Patent number: 9650875Abstract: A liner installation system for use in a wellbore having a casing string disposed therein. The system includes a liner string having a liner hanger and a liner top and a setting tool having an expansion cone assembly and a locator cylinder. After running the liner string through the casing string such that at least the liner hanger is positioned within the wellbore casing, the setting tool is run through the casing string until the locator cylinder contacts the liner top. Thereafter, axially moving the expansion cone assembly through the liner string radially expands the liner hanger into contact with the casing string.Type: GrantFiled: December 5, 2013Date of Patent: May 16, 2017Assignee: HALLIBURTON ENERGY SERVICES, INC.Inventors: Alan Tancel Jackson, Abdolreza Gharesi, Steven John Cramp, Ryan Thomas Humphrey

Patent number: 7306042Abstract: Methods for forming a portion of a wellbore are provided. The well is drilled from a first selected depth to a second selected depth to form a bore through a surrounding earth formation. A fluid heating apparatus is disposed within the bore on a working string. Fluid is then heated by moving the fluid through the fluid heating apparatus in the wellbore. The process of circulating fluid adjacent the earth formation serves to also heat the surrounding formation so as to increase the fracture gradient. The fluid heating process may be conducted during a drilling procedure. Alternatively, the fluid heating process may be conducted in connection with a liner hanging and cementing process. A fluid flow restrictor is provided along a run-in assembly that serves to warm the fluids as they are circulated. The warm fluids provide convective heat to the surrounding earth formation, thereby reducing the formation's fracture gradient.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2004Date of Patent: December 11, 2007Assignee: Weatherford/Lamb, Inc.Inventors: R. K. Bansal, David J. Brunnert, Michael Brian Grayson, James Ken Whanger, Evan Lowe, Abdolreza Gharesi, Tim Hanberry
