A downhole component includes a body and a stress riser formed in the body. The stress riser being positioned and shaped to promote a full fracture of the body while maintaining a structure of the body to bear force in at least one direction. A downhole system having a tubular string disposed in a borehole.

Example of the present disclosure relate to frac sleeve with set of inner sleeves that allow selective open and close of such sleeves, where clusters of the same frac sleeves to be treated top to bottom.

A settable downhole tool with preset metallic split rings having gaps from their leading edges to their trailing edges. The rings expand radially outward during setting by widening the gaps, adjacent rings covering the gaps, creating a substantially fluid tight metal to metal seal with the casing.

A downhole deployment and isolation system may be used to deploy a completion string, service the well, and isolate the lower completion string, optionally in a single trip. The lower completion string may be run into the well with a valve in an open condition, such as a ball valve propped open by a mandrel. The mandrel may be operable to both disconnect the work string from the lower completion string and to close the valve upon disconnecting such as by removing the mandrel from the ball. The valve may be remotely reopened with fluid pressure form surface.

A method includes identifying one or more stress regime types along at least a portion of a borehole, where the stress regime types are selected from a normal stress regime, a thrust stress regime and a strike-slip stress regime, and selecting reservoir access locations along the borehole based on the type of stress regime identified along the borehole.

A crossover tool for use in a wellbore includes: a tubular housing having a bypass port; a mandrel having a bore therethrough and a mandrel port in fluid communication with the mandrel bore, the mandrel movable relative to the tubular housing between a first position where the mandrel port is isolated from the bypass port and a second position where the mandrel port is aligned with the bypass port; and an actuator operable to move the mandrel between the first position and the second position. The actuator includes a first piston connected to the mandrel and a second piston operable in response to the first piston.

A “passive” apparatus and method for isolating flow within a thermal wellbore wherein inflow apertures are plugged with a temporary fusible alloy plug that can be selectively removed by increasing the wellbore temperature.

The present invention relates to a downhole valve device for providing access to a hydrocarbon reservoir, comprising a tubular element having a wall, an inner face and an outer face, the tubular element having a first through-bore and a plurality of second through-bores in the wall extending from the inner face to the outer face, and a sleeve abutting the inner face and being displaceable along the inner face between a first state in which the sleeve covers the first and second through-bores and a second state in which the sleeve uncovers the first and second through-bores, wherein a burst element is arranged in the first through-bore and an acid-dissolvable plug is arranged in each second through-bore. Moreover, the present invention also relates to a downhole completion system for completing a well in low pressure zone and a downhole completion method for completing a well.

A casing segment comprising a cylinder, a downhole tool, a first channel in the cylinder, a degradable plug wherein the plug degrades when exposed to a degrading fluid, said degrading fluid concurrently not degrading to the cylinder or the downhole tool, and a fluid reservoir that stores the degrading fluid, wherein the fluid reservoir is in fluid communication with the plug. A method comprising obtaining a casing segment having a cylinder, a downhole tool, and a fluid reservoir with degrading fluid, said degrading fluid concurrently not degrading to the cylinder or the downhole tool, wherein the cylinder includes a first channel, installing a degradable plug within the first channel, deploying the casing segment downhole, and exposing the degradable plug to the degrading fluid to cause the downhole tool to be in fluid communication with the interior surface of the cylinder.

A tool is used to inject a rapidly solidifying sealant into and across highly fractured oil and gas wellbore formations when a significant loss circulation zone or event is encountered. A system including the tool allows for application of the sealant to the formation without requiring removal of the drill string from the hole. The tool may have operatively associate with containers storing sealant and or sealant components that are provided downhole from the surface via wireline or the like.
