International Classification:

E21B 1900

US Classification:

166378, 166379, 166 772, 1662426

Abstract:

A well tool assembly interconnection method is provided. In a described embodiment, a continuous tubing string has connectors positioned corresponding to desired locations for tool assemblies in a well. The tubing string is wrapped on a reel and transported to a well. As the tubing string is deployed from the reel into the well, the tool assemblies are interconnected between the connectors.

Assignee:

Halliburton Company - Dallas TX

International Classification:

E21B 4700

US Classification:

73151

Abstract:

A downhole inspection tool is attached to the lower end of a length of coiled tubing having an electrical/fiberoptic cable threaded through the center. The coiled tubing carries a flow of optically clear and/or acoustically homogeneous fluid from a supply of such fluid at the surface. The tool itself includes a cable head subassembly module attached to the lower end of the coiled tubing and terminates the electrical and optical conductors within the cable. An inspection module for producing an electrical signal indicative of downhole conditions is detachably connected to the lower end of the cable head assembly module. An outer flow tube is mechanically connected to the inspection module and surrounds both of the modules to define an annular space therebetween. The flow tube has its upper end fluid coupled to the coiled tubing for conducting the flow of the optically clear and/or acoustically homogeneous fluid down along the annular space and out the lower end of the tool to create a region conducive to inspection by the tool.

International Classification:

E21B 33127

US Classification:

166185

Abstract:

A resettable well stimulation tool is lowerable into a well bore on a length of tubing through which pressurized fluid may be forced into the tool to inflate a packer portion carried by the tool and then discharge a stimulation fluid into a portion of the well bore sealed off by the packer portion. During the inflation cycle of the tool pressurized fluid is forced downwardly into an annular tool body inflation chamber that communicates with an inflatable packer carried by the tool body. A perforated tube member coaxially carried in the inflation chamber serves to vertically distribute the inflation pressure along the length of the packer and assure its even inflation. In a straddle packer embodiment of the tool inflation and stimulation passages extend internally through the tool and are sealingly separated by an internal crossover structure, with the inflation passage being in communication with upper and lower packer members. The internal inflation passage eliminates the previous necessity of communicating the upper and lower packers with inflation tubing externally coiled around the tool body. A longitudinally intermediate portion of the tool body has a telescoping expansion joint portion to compensate for the longitudinal forces exerted on the body by inflation of the packers.
