MODULAR SIDE POCKET ICD
A retrievable in-flow control device (ICD) including a device body having a first end, a second end, an outer surface extending between the first end and the second end, and an internal flow path. A wireline connector is arranged at the first end. A latch mechanism is provided on one of the wireline connector and the device body. A flow control port extends through the outer surface to the internal flow path. An equalizer member including a first flow path for passing a first fluid and a second flow path for resisting flow of a second fluid. The retrievable ICD also includes a flow control device establishes a selected pressure drop of the first fluid through the retrievable ICD.
Load shoulder system
A system including a load shoulder system, including a shoulder setting tool, including a shoulder coupling system configured to couple to a load shoulder, and a shoulder energizing system configured to couple the load shoulder to a tubular of a mineral extraction system.

LOCKING COLLAR STOP
Disclosed herein is a collar stop configured for insertion into well production tubing where the collar stop provides an interference fit with a collar recess disposed between two adjacent sections of production tubing. The collar stop may be utilized to provide a bottom hole assembly at a desired location in a well bore. The collar stop device is configured to lock once positioned. Such locking prevents accidental removal during high fluid flows.
GAS LIFT BARRIER
A removable barrier is provided that prevents flow between an exterior of a mandrel and an interior of a mandrel. In one embodiment a dissolvable shroud surrounds the ports of the gas lift valve and temporarily prevents flow between the exterior of the gas lift valve and the interior of the mandrel. In an additional embodiment, a dissolvable plug may be placed within a portion of the gas lift valve or a portion of the lug in the mandrel to temporarily prevent flow between the exterior of the gas lift valve and the interior of the mandrel. In another embodiment, a dissolvable sleeve is placed within the mandrel to cover the port within the mandrel to temporarily prevent flow between the exterior of the gas the valve in the interior of the mandrel.
System and method for hanger and packoff lock ring actuation
A wellbore system includes a hanger lock energizing ring, a hanger lock ring, and a shoulder ring. The wellbore system further includes a seal energizing ring coupled to the shoulder ring. The wellbore system also includes a seal element being driven into an energized position by the seal energizing ring. The wellbore system further includes a seal lock energizing ring being driven to move via one or more extensions. The wellbore system includes a seal lock ring being supported, at least in part, by the seal energizing ring. Both the hanger lock ring and the seal lock ring are set, substantially simultaneously, responsive to movement of the one or more extensions.

Magnetically coupled subsurface choke
Provided is a retrievable choke insert. The retrievable choke insert, in one aspect, includes an outer housing including a central bore extending axially through the outer housing, an open end, a closed end, and one or more outer housing openings extending through an outer housing sidewall thickness, and a bore flow management actuator disposed in the central bore, the bore flow management actuator having one or more bore flow management openings extending through a bore flow management actuator sidewall thickness, the bore flow management actuator operable to convey subsurface production fluids there through. The retrievable choke insert, in accordance with this aspect, further includes one or more choke insert magnets coupled to the bore flow management actuator, the one or more choke insert magnets configured to magnetically couple with one or more landing nipple magnets of a choke landing nipple to slide the bore flow management actuator and move the one or more bore flow management openings relative to the one or more outer housing openings to control an amount of the subsurface production fluid entering the bore flow management actuator.

Accessing lateral wellbores in a multilateral well
A wellbore whipstock tool assembly includes a body that includes an uphole axial surface that is slanted from one portion of an edge of the uphole axial surface to another portion of the edge of the uphole axial surface, a downhole axial surface opposite the uphole axial surface, and a radial surface between the uphole axial surface and the downhole axial surface; one or more keys formed on the radial surface and configured to secure into one or more keyholes formed in a casing of a wellbore; and a bore that extends between an opening in the uphole axial surface and an opening in the downhole axial surface, the bore sized to receive a bottom hole assembly of an intervention tool.
