A sealing apparatus includes a swellable metal. The swellable metal, when exposed to a fluid, is transitionable from an initial configuration having an initial volume to an expanded configuration having an increased volume. The swellable metal, upon transitioning to the expanded configuration in an annulus of a fluid channel, forms a seal against a surface of the fluid channel such that fluid communication across the swellable metal in the annulus is at least partially restricted.

A workstring apparatus for creating an annular seal in a wellbore is described. Workstring comprises at least one packer apparatus comprising a body portion and an elastomeric packer element which is deformable into an outwardly deployed condition to deform wellbore casing. A fluid accumulator is provided to hold fluid to actuate at least one hydraulic cylinder of the packer apparatus. An electrically powered pump is operable to pump fluid from accumulator into the hydraulic cylinders of packer apparatus to deform the elastomeric packer element outwardly. A wireline connects the workstring to the surface and provides electrical power to the workstring. Wireline may be an electrical feed such as a composite rod or e-coil.

A buckle prevention ring assembly for use within a conduit, such as casing, having at least one buckle prevention ring may be provided. The buckle prevention ring may be bonded and may provide a fluid and gas tight seal to prevent fluid and gas from leaking out of the casing in a downhole environment.

A liner hanger having one: or more enhanced Socking assemblies is provided. The liner hanger includes a liner hanger body, lower slips, upper slips, a packer cone, and a seal that seals an annulus between the liner hanger and an outer casing, The one or more enhanced locking assemblies may include: a packer cone locking assembly that prevents all components of the liner hanger from actuating until it is unlocked; a slips locking assembly that prevents the lower slips from being actuated until it is unlocked; guide rails that prevent. the lower slips and/or the upper slips from being wedged in a radially outward direction during run in; and a floating cone locking assembly that releases the packer cone from being coupled to a spacer of the liner hanger when it is unlocked.

A stage cementing tool has a mandrel defining a central flow passage and a plurality of fully open cement flow ports. A packer disposed about the mandrel is movable from an unset to a set position. An opening sleeve is movable in the mandrel from a closed position to an open position in which the flow ports are exposed to allow flow therethrough. The opening sleeve is operable to move the setting sleeve to set the packer against the wellbore as it moves in the mandrel from the closed to the open position.

Wellbore isolation devices, methods of use, and downhole tools and systems comprising the wellbore isolation devices. A wellbore isolation device comprises a component selected from the group consisting of a mandrel, a packer element, a sealing ball, a wedge, a slip, a mule shoe, a wiper element, a wiper body, and any combination thereof; wherein the component comprises a degradable non-metallic material that degrades upon exposure to a wellbore environment; and wherein the degradable non-metallic material is a composite material comprising a non-epoxy matrix material and a reinforcing material.

A liner hanger system includes a mandrel and an extension disposed radially outwardly of the mandrel at least in part. The extension is disposed to urge a seal/anchor to a set position. A running tool is disposed radially inwardly of the mandrel and a ring is resiliently engagable with the mandrel and the extension simultaneously upon being deflected radially outwardly by the running tool.
