Method and Apparatus for providing a plug with a deformable expandable continuous ring creating a fluid barrier
20220049573 · 2022-02-17 ·

A plug assembly includes an expandable assembly and a locking ring. The expandable assembly is adapted to be deformed radially over the locking ring. The plug assembly is used with an untethered object, which is adapted to contact an inside surface of the plug assembly and, using well fluid pressure, to apply forces to the plug assembly. The forces cause further radial deformation of the expandable assembly, and penetration of an internal surface of the tubing string at least at one point with a gripping portion of the expandable assembly.

A downhole tool includes an outer sleeve and an inner sleeve positioned at least partially within the outer sleeve. A setting ring is configured to be positioned at least partially within the inner sleeve. A first fastener is configured to couple the setting ring to a plug. The inner sleeve is configured to pull on the setting ring to actuate the plug from a first state into a second state. The first fastener is configured to break when the plug is in the second state, thereby de-coupling the setting ring from the plug.

Milling and whipstock assembly with flow diversion component

An apparatus for performing a milling operation includes a mill having an internal fluid conduit and a fluid port configured to connect the internal fluid conduit to an exterior of the mill. A moveable flow diversion component is configured to move axially in the internal conduit from a first axial position in which fluid is prevented from flowing between the internal fluid conduit and the fluid port, to a second axial position in which the internal fluid conduit is in fluid communication with the fluid port. The apparatus also includes one or more slots configured to engage one or more pins extending into the internal fluid conduit, the one or more slots defining a path that directs movement of the flow diversion component. The flow diversion component is configured to be moved from the first to the second axial position by changing fluid pressure in the internal fluid conduit.

The invention provides a downhole initiator tool (10, 210, 410, 610) for use in initiating a downhole operation, and a method of use. The downhole initiator tool comprises a mandrel (34, 234, 434, 634), an initiator assembly (26, 226, 426, 626), and an anchor assembly (28, 228, 428, 628) mounted on the mandrel. The anchor assembly comprises a radially extendable anchor member (26, 226, 426, 626) for engaging an outer bore structure. The anchor assembly and the mandrel are axially moveable relative to each other in a first axial direction to sequentially extend the anchor member and activate the initiator assembly.

Downhole test tool and method of use

A well bore integrity test tool (10) and method of pressure integrity testing a well bore by performing positive and negative pressure tests in a well bore in multiple locations in the well and on the same trip as other operations in the well bore. The tool includes a resettable anchor mechanism (20) and a tension set packer assembly (22). An embodiment of performing a dress-off, integrity testing, casing cutting and pulling in a single trip for well abandonment is described.

Running tool assemblies and methods

A running tool assembly for installing a hanger in a wellhead housing includes a first body configured to support the hanger, a second body coupled to the first body, a piston moveable relative to the second body, wherein the piston includes a first position and a second position spaced from the first position, and a piston chamber formed in the running tool assembly, wherein, when the assembly is coupled to the hanger and the hanger is positioned in the wellhead housing, the piston is configured to actuate from the first position to the second position in response to a pressurization of the piston chamber to engage a locking member disposed about the hanger and thereby lock the hanger to the wellhead housing, the assembly including a passage having a diameter that is equal to or larger in size than a diameter of a passage of the hanger.

PLUG SETTING TOOL

An apparatus for setting a plug in a borehole penetrating a subsurface formation includes a tool mandrel defining a chamber having a port and a power charge disposed in the chamber for emitting a pressurized gas upon ignition. The apparatus also includes an outer sleeve at least partially surrounding the tool mandrel and defining an annulus between the outer sleeve and the tool mandrel where the annulus is in communication with the port. The apparatus further includes a piston disposed in the annulus and having an outer surface facing uphole within the annulus, the piston being in mechanical communication with a setting sleeve of the plug, wherein displacement of the setting sleeve causes setting of a slip and a seal of the plug.
