Downhole Tool with Casing Scraper with Induced Rotation
A downhole tool for cleaning debris from an inner surface of a downhole casing that includes an inner mandrel moveable within the casing; and a scraper mandrel movably coupled to the outside of the inner mandrel by the engagement of a lug within a groove, the scraper mandrel including a scraper blade positioned on an outside of the scraper mandrel. Longitudinal movement of the scraper mandrel relative to the inner mandrel causes the lug to move within the groove, causing the scraper mandrel and the scraper blade to rotate relative to the inner mandrel and clean debris from the inner surface of the casing. The longitudinal movement is achieved by restraining movement of the scraper mandrel relative to the inner mandrel by contacting the debris with a scraper blade on the outside of the scraper mandrel, causing the scraper mandrel to move longitudinally relative to the inner mandrel.
Methods and apparatuses for gaining reentry below abandoned packers
A reentry guide tool includes an overshot defining a lower end and comprises a bowl and grapple. The bowl defines an interior space of the overshot, and the grapple is disposed in the bowl and is operable to engage a tubular. A tubular guide nipple has a downhole and an uphole end, the downhole end complementary to the overshot and the uphole end complementary to the reentry guide. The guide nipple is operable to connect and provide a transition between the overshot and reentry guide. The reentry guide is a tubular piece having an uphole end with a bevel. A deployment mechanism is defined on the overshot, reentry guide, or guide nipple, and is operable to connect the reentry guide to a running tool for deployment. A method of providing a transition from a first to a second tubular in a wellbore is also provided.
INDEXING TRACK AND PIN
A downhole tool is hydraulically actuated. The actuation system includes an indexing track and pin assembly. An operator may lose track of the location of the track and pin assembly. The indexing track and pin assembly includes a shifting indexing path. By moving the indexing track and pin assembly through the shifting indexing path, the indexing track and pin assembly will move to a known position without needing any pressure measurement.
Downhole tool with casing scraper with induced rotation
A downhole tool for cleaning debris from an inner surface of a downhole casing that includes an inner mandrel moveable within the casing; and a scraper mandrel movably coupled to the outside of the inner mandrel by the engagement of a lug within a groove, the scraper mandrel including a scraper blade positioned on an outside of the scraper mandrel. Longitudinal movement of the scraper mandrel relative to the inner mandrel causes the lug to move within the groove, causing the scraper mandrel and the scraper blade to rotate relative to the inner mandrel and clean debris from the inner surface of the casing. The longitudinal movement is achieved by restraining movement of the scraper mandrel relative to the inner mandrel by contacting the debris with a scraper blade on the outside of the scraper mandrel, causing the scraper mandrel to move longitudinally relative to the inner mandrel.
Drill pipe string conveyed retrievable plug system
A drill pipe string conveyed retrievable plug system has a central through bore. The plug system includes a drill pipe string; a control section; a running tool with a connector at a lower end of a drill pipe string with the control section, and a top connector on a mechanical plug section with a bridge plug. The mechanical plug section includes a mandrel with the through bore, a ball valve arranged for closing the through bore, and a packer sleeve on the mandrel with slips and a packer element. The control section includes an electric supply, an electric control unit, and sensors connected to the electric control unit. The mechanical plug section includes a motor controlled by the electrical control unit. The motor is arranged to turn a selector ring to a selected first rotational position so as for allowing a piston sleeve to slide to an axial first stop position in order for opening to fluid channels through the mandrel from the through bore to the packer sleeve. The pressure in the through bore can be set to the pressure of the packer sleeve in a surrounding casing.
Straddle packer with fluid pressure packer set and automatic stay-set
A straddle packer has a floating auto-J sleeve that automatically shifts the straddle packer from a run-in condition to a stay-set condition after pumping of high-pressure fluid into the straddle packer in excess of a predetermined pump rate is terminated. In the stay set condition, packer elements of the straddle packer remain in sealing contact with a well casing or well bore into which the straddle packer has been run.
Fish retrieval from wellbore
An apparatus includes a housing, engagement slips, a tubular, a taper tap, a pin, and a slip activation member. The housing includes a profile that defines a path including a first end and a second end. The engagement slips are attached to the housing. The tubular passes through an opening of the housing. The taper tap is rotatable and connected to the housing. The pin is connected to the tubular and received by the profile of the housing. The tubular is translatable with respect to the housing based on the pin translating along the path defined by the profile. The slip activation member is connected to the tubular. The slip activation member is configured to move each of the engagement slips radially outward with respect to the housing when the pin translates to the second end of the path.
INTELLIGENT FLOW CONTROL VALVE REVERSE CHOKE POSITION
A mechanical indexer for an intelligent flow control valve comprising a plurality of choke positions is provided. The indexer can cycle from a full closed position, to a full open position, to gradually decreasing choke sizes. The indexer can cycle from a full closed position, to a full open position, to gradually decreasing choke sizes alternating with the full open position. The indexer can cycle from a full closed position, to a full open position, to a full closed position, to a full open position, to gradually decreasing choke sizes alternating with a full open position. The indexer can cycle from a full closed position, to a full open position, to a full closed position, to a full open position, to gradually decreasing choke sizes.
Downhole Component Deployment Method And Apparatus
A system for deploying downhole components includes a housing apparatus comprising a tool chamber configured to house a plurality of downhole tools and a conveyance configured to run the housing apparatus along the wellbore. The housing apparatus is secured to an end of the conveyance. The system for deploying downhole components also includes an actuation mechanism configured to selectively eject individual downhole tools of the plurality of downhole tools from the housing apparatus at respective locations in the wellbore.
DOWNHOLE METHOD AND ASSOCIATED APPARATUS
A circulating downhole tool utilising a variable fluid pressure regulated cycle valve device that can be attached to the borehole assembly BHA of a coiled tubing and used down an offshore or onshore wellbore is disclosed. The circulating downhole tool utilising a variable fluid pressure regulated cycle valve device can be remotely operated by an operator on the surface as many times as required in either the through-flow, intermediary or circulatory modes-of-operation, by simply varying the drilling fluid flow rate and pressure being supplied from the pump located on the surface and interconnected to the coiled tubing and the BHA that will include the circulating downhole tool utilising a variable fluid pressure regulated cycle valve device.
