STAGE CEMENTING COLLAR WITH CUP TOOL
20220381109 · 2022-12-01 ·

A technique facilitates simplified cementing operations in a borehole with fewer trips downhole. The technique utilizes a cementing system having a stage cementing collar in combination with a cup tool. According to an embodiment, the stage cementing collar may comprise a collar body, a no-go connected to the collar body, and a port closure sleeve which serves as a valve positioned to close/open flow ports extending laterally through the collar body. The cup tool may be conveyed downhole on, for example, jointed pipe or coiled tubing, for engagement with the port closure sleeve. The cup tool is used to shift the port closure sleeve between operational positions, e.g. from a port open to a port closed position.

LINER DEPLOYMENT TOOL

A gravel pack system includes a liner assembly and a deployment assembly. The liner assembly includes a sand control screen. The deployment assembly facilitates rotation of the liner assembly and circulation through the liner assembly while running the liner assembly into a wellbore using a work string. The deployment assembly includes a crossover tool that is operated to facilitate gravel packing without manipulation of the work string. The deployment assembly also includes a setting tool for setting a packer and/or a sand barrier at the top of the liner assembly.

FLOAT VALVE FOR DRILLING AND WORKOVER OPERATIONS
20230059642 · 2023-02-23 ·

A well system includes a tubular string comprising a plurality of tubular segments and positioned in a wellbore drilled into a subterranean zone, and a landing sub connected to a bottom end of one of the plurality of tubular segments. The landing sub includes a landing sub central bore and a landing sub locking profile on an inner surface of the landing sub central bore. The well system also includes a valve assembly configured to be pumped down the tubular string by fluid flowing in a downhole direction through the tubular string and to land within the landing sub central bore. The valve assembly includes a main body with a valve central bore and a flapper configured to pivot between an open position and a closed position. In the closed positon the flapper seals against a flapper seat and blocks fluid from flowing in an uphole direction through the valve central bore. The valve assembly also includes a rupture disc positioned in the valve central bore and configured to rupture in response to an application of a predetermined fluid pressure and configured to block fluid from flowing through the valve central bore when in an unruptured state. The valve assembly also includes one or more valve body setting dogs positioned on an outer surface of the main body and configured to lock into the landing sub locking profile and thereby limit axial movement of the main body within the landing sub.

SHEARABLE DRIVE PIN ASSEMBLY

A downhole tool for use in a well comprising a mandrel and an outer sleeve slidably disposed about the mandrel. An inner sleeve is slidably disposed in the mandrel. A drive pin comprising a drive pin bushing connected to the outer sleeve and a shear pin connected to the inner sleeve connects the inner sleeve to the outer sleeve.

Self-regulating FRAC pump suction stabilizer/dampener

A hydraulic fracturing pump system includes an electric powered hydraulic fracturing pump positioned on a support structure. The system also includes a suction stabilizer/dampener coupled to a suction end of the pump. The system further includes a compressed gas supply, fluidly coupled to the suction stabilizer/dampener, and positioned on the support structure. The system also includes a flow path between the suction stabilizer/dampener and the compressed gas supply, the flow path including at least one valve and at least one regulator configured to control flow from the compressed gas supply to the suction stabilizer/dampener.

Resettable toe valve

A toe valve to control the injection of fluid into a toe of an oil or gas well and including: a body with a bore, the body having a port adapted to permit fluid flow between the bore and an outlet on an external surface of the toe valve when the port is open; a closure member adapted to move from an initial closed position in which the port is closed, to an open position in which the port is open; and an actuating mechanism which can be actuated to urge the closure member from the initial closed position toward the open position, and which can be reset when the closure member is moving between the closed and open positions to return the closure member to the initial closed position.

Wiper plug with atmospheric chamber

A wiper plug is used in an operation to cement tubing in a borehole. The wiper plug is pumped down the tubing to separate an advancing fluid from a following fluid of the cementing operation, and an internal pressure chamber is maintained in a throughbore of the wiper plug between uphole and downhole barriers. The wiper plug eventually lands in the tubing, and the uphole barrier is removed by applying a first predetermined pressure against the uphole barrier. Removal of the uphole barrier is facilitated by the known and controlled internal pressure of the plug's chamber. The downhole barrier is also removed so that flow is permitted through the throughbore of the wiper plug. To perform a tubing pressure test, the downhole barrier can be removed due to pressure, and the chamber may have a temporary valve to hold applied pressure to a test level. Alternatively, the downhole barrier can hold the applied pressure. The temporary valve and the downhole barrier can then be self-removing in response to a stimulus.

Automatically shifting frac sleeves

A frac sleeve system includes a well casing with a tubular wall having a frac port defined there through for hydraulic fracturing. A sleeve within the well casing includes a sleeve body. The sleeve is mounted for axial movement relative to the tubular wall of the well casing among three positions including: a closed position in which the sleeve body blocks the frac port, a frac position in which the sleeve body clears the frac port so the frac port is open for hydraulic fracturing there through, and a production position in which the sleeve at least partially blocks the frac port.

Switch sliding sleeve device for oil-gas exploitation and switching method thereof, oil-gas exploitation tool and switching method of wall through hole thereof
11608714 · 2023-03-21 ·

A switch sliding sleeve device for oil-gas exploitation and switching method thereof, an oil-gas exploitation tool and a switching method of a wall through hole thereof are disclosed. The disclosure relates to the technical field of oil-gas exploitation, and solves the technical problems in the prior art that the switching operation steps of a wall through hole of an outer cylinder are tedious and complex, and a large amount of manpower and material resources are consumed. The switch sliding sleeve device for oil-gas exploitation and the oil-gas exploitation tool include an outer cylinder, a switch sliding sleeve mechanism and a trigger. When the trigger is put into the outer cylinder and punching triggers the switch sliding sleeve mechanism, the switch sliding sleeve mechanism is capable of being switched from a state of opening the wall through hole to a state of closing the wall through hole until is triggered by the trigger or another trigger again. The switching method of the wall through hole of the oil-gas exploitation tool includes the following steps: putting a trigger into the outer cylinder to open the wall through hole, and putting the trigger into the outer cylinder again to close the wall through hole. Thus, the switching operation of the wall through hole is facilitated, and the operation cost is reduced.
