Wireless activation of wellbore completion assemblies

A completion section includes a base pipe defining a central flow passage, an injection port, and a production port. A fracturing assembly includes a frac sleeve positioned within the central flow passage adjacent the injection port, a sensor that detects a wireless signal, a first frac actuator actuatable in response to the wireless signal to move the frac sleeve and expose the injection port, and a second frac actuator actuatable based on the wireless signal to move the frac sleeve to occlude the injection port. A production assembly is axially offset from the fracturing assembly and includes a production sleeve positioned within the central flow passage adjacent the production port, a filtration device arranged about the base pipe, and a production actuator actuatable based on the wireless signal or an additional wireless signal to move the production sleeve to an open position where the production ports are exposed.

Frequency modulation for magnetic pressure pulse tool

An apparatus for applying a magnetic pressure to a work piece includes an inductor configured to be disposed in proximity to the work piece and a controller electrically connected to the inductor and configured to control a supply of electrical power in order to output a first voltage over a selected frequency range to determine a frequency that provides a maximum current or a frequency that provides a current within a selected range of the maximum current to the inductor.

Inflow control device and method for completing a wellbore

A chemically-activated inflow control device. The inflow control device comprises a tubular body configured to be connected in series to joints of sand screen in a wellbore. The tubular body forms a bore that receives a slotted base pipe. At the same time, the tubular body is fluidly connected with the sand screen joints, forming an annular flow path between the slotted base pipe and surrounding sand screen. Production fluids moving into the sand screen pass across a component that degrades in the presence of water. If the well begins producing water, the degradable component will dissolve, activating a sealing mechanism within the inflow control device and closing a restricted flow path. In this way, production fluids are not able to travel from the annular flow path into the bore of the slotted base pipe. A method for completing a wellbore having a chemically-activated inflow control device is also provided.

Systems and methods for indicating completion of a reverse cementing operation

A shoe for use with a casing string in a borehole. The shoe may include a first screen positioned within a bore of the shoe or of the casing string near the shoe. The first screen may include orifices sized to prevent the passage of lost circulation material or a material with properties similar to the lost circulation material from outside the shoe through the first screen.
