A dump bailer includes a bailer body defining an interior space for conveying cement slurry downhole. A dump release mechanism is operatively connected to the bailer body for releasing cement slurry from the interior space. An agitator is operatively connected to the bailer body for agitating cement slurry in the interior space. In general, in another aspect, the disclosed embodiments relate to a method of delivering cement slurry to a downhole position in a well bore. The method includes a running a bailer downhole in a well bore, wherein cement slurry is housed within the bailer. The method includes agitating the cement slurry within the bailer and releasing the cement slurry from the bailer into the well bore.

An actuator is provided that includes a housing, a linear actuating shaft disposed within the housing, a piston coupled with the shaft, and a fluid barrier disposed on an end of the shaft and encircled by the piston. The piston is movable longitudinally between an extended configuration and a retracted configuration upon rotation of the shaft. The fluid barrier engages an inner surface of the piston preventing fluid communication across the fluid barrier. The fluid barrier has a shaft engaging side which receives the shaft and a fluid facing side. A cavity is formed between the piston and the fluid facing side and expands when the piston moves to the extended configuration and contracts when the piston moves to the retracted configuration. A port is disposed in the piston and extends from the cavity to external the piston thereby permitting fluid communication between the cavity and external the piston.

A system and method for injecting bailer content utilizing a dump bailer having an elongated, flexible bailer receptacle secured between a head assembly and an injection assembly. Disposed within the dump bailer are first and second piston assemblies, each of which includes a piston having a central fluid passage with a pressure actuated flow control mechanism in the form of a rupture disk disposed along the fluid passage of the piston. An electric, positive displacement pump within the head assembly draws wellbore fluid into the dump bailer assembly to drive the first piston assembly towards the second piston assembly so as to release bailer content into a wellbore. The elongated flexible bailer receptacle may be a hose stored on a bailer receptacle reel, which hose may be paid out by the reel to a length that corresponds with a volume of bailer content to be released into the wellbore.

A downhole tool includes a main body, and a setting member configured to press the main body radially outwards so as to set the main body with the surrounding tubular, made at least partially from a dissolvable material configured to dissolve in a well fluid, and defining a bore therein. The tool also includes an acid pill positioned in the bore of the setting member. The acid pill contains an acid therein, and is made at least partially from a dissolvable material configured to dissolve in the well fluid such that the acid mixes with the well fluid upon the acid pill at least partially dissolving. The acid mixed in the well fluid increases a rate at which the dissolvable material of the setting member dissolves in the well fluid.

A chemical capsule joint having a chemical capsule filled with a chemical that is to be released into a casing string to which the chemical capsule joint is deployed in a wellbore after an end of the chemical capsule joint if drilled up. The chemical capsule joint allows continuation of cementing operation until an end of the chemical capsule joint is drilled up to release the chemical from the chemical capsule in the chemical capsule joint. The chemical is them freed from the chemical capsule and allowed to leach into production fluids in the casing string to which the chemical capsule joint is deployed in a well bore.

A wiper plug can be used in wellbore operations. The wiper plug can include a fishing neck located at a rear portion of the plug. The fishing neck can be a male or female fishing neck. A corresponding male or female fishing tool can be used to retrieve the wiper plug from a tubing string. The wiper plug can include a nose that can land on a landing tool or a female fishing neck of another wiper plug. The wiper plug can be introduced into the tubing string before or after a cement composition. The wiper plug can include a rupture disk that allows an operator at a wellhead to observe a pressure change to indicate the location of the wiper plug and fluid within the tubing string.
