US Patent:

20210332662, Oct 28, 2021

Filed:

Dec 26, 2018

Appl. No.:

16/614638

Inventors:

- Houston TX, US
Clint Adam BROWN - Houston TX, US
Gregory Scott CUNNINGHAM - Spring TX, US

Assignee:

HALLIBURTON ENERGY SERVICES, INC. - Houston TX

International Classification:

E21B 33/12

Abstract:

A seal including a first metal component; a second metal component couplable with the first metal component; and a shape memory alloy having a first state and a second state, the first state and the second state being different in at least one dimension, wherein in response to an external stimulus, the shape memory alloy transitions in one or more dimension from the first state to the second state thereby forming at least one metal-to-metal seal.

International Classification:

E21B 47/06
E21B 47/01
E21B 47/10
E21B 33/12

Abstract:

A spoolable array of sensors may be deployed within a wellbore and external a tubular string for measuring properties of a fluid in the central flow passage of the tubular string. A flow port may be made in the tubular string passing from the central flow passage to the external surface. Sensors of the spoolable array of sensors may be covered with a shroud and placed proximate the flow port, or such sensors may be isolated in a zone with packers along with the flow port. The spoolable array of sensors may additionally obtain pressure data to calculate a flow rate from a production zone. The spoolable array of sensors may also be employed in a non-flowing wellbore for monitoring nearby wellbores.

- Houston TX, US
Ralph J. Robert - Spring TX, US

Paul A. Haines - Montgomery TX, US

International Classification:

E21B 49/00
E21B 43/16
E21B 47/06
E21B 33/122

Abstract:

A pressure test system for use in downhole fluid injection includes a shear plug assembly disposed along a flow path defined in a sump housing. The sump housing also includes a sump cavity positioned downstream of the shear plug assembly. A shear element of the shear plug assembly secures the shear plug assembly in a first position within the flow path, so that the shear plug assembly blocks fluid flow through the sump housing. Following a pressure test, fluid pressure on the shear plug assembly may be increased until the shear element of the shear plug assembly shears, after which, the pressurized fluid drives the shear plug assembly into the sump cavity, permitting flow to bypass the sump cavity through bypass channels. The bypass channels and other flow paths may be arranged to function as a pressure wave muffler in order to protect pressure sensitive components after shear out.

International Classification:

E21B 34/08
E21B 37/06

Abstract:

Apparatuses and methods for pressure regulating check valve assemblies are described. In an example, the check valve assembly comprises a housing defining a fluid passage having a fluid inlet side and a fluid outlet side. A first check valve positioned within the fluid passage oriented to restrict fluid flow from the fluid inlet side and a second check valve positioned within the fluid passage oriented to restrict fluid flow from the fluid outlet side. A flow dampener is positioned within the fluid passage and between the first and second check valves.
