Filed:

Aug 2, 2013

Appl. No.:

13/957816

Inventors:

Zachary W. WALTON - Carrollton TX, US
Matthew T. HOWELL - Duncan OK, US

Assignee:

HALLIBURTON ENERGY SERVICES, INC. - Houston TX

International Classification:

E21B 29/02
E21B 43/26
E21B 34/06

US Classification:

166302

Abstract:

A wellbore isolation device comprises: a substance, wherein the substance: (A) is a plastic; and (B) undergoes a phase transition at a phase transition temperature, wherein the temperature surrounding the wellbore isolation device is increased or allowed to increase to a temperature that is greater than or equal to the phase transition temperature. A method of removing a wellbore isolation device comprises: causing or allowing the temperature surrounding the wellbore isolation device to increase; and allowing at least a portion of the substance to undergo the phase transformation. A method of inhibiting or preventing fluid flow in a wellbore comprises: decreasing the temperature of at least a portion of the wellbore; positioning the wellbore isolation device in the at least a portion of the wellbore; and causing or allowing the temperature surrounding the wellbore isolation device to increase.

International Classification:

E21B 23/04
E21B 33/128

Abstract:

A borehole isolation device. The borehole isolation device may include a body having an outer diameter and an expandable ring. The expandable ring may be configured to expand from a first outer diameter that is approximately equal to or smaller than the outer diameter of the body to a second outer diameter that is greater than the outer diameter of the body when a fluid is flowed past the expandable ring in the borehole.

Abstract:

An example sliding sleeve assembly includes a body that defines an inner flow passageway and one or more ports. One or more sensors are positioned on the body to detect wellbore projectiles that traverse the inner flow passageway, and a sliding sleeve is arranged within the body and movable between a closed position, where the sliding sleeve occludes the one or more ports, and an open position, where one or more ports are exposed. A flapper valve is arranged within the body and movable between an open configuration, where the flapper valve allows fluid flow through the inner flow passageway, and a closed configuration, where the flapper valve seats against a flapper seat defined on the sliding sleeve and prevents fluid flow through the inner flow passageway. An actuation sleeve is arranged within the body and movable to allow the flapper valve to move to the closed configuration.

Abstract:

Sliding sleeve assemblies including a completion body with an inner flow passageway and one or more ports enabling fluid communication between the inner flow passageway and an exterior of the completion body. A sliding sleeve is arranged within the completion body and has a sleeve mating profile defined on an inner surface, the sliding sleeve being movable between a closed position, where the one or more ports are occluded, and an open position, where the one or more ports are exposed. A plurality of wellbore darts are used and each has a body and a common dart profile that is matable with the sleeve mating profile. One or more sensors are positioned on the completion body to detect the plurality of wellbore darts traversing the inner flow passageway. An actuation sleeve is arranged within the completion body and movable to expose the sleeve mating profile.
