A system includes a deployment device and an adjustable mill. The deployment device has a box end with internal threads. The adjustable mill has a tubular body, a cylinder, and a lock ring. The tubular body has a lateral end and a pin end. The pin end has external threads, the lateral end is partially enveloped by cutters, and the lateral end comprises an inner wall defining an orifice. The cylinder is movably disposed within the orifice. The cylinder is partially enveloped by the cutters. The lock ring is disposed circumferentially around the cylinder. The lock ring interacts with a lock ring seat machined into the inner wall of the lateral end to place the adjustable mill in a mode. The internal threads of the adjustable mill and the external threads of the deployment device interact to form a connection between the adjustable mill and the deployment device.

Systems and methods for cutting objects within a subterranean well include a laser system having a laser drilling head located at a terminal downhole end of a laser tool body directing a head laser beam in a direction downhole. A laser scanner assembly located within the laser tool body has a scanner head directing a scanner laser beam and can move both axially along a length of the laser tool body and rotate around a central axis of the laser tool body. A laser cutter assembly located within the laser tool body has a cutter head directing a cutter laser beam and can rotate around the central axis of the laser tool body. A cable bundle formed of a plurality of fiber optic cables extends from an uphole end of the laser tool body to each of the laser drilling head, the laser scanner assembly, and the laser cutter assembly.

Systems and methods measure one or more rheological properties and/or parameters of a fluid and establish at least one correlation between the measured one or more rheological properties and/or parameters. The systems and methods may correlate the measured one or more rheological properties and/or parameters to static aging results to establish the at least one correlation between the one or more rheological properties and/or parameters of the fluid. The systems and methods may predict at least one sagging tendency of the fluid based on the established at least one correlation and may measure and/or monitor static sagging of the fluid based on the predicted at least one sagging tendency of the fluid. The systems and methods may guide fluid treatment of the fluid or produce a mud system based on the predicted at least one sagging tendency of the fluid.

An engineered composite system designed to be passive or inert under one set of conditions, but becomes active when exposed to a second set of conditions. This system can include a dissolving or disintegrating core, and a surface coating that has higher strength or which only dissolves under certain temperature and pH conditions, or in selected fluids. These reactive materials are useful for oil and gas completions and well stimulation processes, enhanced oil and gas recovery operations, as well as in defensive and mining applications requiring high energy density and good mechanical properties, but which can be stored and used for long periods of time without degradation.

A convertible fishing tool is provided for removing an object (fish) from a wellbore. The fishing tool includes an elongated hollow main housing and a plurality of slip blades that are disposed distal to the main housing and move radially between fully retracted positions and fully extended positions. In the fully retracted positions, the fishing tool is in spear configuration and in the fully extended positions, the fishing tool is in an overshot configuration. The fishing tool also includes an actuation system configured to move the plurality of slip blades in a radial direction between the fully retracted positions and the fully extended positions.

Provided is a downhole vibrating tool comprising an interconnected power section, axial shock assembly and lateral vibration assembly wherein the power section comprising a rotor and a stator, the rotor comprising a plurality of lobes and the stator comprising a second plurality of recesses adapted to receive the plurality of lobes, the number of recesses greater than the number of lobes; the axial shock assembly comprising a valve assembly, the axial shock assembly adapted to vary fluid flow therethrough; and the lateral vibration assembly comprising an eccentric mass; wherein the power section, the axial shock assembly and the lateral vibration assembly are aligned linearly.

A wellbore plug isolation system and method for positioning plugs to isolate fracture zones in a horizontal, vertical, or deviated wellbore is disclosed. The system/method includes a wellbore casing laterally drilled into a hydrocarbon formation, a wellbore setting tool (WST) that sets a large inner diameter (ID) restriction sleeve member (RSM), and a restriction plug element (RPE). The WST is positioned along with the RSM at a desired wellbore location. After the WST sets and seals the RSM, a conforming seating surface (CSS) is formed in the RSM. The CSS is shaped to engage/receive RPE deployed into the wellbore casing. The engaged/seated RPE isolates heel ward and toe ward fluid communication of the RSM to create a fracture zone. The RPE's are removed or left behind prior to initiating well production without the need for a milling procedure. A large ID RSM diminishes flow constriction during oil production.

A downhole robotic fishing tool includes a main body configured to be positioned in a wellbore and an intermediate body connected to a downhole end of the main body by an upper articulating joint. A robotic hand is connected to a downhole end of the intermediate body by a lower articulating joint. The robotic hand is configurable between an open configuration and a closed configuration and includes a palm, a robotic thumb and a robotic finger attached at their respective proximal ends to the palm in opposition. When in the closed configuration, the distal ends of the thumb and finger are within a grasp center area centered on a center point defined by an intersection of a grasping axis and an opposition axis of the robotic hand. A camera is positioned on the palm that has an optical axis that intersects the grasp center area proximate the center point.

This invention relates to a method for recovering a tubular structure (3) from a well (1), wherein a so-called free point is defined as the location where the tubular structure is stuck in the well. The method comprising providing a downhole tool string comprising a pipe-severing tool and an upper part of the downhole tool string; lowering the downhole tool string into the tubular structure to release the free pipe. Before the step of triggering the pipe-severing tool to sever the tubular structure, the method includes releasing the pipe-severing tool and subsequent withdrawing the upper part, of the downhole tool string away from the free point towards the surface over at least a predefined distance. The invention relates to a downhole tool string for use in such method.
