International Classification:

E21B023/06

US Classification:

166/181000, 166/123000

Abstract:

A releasing mechanism for releasing a hydraulically actuated setting tool from a downhole tool is provided. Preferably, the downhole tool to be released is a wellbore sealing tool such as a bridge plug, packer or inflatable packer. The releasing mechanism comprises an adapter having a body, a connector above the body connected to the setting tool, and a lower portion. The releasing mechanism further comprises a releasable connection which releasably connects the lower portion of the adapter to a mandrel within the bridge plug or other sealing tool. In one embodiment, the releasable connection defines a frangible body disposed within the plane of the circumferential bore of the bridge plug mandrel. In another arrangement, the releasable connection defines both a frangible body and threaded collet fingers which releasably engage matching threads on the outer surface of the mandrel of the bridge plug or other wellbore sealing tool.

International Classification:

E21B 47/06
G01V 9/00

Abstract:

A method is provided for monitoring the occurrence of pressure anomalies due to FDI in near real time during a hydraulic fracturing operation carried out on an active well that is located near one or more passive monitoring wells. The method includes the steps of obtaining raw pressure sensor data from the one or more passive monitoring wells, processing the pressure sensor data with the FDI analysis module, and determining if the rate of change for averaged pressure sensor data exceeds a preset threshold value that indicates the likelihood of a pressure anomaly. The methods can be configured to autonomously alert an operator of the likelihood of a pressure anomaly and with guidance on resolving the anomalies.

International Classification:

E21B 49/00

Abstract:

A system and method to determine health prognostics for selection and management of a tool for deployment in a downhole environment are described. The system includes a database to store life cycle information of the tool, the life cycle information including environmental and operational parameters associated with use of the tool. The system also includes a memory device to store statistical equations to determine the health prognostics of the tool, and a processor to calibrate the statistical equations and build a time-to-failure model of the tool based on a first portion of the life cycle information in the database.
