SPACER WINDOW SLEEVE
Provided is a frac window system, a well system, and a method. The frac window system, in at least one aspect, includes an elongated tubular having a first end and a second end with an opening defined in a wall of the elongated tubular between the first end and the second end, the wall having an inner surface and an outer surface, wherein the opening in the wall is configured to align with a window of a first wellbore casing, and a spacer window sleeve positioned within the elongated tubular, the spacer window sleeve including a tubular having a first tubular end and a second tubular end with a second opening defined in a second wall of the tubular between the first tubular end and the second tubular end, the second wall having a second inner surface and a second outer surface, wherein the second opening in the second wall is configured to at least partially align with the opening in the wall of the elongated tubular.
STAGE CEMENTING COLLAR WITH CUP TOOL
A technique facilitates simplified cementing operations in a borehole with fewer trips downhole. The technique utilizes a cementing system having a stage cementing collar in combination with a cup tool. According to an embodiment, the stage cementing collar may comprise a collar body, a no-go connected to the collar body, and a port closure sleeve which serves as a valve positioned to close/open flow ports extending laterally through the collar body. The cup tool may be conveyed downhole on, for example, jointed pipe or coiled tubing, for engagement with the port closure sleeve. The cup tool is used to shift the port closure sleeve between operational positions, e.g. from a port open to a port closed position.
Downhole tool
A downhole tool which allows the selective operation of a second fluid pressure activated tool below a first fluid pressure activated tool on a tool string in a well. The downhole tool has a piston sleeve moveable inside a cylindrical body between a first position in which a small flow area is provided through the tool and a second position in which a larger flow area is provided. The piston sleeve is held in the first position by a magnet and the first fluid pressure activated tool can be operated by increasing fluid pressure above the tool up to a cracking pressure level which matches the pulling strength of the magnet. Increasing fluid pressure to the cracking pressure therefore selectively moves the piston sleeve to the second position in which the second fluid pressure activated tool can be operated. The downhole tool is resettable.
Fluid handling device
A flow diverter for connecting a central bore to an outer conduit. The flow diverter defines a portion of the central bore and angled flow passages connecting the portion of the central bore to the outer conduit. Rounded edges between the central bore and angled flow passages reduce cavitation and/or turbulence. The rounded edges and an adjacent portion of the central bore may be defined by an insert.
Device and method to trigger, shift, and/or operate a downhole device of a drilling string in a wellbore
A downhole device and method to trigger, shift, and/or operate a downhole device of a drilling string in a wellbore is disclosed. At a high level, the disclosed device causes a portion of drilling fluids to bypass the drill bit and into the annulus. The bypass may be triggered upon certain conditions related to the rotation speeds of the drill string or other conditions such as the pressure of the drilling fluids. For example, the drill string may be rotated in some protocol of operation (e.g., stop at certain rpm, and/or stop at certain other rpm) to describe a recognizable series of signals to an accelerometer and/or microprocessor that will communicate to pumps or valves to operate or pause/stop operations.
METHODS AND SYSTEMS ASSOCIATED WITH CONVERTING LANDING COLLAR TO HYBRID LANDING COLLAR & TOE SLEEVE
A wiper plug to activate an internal sleeve positioned within a landing collar, wherein the landing collar and the internal sleeve are integral components
LINER DEPLOYMENT TOOL
A gravel pack system includes a liner assembly and a deployment assembly. The liner assembly includes a sand control screen. The deployment assembly facilitates rotation of the liner assembly and circulation through the liner assembly while running the liner assembly into a wellbore using a work string. The deployment assembly includes a crossover tool that is operated to facilitate gravel packing without manipulation of the work string. The deployment assembly also includes a setting tool for setting a packer and/or a sand barrier at the top of the liner assembly.
TOE VALVE WITH VENTED ATMOSPHERIC CHAMBER
A toe valve for use in a wellbore includes: a tubular mandrel; a housing extending along a periphery of the mandrel; couplings at longitudinal ends of the toe valve for assembly as part of a casing or liner string; a valve piston disposed in an annulus formed between the housing and the mandrel, movable between an open position and a closed position, and disposed between a valve port of the housing and a valve port of the mandrel in the closed position; an atmospheric chamber for facilitating movement of the valve piston to the open position; a vent port formed through the housing and in fluid communication with the atmospheric chamber; and a flow control device disposed in the vent port and operable to prevent fluid flow from the wellbore into the atmospheric chamber and allow fluid flow from the atmospheric chamber into the wellbore.
SHEARABLE DRIVE PIN ASSEMBLY
A downhole tool for use in a well comprising a mandrel and an outer sleeve slidably disposed about the mandrel. An inner sleeve is slidably disposed in the mandrel. A drive pin comprising a drive pin bushing connected to the outer sleeve and a shear pin connected to the inner sleeve connects the inner sleeve to the outer sleeve.
Adaptive noise reduction for event monitoring during hydraulic fracturing operations
A system detects an acoustic-wave-producing downhole event associated with a pipe at an uphole location in the presence of surface noise. The system comprises: a first plurality of acoustic sensors located a first axial position along the pipe and oriented symmetrically about the pipe axis; and a second plurality of acoustic sensors located a second axial position along the pipe and oriented symmetrically about the pipe axis, the second axial position spaced apart from the first axial position. A processor is connected to receive the signals from the first and second pluralities of sensors and configured to process the sensor signals to thereby produce an output signal. The processor is configured to adjust the digital processing, based on the sensor signals, to minimize a contribution of the surface noise to the output signal.
