A FLUID DIVERTER TOOL, SYSTEM AND METHOD OF DIVERTING A FLUID FLOW IN A WELL
A fluid diverter tool, system and method of diverting a fluid flow in a in a well, having: a tubular mandrel and a packer element affixed onto an exterior thereof and operable to sealingly engage an inside of a pipe body to divert a flow of a treatment fluid outwards through holes formed in the pipe bod; and a pressure relief device operable to open and relieve pressure from one side to another side of the packer element when exposed to a given pressure differential acting across the pressure relief device from said one side of the packer element, the pressure relief device also adapted to close when exposed to a lower than said given pressure differential acting thereacross from said one side of the packer element.

CUP TESTER UNIT
Cup tester unit comprising a BOP test plug insertable into a casing head housing, for sealing a space of drilling systems above the BOP test plug; a hanger connected to the lower end of the BOP test plug; and a test cup assembled at the outer circumference of the hangers, for sealing with the inner surface of a well casing. Further, a method of testing a of drilling systems and a connection between a well casing and a casing head housing is claimed.
Outflow control device, systems and methods
A well tool assembly can include a well screen configured to filter fluid flow between an interior and an exterior of a tubular string, and an outflow control section that permits the fluid flow in an outward direction and prevents the fluid flow in an inward direction, the outflow control section including at least two outflow control valves arranged in series. A method can include installing a well tool assembly including a well screen, flowing a fluid from an exterior to an interior of a tubular string through the well screen and an inflow control valve of the well tool assembly, and flowing another fluid from the interior to the exterior of the tubular string through the well screen and at least one outflow control valve of the well tool assembly.

Swellable rubber element that also creates a cup packer
Provided is an apparatus, as well as a method for establishing a seal between a mandrel and a borehole. The apparatus, in one aspect, includes a mandrel, and a packer, the packer including: a constrained portion coupled to the mandrel; and an unconstrained portion made of a swellable material and coupled to the constrained portion, wherein the unconstrained portion is free to move with respect to the mandrel. The apparatus, according to one aspect, further includes a spring positioned between the mandrel and the unconstrained portion and configured to urge the unconstrained portion away from the mandrel, the spring having a spring force less than a yield strength of the swellable material when the swellable material is in an unswelled condition.

STAGED CEMENTING DEVICE AND STAGED CEMENTING METHOD
A staged cementing device includes a cylindrical body having an inner chamber. A circulating opening and a liquid inlet recess open to the inner chamber are arranged on a wall of the body. An opening assembly is arranged in the body, which has an opening sleeve and an opening seat located in the opening sleeve. Initially the opening sleeve is connected with the body through a first shear pin and covers the circulating opening, and the opening seat is connected with the opening sleeve through a second shear pin and covers the liquid inlet recess. A packer includes a packing valve body and a packer rubber. The packing valve body includes a flow channel in communication with the liquid inlet recess, and the packer rubber includes a liquid reservoir in communication with the flow channel. The second shear pin is sheared off in response to primary cementing procedure.

Frac Plug with Retention Mechanism
A frac plug is provided. The frac plug includes a plug body, a sealing element, and a slip. The plug body includes a first sub and a second sub. The first sub includes a first composite material outer sleeve, and a first metal inner core engaged with and structurally supporting the first composite material outer sleeve. The second sub includes a second composite material outer sleeve, and a second metal inner core engaged with and structurally supporting the second composite material outer sleeve. The sealing element is circumferentially disposed about the first sub and, when actuated, seals an annulus between the frac plug and a tubular section. The slip is disposed between the first sub and the second sub and, when actuated, engages the tubular section.
