A wellbore tool system for use within a wellbore includes a stage packer shoe, having a lower body extending from a first end to a second end; an upper body attached to the lower body at the second end; and circulation ports extending through a thickness of the upper body; a metal cup having a predetermined diameter as determined by a diameter of the wellbore; the metal cup secured around a periphery of the lower body of the stage packer shoe such that the metal cup extends away from the periphery; the metal cup is to engage with the wellbore enough to have differential pressure holding capability between the stage packer shoe and the wellbore; and the differential pressure of the metal cup is dependent on a strength of the cup and the wellbore with which the metal cup is engaged.

An openhole interval of a well may be sealed by deploying a liquified phase transformation material to the openhole interval and allowing it to harden. In at least one example, this may be performed in a single step of building and maintaining pressure. The pressure may rupture a membrane, to introduce a fluid into a chamber with a reactive material (e.g. powder) in a delivery chassis, whereupon the fluid may exothermically combine with the reactive material to liquify the solid phase transformation material. The same applied pressure may also deliver the liquified phase transformation material to a deployment chassis, which then distributes the liquified phase transformation material under pressure to the openhole interval of the well. Various delivery chassis, deployment chassis, and related compositions and methods are disclosed as well.

A packer has a constrained portion coupled to a mandrel and an unconstrained portion made of a swellable material and coupled to the constrained portion. The unconstrained portion is free to move with respect to the mandrel.

A flow restrictor for restricting flow in an annulus, the flow restrictor comprising a body and a restrictor assembly mounted on the body, wherein the restrictor assembly is actuatable between a run-in configuration and a set configuration in which at least a portion of the restrictor assembly is radially splayed to thereby substantially restrict flow in the annulus, and wherein the flow restrictor is actuatable by fluid flow over the restrictor assembly above a threshold flow rate to actuate the restrictor assembly from the run-in configuration to the set configuration.

A downhole oil, gas, water and sand separation method and separator (10). The downhole oil, gas, water and sand separation method comprises: step 1: dividing an oil jacket annulus into a plurality of spaces in an outflow direction of produced liquid, wherein each space is provided with an accommodating cavity (21) communicated with the oil jacket annulus; step 2: arranging a plurality of liquid inlet hole groups (11) in a liquid outlet pipeline (1) of the produced liquid in the outflow direction of the produced liquid, wherein each of the liquid inlet hole groups (11) is communicated with one of the accommodating cavities (21); and step 3: separating oil, gas and water after the crude oil in the oil jacket annulus flows into each of the accommodating cavities (21), wherein separated oil drops or bubbles flow back to the oil jacket annulus from the accommodating cavities (21), and separated produced liquid simultaneously flows into the liquid outlet pipeline (1) through the plurality of liquid inlet hole groups (11). The downhole oil, gas, water and sand separation method and separator can realize a rapid downhole oil-water or gas-water separation in the high water-content crude oil.

Disclosed herein are various embodiments of methods and systems for drilling a wellbore into an oil or gas production zone to prevent formation damage in the reservoir using underbalanced or near-balanced drilling techniques, wherein a jet pump drilling assembly is used to create a vacuum around the drill bit. The design of this jet pump drilling assembly prevents the flow of all drilling/power fluid from entering a drill bit Only fluids from the reservoir are allowed to enter the drill bit. The assembly includes a barrier to ensure that no drilling/power fluid discharged from the jet pump located above the drill bit can flow back around to the jet pump jet pump suction ports located in the drill bit thus preventing any drilling/power fluid from ever contacting the drill bit.

There are proposed a method for selective processing of a productive formation and a device for implementation thereof coupled with a tubing. The device is lowered to the formation’s lowest interval and fixed therein. Working fluid is supplied into the device’s hydraulic fracturing port, the interval is isolated with sealing elements, and hydraulic fracturing is executed. An annular gap is flushed with flush fluid, the lower packer is activated and debris is washed out of the gap through a hydraulic fracturing port. The device is turned to the transport position. The tubing is moved shifting the device’s hollow rod and flushing holes are opened. Flush fluid is then fed into the tubing, the sealing elements are activated and debris is washed out of the gap’s lower area pushing the mixture along the device’s inner cavity into the well. Then the device is moved to the next interval for further processing.
