METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR CREATING AN ANNULAR SEAL IN A WELLBORE
20230057678 · 2023-02-23 ·

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.

Method and Apparatus for providing a ball-in-place plug activated by cup and internal continuous expansion mechanism
20230056451 · 2023-02-23 ·

A plug assembly, dedicated for ball-in-place operation, includes an expandable assembly, a locking ring, a cup and studs, to be deployed using a retrievable setting tool. The expandable assembly is adapted to be deformed radially over the locking ring and the cup, while the locking ring is retained longitudinally relative to a mandrel of the retrievable setting tool, thanks to the studs positioned within the cup. The locking ring has a stopping inner surface. The combination of the cup and an untethered object is adapted to contact an inner surface of the plug assembly and, using well fluid pressure, to apply forces to the plug assembly. The forces cause the longitudinal movement of the cup and untethered objects while contacting the inner surface of the plug assembly until the cup contacts the stopping inner surface of the locking ring.

Fluid flow control during well treatment

A method of treating a subterranean well can include positioning a flow restrictor in a wellbore that penetrates an interval of an earth formation, displacing the flow restrictor along the wellbore away from a surface of the well, preventing longitudinal displacement of the flow restrictor in the wellbore, introducing flow into a first section of the interval from a section of the wellbore between the flow restrictor and the surface, blocking the flow from the wellbore section into the first interval section, permitting longitudinal displacement of the flow restrictor in the wellbore, and displacing the flow restrictor along the wellbore away from the surface of the well, thereby permitting unrestricted flow from the wellbore section into a second section of the interval. The second interval section is farther along the wellbore from the surface than the first interval section.

EMERGENCY DISCONNECT ISOLATION VALVE
20230043285 · 2023-02-09 ·

An isolation valve system, method, and apparatus are provided that can isolate a wellbore and prevent fluids from exiting the well and prevent seawater from entering the well. The system can be a two-part design in some embodiments where a shear sub is selectively interconnected to a body via shearing screws. A sufficient force on the shear sub destroys the shearing screws and the shear sub is removed from the body. This movement rotates an actuator on the body, which in turn rotates a valve in the body to provide the isolating function during routine operation of a wellbore or during an emergency.

Liner hanger with enhanced locking assembly

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.
