11346180 · 2022-05-31 · ·

The present invention relates to a downhole inflow production restriction device for mounting in an opening in a well tubular metal structure arranged in a wellbore, the downhole inflow production restriction device comprising a device opening, and a brine dissolvable element configured to prevent flow from within the well tubular metal structure through the device opening to an outside of the well tubular metal structure before being at least partly dissolved in brine, wherein the brine dissolvable element is at least partly made of a magnesium alloy. The present invention also relates to a downhole completion system and to a completion method.

System and method for surface to downhole communication without flow

A flow-off telemetry system and method of communicating information from a downhole location in a borehole to a surface location while fluid circulation is off. A string is conveyed in the wellbore to define an inner bore and an annulus. During a flow-off condition, an inner bore sealing element closes the inner bore to create a first standing column of fluid in the inner bore, and an annulus sealing element closes the annulus to form a second standing column of fluid in the annulus. A bypass valve in the string at a downhole location between the first standing column of fluid and the second standing column of fluid is activated to generate a pressure pulse including information for performing an action. The pressure pulse is received at a pressure sensor at the surface location and a controller performs an action in response to the information in the pressure pulse.

Method for controlling a drilling system

A drilling system that includes a mud pump disposed on an earth surface and a drill string with a bottom hole assembly (BHA) in a borehole. The drilling system can be controlled by turning the mud pump ON or OFF according to a pre-determined sequence so that the mud flow in the borehole fluctuates between high and low. The mud pulser in the bottom hole assembly senses the fluctuation in the mud flow and generates a binary signal accordingly. The mud pulser further sends the binary signal to a measurement-while-drilling (MWD) tool in the bottom hole assembly. The binary signal executes one or more firmware in the MWD tool.
