Methods and Apparatus for providing a plug activated by cup and untethered object
20220389789 · 2022-12-08 ·

A plug assembly includes an expandable assembly, a locking ring and a cup. The expandable assembly is adapted to be deformed radially over the locking ring and the cup. The locking ring has a stopping inner surface. The plug assembly is used with one or more untethered objects, the untethered objects having an outer surface adapted to couple with the cup, and the cup having an outer surface adapted to couple with the stopping inner surface of the locking ring. The combination of cup and untethered objects is also adapted to contact an inner surface of the plug assembly and, using well fluid pressure, to apply forces to the plug assembly. The forces cause the longitudinal movement of the cup and untethered objects while contacting the inner surface of the plug assembly until the cup contacts the stopping inner surface of the locking ring.

Downhole ceramic disk rupture by jetting with fluids and solids

Methods and systems are provided removing the functionality of a ceramic disk installed in a wellbore during oil and gas well completion and production activities. More specifically, the disclosure relates to rupturing a ceramic disk with a jet of fluids. The jetting fluid is directed towards the disk with a jetting device lowered into the wellbore. The jetting fluid comprising a fluid with entrained solids.

Systems and methods for opening screen joints

Example systems and methods are described that operate to open screen joints using mechanically-generated perforations for beginning fluid production. In an example system, a screen joint is deployed in a production tubing within a wellbore. The screen joint includes a screen element and a blank housing that are coupled to an exterior surface of a non]perforated base pipe. Further, the screen joint includes a locator profile positioned along an interior surface of the non]perforated base pipe. A perforator is deployed within the screen joint that includes a mechanical perforator and a locator for engaging with the locator profile to position the mechanical perforator under the blank housing.

METHODS OF SEALING POLISHED BORE RECEPTACLES BY LOCALIZED SEALANT INJECTION

A method of sealing one or more leak paths includes positioning an isolation plug in a production tubing. The production tubing is disposed within a wellbore casing assembly, each extending into a subsurface. The wellbore casing assembly includes a production casing. A tubing/casing annulus is disposed between the production casing and the production tubing. The one or more leak paths are fluidly coupled to the production tubing and the tubing/casing annulus and the isolation plug is positioned at a depth location below the one or more leak paths. The method also includes perforating the production tubing at a depth location above the isolation plug to form one or more sealant injection holes fluidly coupling the production tubing and the tubing/casing annulus and directing a sealant into the production tubing such that the sealant enters the tubing/casing annulus through the one or more sealant injection holes.

FLOW ACTIVATED ON-OFF CONTROL SUB FOR PERSEUS CUTTER

A wellbore system includes method of cutting a casing in a wellbore. A string is disposed in the casing, the string including a cutting tool and an activation sub coupled to the cutting tool. The cutting tool includes a ball seat and a cutter. The activation sub includes a control piston disposed therein. The control piston has a ball at an end thereof. The control piston is configured to move within the activation sub to engage the ball to the ball seat when a flow rate of a fluid through the control piston is above a flow rate activation threshold, wherein engaging the ball to the ball seat creates a pressure differential across the ball seat that moves the ball seat to extend the cutter from the cutting tool.

SEPARABLE TOOL WITH MILL FACE, METHOD AND SYSTEM

A separable tool including a mill section, a mill face disposed on the mill section and having a bore therethrough that is offset from a longitudinal axis of the mill section, a tool adapter section, and a release configuration releasably securing the mill section to the tool adapter section with the mill face disposed between the mill section and the tool adapter section. A method for operating a wellbore system including in a single run, setting a plug in the wellbore system, releasing the plug, pumping cement, dressing the cement, and testing the cement.
