  • Patent number: 11371310
    Abstract: An inflatable packer assembly may include a housing and a shifting sleeve disposed within the housing. The shifting sleeve may have one or more sleeve ports formed therein. An actuator may be coupled with the shifting sleeve. The actuator may be electrically actuated between a plurality of positions. One or more inflatable packers may be coupled with the housing, the housing having one or more ports formed therein. Actuation of the actuator may shift the shifting sleeve in order for the one or more sleeve ports to enter into fluid communication with the one or more ports of the housing in order to inflate or deflate the inflatable packers.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 23, 2018
    Date of Patent: June 28, 2022
    Assignee: HALLIBURTON ENERGY SERVICES, INC.

  • Patent number: 8978775
    Abstract: A wellbore servicing system including a work string and a valve tool defining an flowbore, wherein the valve tool is transitionable from a first mode to a second mode, from the second mode to a third mode, and from the third mode to a fourth mode, wherein the valve tool transitions from the first mode to the second mode upon an application of pressure to the flowbore of at least a threshold pressure, wherein the valve tool transitions from the second mode to the third mode upon a dissipation of pressure from the flowbore to not more than the threshold pressure, and wherein, in the first mode, the valve tool allows fluid communication via the flowbore in a first direction and disallows fluid communication in a second direction. Further, in the second, and third modes, the valve tool allows fluid communication in both the first and second directions.
