 minutes for approximately 4 hours, the measurement being conducted by checking the external diameter only. It was shown that diesel oil and kerosene cause severe swelling of the uncoated EPDM while swelling was not as severe when the O-rings were exposed to other hydrocarbons. The coated O-rings were shown to exhibit considerably lesser swelling and elongation than those which were uncoated when exposed to the same hydrocarbon conditions for approximately 4 hours.
Tests were conducted on EPDM rubber in both coated and uncoated condition, the tests being conducted in kerosene at 250� F. and at atmospheric pressure. The uncoated EPDM rubber was shown to swell and elongate in uncoated condition while the aforesaid coatings were shown to markedly resist swelling and elongation for periods of up to 8 hours, and in some cases as long as 24 hours.
The coating of EPDM elastomer has been shown to reduce swelling and elongation of the base material to less than about 15% of its original dimensions on hydrocarbon exposure for up to 24 hours.
In the case of coated packing elements, the coating serves to protect the element from swelling effects when the packing apparatus is run into the well, while exposed to hydrocarbons and other corrosive fluids. When the packing element is expanded and set in the desired sealing location, the coating is disrupted but does not interfere with durable permanent sealing of the packing element. At such time the continuity of the coating is broken, but the element can be seated in its normal manner without loss of sealing integrity.
Although the invention has been described in terms of the specified embodiments which are set forth in detail, it should be understood that this is by illustration only and that the invention is not necessarily limited thereto, since alternative embodiments and operating techniques will become apparent to those skilled in the art in view of the disclosure. Accordingly, modifications are contemplated which can be made without departing from the spirit of the described invention.

I would prefer to have someone local that can work out of our facility for the most part, or at least 3 days a week to see the product first hand etc. We are located in Woodstock, ON Canada.
