The setting tool includes: a debris cap (84) for engaging an upper end of the tubular string, thereby forming a buffer chamber between the debris cap (84) and the packoff (56); a mandrel (66) having a port formed through a wall thereof; a piston (71): disposed along the mandrel, having an upper face in fluid communication with the port, and operable to stroke the debris cap relative to the mandrel, thereby setting a hanger of the tubular string; an actuator sleeve (71) extending along the mandrel and connected to the piston; a packer actuator (62) including a housing connected to the debris cap above the buffer chamber and a fastener for engaging a profile of the actuator sleeve; and a latch releasably connecting the housing to the mandrel.

A system includes a tubular member (60) including a radially outer surface (60c) and a sensor assembly (128). The sensor assembly includes a strain sensor coupled to the radially outer surface. In addition, the sensor assembly includes a first coating having (134) a first hardness and a first tensile strength. The first coating encases the strain sensor (131,130) and at least part (64) of the outer surface. Further, the sensor assembly includes a second coating (136) having a second hardness that is greater than the first hardness and a second tensile strength that is greater than the first tensile strength. The second coating encases the first coating and at least another part (68) of the radially outer surface.

A system for emptying a gravity separated crude oil including a flexible bag storing the crude oil arranged within a protection structure, the protection structure including a bottom dement forming the lower section of the protection structure, the flexible bag being connected to a flange that is connected to the protection structure, and includes at least one fluid conduit providing fluid communication between the flexible bag and outside the protection structure A first outlet pipe is arranged inside the flexible bag near the bottom dement and is connected to and in fluid communication with the at least one fluid conduit A perforated tube surrounding the outlet pipe provides an annulus fluid passage, water is supplied to the structure volume, and the crude oil is emptied through the at least one fluid conduit, through the perforations in the perforated tube, through the annulus fluid passage to the first outlet pipe.

Casing installation assemblies for installing a casing within a borehole, as well as systems and methods related thereto are disclosed. In an embodiment, the casing installation assembly includes a tubular string, an isolation sub coupled to a downhole end of the tubular string, and a diverter sub coupled to and positioned downhole of the isolation sub. In addition, the casing installation assembly includes a landing string coupled to the diverter sub and configured to be coupled to the casing. The isolation sub includes a valve assembly that is configured to selectively prevent fluid communication between the tubular string and the diverter sub.

An outer casing string, including a surface casing head, and associated installation method. In some embodiments, the surface casing head includes an outer tubular member insertable through a diverter of an installed conductor system, an inner tubular member at least partially disposed within and moveable relative to the outer tubular member, and a sleeve ring rotatably coupled to the inner tubular. The outer tubular member has an annular recess. The sleeve ring includes a snap ring that is displaceable between an extended position and a retracted position. In the extended position, at least a portion of the snap ring is received within the annular recess, and the outer tubular member is axially immovable relative to the inner tubular member.
