Downhole explosion robot based on planetary roller screw telescoping and traction method thereof
The present invention relates to the technical field of development of underground resources such as petroleum, natural gas, geothermal energy, etc., in particular to a downhole explosion robot based on planetary roller screw telescoping and traction method thereof. The present invention provides a downhole explosion robot based on planetary roller screw telescoping and traction method thereof, comprising a rear joint, a rear main body, a telescopic sub, a front main body, and a front joint, and the rear main body is provided with a rear control sub and a rear support sub; the front main body is provided with a front support sub and a front control sub, and the telescopic sub is respectively connected with the rear support sub and the front support sub. The invention has the advantages of reliability and stability, with less impact on the tube string, and can be applicable to smaller wellbore.
RELEASABLE RATCHET DEVICE
A releasable ratchet device, including a mandrel device with a grooved area and a locking device including locking grooves configured to be engaged with the grooved area of the mandrel device. The releasable ratchet device may be configured to be in a locked state, in which axial movement between the mandrel device and the locking device is allowed in a first direction when the locking device is engaged with the mandrel device and movement between the mandrel device and the locking device is prevented in a second direction opposite of the first direction when the locking device is engaged with the mandrel device. The releasable ratchet device further includes a releasing device configured to bring the releasable ratchet device to a released state, in which axial movement between the mandrel device and the locking device is allowed in both the first direction and the second direction.
Instrumented Multilateral Wellbores and Method of Forming Same
A method of completing a wellbore system that includes a main wellbore and a lateral wellbore intersecting the main wellbore at a junction is disclosed, wherein in one embodiment the method includes placing a first outer assembly below the junction in the main wellbore and placing a second outer assembly below the junction in the lateral wellbore; placing a first inner assembly in the second outer assembly with a top end thereof below the junction, the top end of the first inner assembly including a first wet connect associated with at least one link in the first inner assembly; and connecting a second wet connect of a string with the first wet connect with a top end of the string having a third wet connect corresponding to the at least one link above the junction in the main wellbore.

AUTONOMOUS DOWNHOLE ROBOTIC CONVEYANCE PLATFORM
A modular mobility platform has extendable and retractable tractor treads for engaging the walls of a downhole environment. The extendable and retractable tractor treads allow the platform to successfully navigate longitudinally through the downhole environment. The platform is composed of a plurality of different modules removably interconnected together longitudinally. Each module has at least one specific function, such as sensing, navigation, mobility, control, communication, power, or a combination thereof. The platform has longitudinally-directed detectors for detecting the forward or reverse direction through which the platform is to travel. A front end of the platform having a sensor at the forward end thereof articulates to navigate the mobility platform laterally through splits in the downhole environment. A system and method use the modular mobility platform.
Multi-pressure toe valve
A toe valve having an outer tubular member, including at least one outer flow port, and an inner tubular member positioned at least partially within the outer tubular member and including a central flow passage. An indexing mechanism is positioned within the outer tubular member and there is a flow path allowing fluid pressure from the central passage to act against a first side of the indexing mechanism. A biasing device acts on a second side of the indexing mechanism and the indexing mechanism is configured to allow communication between the central flow passage and the outer flow port after the indexing mechanism is subject to a plurality of pressure cycles within the central flow passage.
ECCENTRIC LINKAGE GRIPPER
A gripper mechanism for a downhole tool is disclosed that includes an eccentric linkage mechanism. In operation, an axial force generated by a power section of the gripper expands the linkage mechanism, which applies a radial force to the interior surface of a wellbore or passage. A sliding portion allows the gripper to slide along a surface of the formation in response to the radial force applied to the interior surface of the wellbore or passage.
Method of Retrieving a Flow Back Jet Pump from an Oil Well
A jet pump assembly is adapted to be releasably attached to a tubular member of a tubular string in an oil well. The jet pump may be pumped out of the tubular string to the surface by a reverse flow of power fluid down the well between the tubular string and the casing of the well. Consequently the jet pump may be serviced or reconfigured to a direct pumping mode without the necessity of a wire line or other apparatus. An attachment tool is provided that attaches to a fishing neck on the jet pump and also includes a plurality of seal cups. The attachment tool includes a rod which is adapted to release a locking mechanism positioned in the jet pump.
