Method for slim hole single trip remedial or plug and abandonment cement barrier

Provided in one aspect is a new tool and methodology to work, in a single-trip system, and create conduits through the casing or tubing to access the annuli, circulate out the annuli contents, accurately deliver the cement required to create the subsequent barrier. The tool and system provided by this aspect provide a cost effective way of plugging an oil and gas well in a single trip without the need to remove in-place production casing.

A downhole apparatus has a sleeve body sleeve body defining a sleeve body inner surface. The sleeve body has an internal thread on at least a portion thereof. The internal thread defining having a thread minor diameter. A plug seat is pressed into the threaded portion of the sleeve body. The plug seat has an unthreaded outer surface defining a plug seat outer diameter. The plug seat outer diameter is greater than the thread minor diameter.

STAGE CEMENTING TOOL

A stage cementing tool for a wellbore comprises a tool body defining a flow port in a wall thereof. The tool body and wellbore define an annulus therebetween. A setting sleeve compresses a packer element as it moves from the first to the second position. The packer element expands radially outwardly to engage the wellbore as a result of the compression applied by the setting sleeve. A pump-out plug in the tool body is expellable into the annulus upon the application of pressure in the tool body after the packer element engages the wellbore.

Thru-tubing subsurface completion unit employing detachable anchoring seals

Systems and methods for thru-tubing completion including a sub-surface completion unit (SCU) system including a SCU wireless transceiver for communicating with a surface control system of a well by way of wireless communication with a down-hole wireless transceiver disposed in a wellbore of the well, one or more SCU anchoring seals having an un-deployed position (enabling the SCU to pass through production tubing disposed in the wellbore of the well) and a deployed position (to seal against a wall of the target zone of the open-hole portion of the wellbore to provide zonal isolation between adjacent regions in the wellbore) and one or more SCU centralizers having an un-deployed position (enabling the SCU to pass through the production tubing disposed in the wellbore of the well) and a deployed position (to position the SCU in the target zone of the open-hole portion of the wellbore).

System for successively uncovering ports along a wellbore to permit injection of a fluid along said wellbore
10577890 · 2020-03-03 · ·

A system for successively uncovering a plurality of contiguous ports in a tubing liner within a wellbore, or for successively uncovering individual groups of ports arranged at different but adjacent locations along the liner, to allow successive fracking of the wellbore at such locations. Sliding sleeves in the tubing liner are provided, having a circumferential groove therein, which are successively moved from a closed position covering a respective port to an open position uncovering such port by an actuation member placed in the bore of the tubing liner. Each actuation member comprises a dissolvable plug which in one embodiment is retained by shear pins at an uphole end of a collet sleeve, the latter having radially-outwardly biased protuberances (fingers) which matingly engage sliding sleeves having cylindrical grooves therein, based on the width of the protuberance. In one embodiment, when actuating the most downhole sleeve, the shear pin shears allowing the plug to move in the collet sleeve and prevent the protuberance (fingers) from disengaging.
