A wellbore system can include a completion assembly having a completion string. The system can also include a service string that can be positioned within an inner diameter of the completion string. A location-sensing component can be positioned on the completion string or the service string. A communication link communicatively coupled with the location-sensing component can transmit signals representing a stimuli detected by the location-sensing component. A stimuli-producing device can output the stimuli that is detected by the location-sensing component. A stimuli-producing device can be positioned on the other of the completion string or the service string.

A system includes a cable with a core material, an intermediate layer surrounding the core material, a retention assembly located around the core material and configured to compress the core material and restrict the core material from moving in the cable, and an outer metallic tubular surrounding the intermediate layer. Further an electrical device is coupleable to the cable.

A method of conducting subterranean drilling operations comprising guiding a tubular with a first guide arranged in a first configuration; coupling an umbilical line to the tubular with an engagement element; guiding the tubular with a second guide; arranging the first guide to a second configuration to permit longitudinal passage of the engagement element past the first guide; and arranging the first guide to the first configuration after the engagement element is past the first guide. A system for conducting subterranean operations comprising a first guide and a second guide disposed at different vertical elevations, wherein the first and second guides are adapted to provide continuous support to a tubular in a lateral direction when the tubular is coupled with an umbilical line.

A cable clamp, modified tubular, and method for securing a cable to a tubular. The cable clamp includes a first base that is configured to be attached to the tubular by a bonding material, and a cover that is configured to be placed on the first base. At least one of the first base or the cover defines a groove extending therein, for receiving a cable through the cable clamp.

One or more specific embodiments disclosed herein includes a clamp for use with downhole equipment, comprising a clamp top, which comprises a first hinged side and a first adjustable side; a clamp bottom, which comprises a second hinged side and a second adjustable side, wherein the first hinged side and the second hinged side are connected to form a clamp hinge, and further wherein the first adjustable side and the second adjustable side are adjacent to each other; a clip attached to the outer diameter of the clamp top, wherein the clip and the clamp top form a clip hinge on the outer diameter of the clamp top; and one or more rub bars attached to the outer diameter of the clamp top.

well pump wire clamp specifically designed to mount well pump wire cable to drop pipe located in the well casing. The well pump wire clamp generally comprises a first clamping member and a second clamping member configured for interlocking around the outer surface of the drop pipe keeping the wire cable safe from breakage. The first clamp member includes a U-shaped groove wide enough for engaging the wire cable and the tongue teeth located on the tapered tongue when inserted into the head will then engage the ratchet arm. The inner circumferential clamp surface is slightly modified by including a wire pipe rib to the first clamp member and a pipe rib to the second clamp member formed longitudinally along the inner circumferential clamp surface. When the well pump wire clamp is in a clamped position, the inner circumferential clamp surface and both pipe rib in engage and prevent the separation or disengaging of the well pump wire clamp from any skewing action. The second clamp member is similar to the first clamp member wherein both members include an outer guard for the preventing excessive or abnormal drop pipe torqueing or twisting when the pump starts and stops.

A well screen for a borehole. The well screen may include an arcuate outer shroud, a mesh layer, and a drainage layer. The arcuate outer shroud may include perforations, a first longitudinal end, and a second longitudinal end. The first and second longitudinal ends may be spaced arcuately apart such that a gap is formed between the first and the second longitudinal ends of the outer shroud. The mesh layer may restrict flow of particulate materials of a predetermined size from passing therethrough and is positioned radially inward from the outer shroud. The mesh layer may include a first and a second longitudinal end that are radially aligned with the first and the second longitudinal ends of the outer shroud to continue the gap. The drainage layer may be positioned radially inward from to the mesh layer and may include at least one of perforations or louvers.

A wireline release system may include, but is not limited to: a first housing including an internal body portion defining at least one bore; a second housing operably couplable to the first housing; a wireline tie-off assembly, operably couplable to a wireline cable, disposed at least partially within the bore; an assembly disposed at least partially within the bore; a first mechanical weak point configured to maintain the wireline tie-off assembly at a first position of the bore; and a second mechanical weak point configured to maintain the assembly at a second position of the bore.

A downhole tool including a tubular member having an outer surface and an inner surface defining a flow bore. An expandable member is arranged on the outer surface. The expandable member is selectively radially outwardly expandable. An activation mechanism is operatively connected to the expandable member. The activation mechanism is operable to radially outwardly expand the expandable member. A control line extends along the outer surface and over the expandable member. A control line guidance system is operable to shift the control line radially outwardly from the outer surface.

Provided is a control line, a method for sealing a control line, and a well system including a control line. The control line, in one aspect, includes a control line tubular, the control line tubular having a length (L.sub.t), a width (W.sub.t) and wall thickness (T.sub.t). The control line, in accordance with at least this aspect, further includes a sleeve of expandable metal positioned within the control line tubular, the sleeve of expandable metal comprising a metal configured to expand in response to hydrolysis to seal the control line tubular when contacting a reactive fluid.
