A chemical injection mandrel for injecting chemicals into a Lower Tertiary well includes a chemical injector disposed on an exterior surface of a mandrel. The chemical injection mandrel connects to the production tubing such that the chemical injector portion of the chemical injection mandrel is disposed in the annulus between the production tubing and wellbore at or near the bottom of the hole. A floating production storage and offloading unit on the surface of the water may include a chemical injection pump that injects chemicals downhole via a chemical fluid line that runs in the annulus between the production tubing and the wellbore. The chemical fluid line connects to the chemical injector portion of the chemical injection mandrel and delivers chemicals to the interior passageway of the mandrel of the chemical injection mandrel where the chemicals mix with the production flow directed to the surface.

A tubular system includes a side pocket mandrel having at least one side pocket defining a device storage zone. A conductor extends along the tubular system to the side pocket. A stored device is arranged in the device storage zone.

Method and system for pipe conveyed logging (PCL) operations in which the drillpipe conveys a logging tool. The method and system coordinate operation of a wireline winch and drilling rig control systems to synchronize their operation, and/or the method and system attenuate the pull force applied to an upper end of the cable and transmit the attenuated force toward a lower end of the cable to reduce the risks of premature cable release and cable damage.

Collecting temperature data at a plurality of locations along a wellbore, performing thermo-mechanical simulations of a drill string in response to mud circulation wherein the drill string comprises a tool string suspended in the wellbore from a pipe string, determining changes in length of the pipe string due to temperature changes, positionally fixing the tool string at one of the locations, and adjusting the length of the pipe string based on the determined change in length of the pipe string. Positionally fixing the tool string may comprise lowering the drill string a side entry sub of the drill string is proximate a top end of the wellbore wherein the side entry sub is configured to allow a wireline cable to enter a bore of the drill string, positioning the side entry sub above a blow-out-preventer, and closing the blow-out-preventer around the drill string below the side entry sub.

Provided is a downhole rotary slip ring joint, a well system, and a method for accessing a wellbore. The downhole rotary slip ring joint, in one aspect, includes an outer mandrel, an inner mandrel operable to rotate relative to the outer mandrel, first and second outer mandrel communication connections coupled to the outer mandrel. The downhole rotary slip ring joint, according to this aspect, further includes first and second inner mandrel communication connections coupled to the inner mandrel, a first and second passageway extending through the outer mandrel and the inner mandrel, the first and second passageway configured to provide continuous coupling between the second outer mandrel communication connection and the second inner mandrel communication connection regardless of a rotation of the inner mandrel relative to the outer mandrel, wherein the downhole rotary slip ring joint is operable to be coupled to a wellbore access tool.

A drilling system includes a string of drill pipe extending into a wellbore from a drilling platform. A Y-block junction is coupled to the string of drill pipe at the drilling platform and provides a pressure housing that defines a first conduit and a second conduit that converges with the first conduit. The pressure housing further defines an outlet configured to be coupled to the string of drill pipe extending into the wellbore. A lubricator is operatively coupled to the Y-block junction at the second conduit, and a cable having one or more optical fibers embedded therein is conveyed into the wellbore within the string of drill pipe via the lubricator and the Y-block junction.

A pumping system configured to recover wellbore fluids from a wellbore includes an electric motor that has a motor head, a pothead receiving bore within the motor head, a motor insulator block within the motor head, and a stator lead within the motor insulator block. The pumping system further includes a motor lead cable and a pothead connector connected between the motor head and the motor lead cable. The pumping system includes a hermetically fused pothead-to-motor connection at an interface between the pothead connector and the motor head that obviates the need for conventional elastomeric seals at the interface between the pothead connector and the motor head.
