Setting tool assembly
A setting tool assembly configured to couple with a part of a workstring, the assembly having an inner housing coupled with one or more other components. A trigger device is coupled with a movable piston. During run-in, the piston is in a first position. Upon activation, the trigger device undergoes an altering event whereby the piston moves to a second position as a result of a pressure acting thereon.

Multi-tooth jaw, torque stopper device and repair kit thereof for preventing rotation of downhole tools suspended in wellbore casing
A multi-tooth jaw for a torque stopper device prevents rotation of downhole tools suspended in a wellbore casing. The jaw includes a base for positioning adjacent an outside wall of the torque stopper and a hinge connection allowing the jaw to pivot around an axis of rotation running lengthwise through the base. The jaw further includes a plurality of radial tips, i.e., teeth, each a different distance from the axis of rotation. When viewed from a side with the axis of rotation being a point around which the jaw pivots, the tips are in ascending order of distance with a first, leading tip having a shortest distance from the axis of rotation as the jaw pivots from a stowed to a deployed position. A torque stopper device with the multi-tooth jaw supports a range of casing internal diameters. A repair kit allows swapping a one-tooth jaw with the multi-tooth jaw.
ACTIVELY CONTROLLED BAILER
A container device for transporting and releasing a plugging material into a well includes a longitudinal chamber for containing the plugging material, the chamber including a tubular wall extending in a longitudinal direction and at least one opening for releasing the plugging material from the chamber; a lower seal extending across the opening and closing the chamber in a closed configuration; a pressure application mechanism provided at an upper portion of the container device for pressurising at least part of the device and expelling the plugging material; and a connector provided at an upper portion of the container device for attaching the container device to an elongate member for lowering into a wellbore.
TUBING ANCHOR GAS VENT AND ASSOCIATED METHODS AND SYSTEMS
A gas vent can include an inner production tube and at least two outer housings. One outer housing is configured to be connected above a tubing anchor, and another outer housing is configured to be connected below the tubing anchor. The inner production tube is configured to extend longitudinally through the tubing anchor. A gas vent system can include an inner production tube which extends longitudinally through a tubing anchor, and an annulus formed between the inner production tube and the tubing anchor. A gas flows through an interior of the tubing anchor via the annulus.
Morphable apparatus
Apparatus and method for securing and sealing a tubular portion to another tubular to provide a liner hanger in oil and gas wells. At the top of the liner string, a sleeve is arranged on the liner to create a chamber therebetween. A port provides fluid access through the liner to the chamber. When fluid is introduced into the chamber the sleeve is morphed to secure it to the cemented casing. A lower fluid pressure is required to morph the sleeve than if the liner itself was to be morphed. Embodiments are provided for securing and sealing arrangements to increase the metal to metal seal and the load capability between the liner string and casing.

Fish retrieval from wellbore
An apparatus includes a housing, engagement slips, a tubular, a taper tap, a pin, and a slip activation member. The housing includes a profile that defines a path including a first end and a second end. The engagement slips are attached to the housing. The tubular passes through an opening of the housing. The taper tap is rotatable and connected to the housing. The pin is connected to the tubular and received by the profile of the housing. The tubular is translatable with respect to the housing based on the pin translating along the path defined by the profile. The slip activation member is connected to the tubular. The slip activation member is configured to move each of the engagement slips radially outward with respect to the housing when the pin translates to the second end of the path.

Oilfield casing centralization tool
An oilfield casing centralization tool allows a user to center the casing to install the casing hanger into the bowl profile of a wellhead to support the weight of the casing which can exceed over one million pounds. The oilfield casing centralization tool includes a push jack assembly, an anchoring jack assembly, and an elongated structural member. The anchoring jack assembly allows a user to fully secure the oilfield casing centralization tool to a bolt hole of the wellhead. With the oilfield casing centralization tool fully secured to the wellhead, the push jack assembly allows a user to push the casing a desired distance in order to center the casing within a wellbore. The elongated structural member serves as a rigid hub for the push jack assembly and the anchoring jack assembly.
