METHOD OF SIMULTANEOUS INTRODUCING OF TWO OR MORE THAN TWO CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES AND/OR WATER INTO A SUBTERRANEOUS HYDROCARBON FORMATION AND/OR CONTROL OF THE RATE OF CHEMICAL REACTIONS OF THESE SUBSTANCES, AND A DEVICE FOR IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS METHOD
Method of simultaneous introducing of two or more than two chemical substances and/or water into a subterraneous hydrocarbon formation and/or control of the rate of chemical reactions of these substances, and a device for implementation of this method This invention relates to the method of simultaneous introducing of two or more than two chemical substances and/or water into a subterraneous hydrocarbon formation and/or control of rate of chemical reactions of these substances and/or water by introducing their controlled amount into a subterraneous formation containing liquid and/or gaseous hydrocarbons, particularly crude oil, shale gas or natural, below a dedicated packer for exploration and production of these hydrocarbons and simultaneous inserting of a dedicated data cable (3) for interconnection of the measuring and/or regulating components in the wellbore, where the said chemical substances and/or water are supplied into the wellbore at controlled rate through the free casing (5) by means of at least three mutually separated flexible tubing (2a,b) (flexible injection lines) or the combination of these flexible tubing (flexible injection lines) with the solid wellbore tubing, or by means of at least one flexible multi-channel tubing containing inside at least three fix-attached flexible tubing (channels) of smaller diameter leading into the space in the wellbore and/or pay zone below/behind at least one remotely-adjustable packer connected with the well head that, after reaching the required position, seals off space in the wellbore below the packer and the pay zone (16) against the space above the packer in the wellbore and up to the well head. The invention also includes a device for the implementation of this method.
Lattice Seal Packer Assembly And Other Downhole Tools
A downhole tool includes an elongated base pipe and a expandable element disposed on the base pipe and radially expandable from a first configuration to a second configuration. The expandable element includes a first lattice structure that includes a first plurality of connecting members; a second plurality of connecting members movable relative to the first plurality of connecting members to allow the expandable element to radially expand from the first configuration to the second configuration; and a plurality of cells, each of the cells being defined between at least two connecting members. Each of the connecting members from the at least two connecting members is from the first plurality of connecting members or from the second plurality of connecting members. In one or more exemplary embodiments, the first lattice structure is at least partially manufactured using an additive manufacturing process.
Methods and apparatus for use in oil and gas well completion
A first aspect of the invention provides a gas or oil well tubing having an annular packer mounted thereon, wherein the annular packer is formed from an eutectic alloy. By prefabricating the annular packer on the tubing it can be placed in situ from the outset and thus can be active by melting at any time to form a eutectic seal quickly and easily. An annular packer with by-pass conduits is also provided to enable cement to be pumped past the annular packer when it is in situ. The annular packer is further provided with conduit clearance means to clear cement from within the conduits.

Tandem releasable bridge plug system and method for setting such tandem releasable bridge plugs
A method of setting a tandem releasable bridge plug system in a casing includes assembling a tandem bridge plug string including a lower bridge plug on a lower, disconnectable connector, an upper bridge plug on an upper, disconnectable connector which both are initially disabled by a lock and unlockable from topsides, and running in the tandem plug string on a drill pipe string until the lower plug is at its setting target depth; setting and shutting the lower plug; disconnecting the upper plug from the lower plug; pulling up the upper plug to its upper setting target depth; enabling the upper plug by releasing the lock; setting and shutting the upper plug; disconnecting the drill pipe string from the upper plug.

SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR AN EXPANDABLE PACKER
The present disclosure relates to a system that includes a downhole packer assembly that includes an outer skin having a first axial length and an inner packer having a second axial length greater than the first axial length. The inner packer is disposed within the outer skin such that inflation of the inner packer causes the outer skin to expand.
DOWNHOLE WELL TOOLS AND METHODS OF USING SUCH
A downhole tool for use in a gas or oil well is provided. The tool comprising a length of tubing having at least one annular sealing means mounted on the outer surface thereof. The annular sealing means, which are formed from a eutectic/bismuth based alloy, serve to secure the downhole tool in position within an oil or gas well during so that the tool can carry out its function.

System and Method for Isolating a Section of a Well
A technique facilitates servicing of a subterranean formation by treating a specific section of a well. The technique utilizes a straddle packer conveyed downhole and then activated via coiled tubing. The straddle packer comprises a first, e.g. upper, packer and a second, e.g. lower, packer which are deployed downhole into the wellbore to the specific section of the wellbore proximate a target formation zone. Once properly located, the straddle packer is uniquely activated by compression and tension inputs applied via the coiled tubing.
