Abstract: A technique that is usable with a well includes running a screen assembly and a service tool as a unit into a well and using the service tool in connection with a sand control operation. The use of the service tool in connection with the sand control operation includes operating at least one valve of the screen assembly. The technique includes withdrawing the service tool from the well after the sand control operation and running a completion into the well to operate the valve(s) of the screen after the withdrawal.

Abstract: An apparatus for use in a well includes a flow control assembly to control fluid flow in a first zone of the well, where the flow control assembly has a fixed flow control device and an adjustable flow control device that cooperate to control the fluid flow in the first zone.

Abstract: A system that is usable with a well includes a tubular member and an inflow control device. The screen receives a well fluid flow, and the tubular member has a well fluid communication passageway. The inflow control device changes a momentum of the well fluid flow and/or introduces a flow resistance to regulate a pressure of the well fluid. The number of momentum changes and/or the flow resistance may be changed while the inflow control device is deployed downhole in the well.

Abstract: An integral polished bore assembly for use in a wellbore includes a barrel having a polished bore; at least one no-go member positioned within the barrel; an elongated locator member having a sealing head and an end, the end extending out of the barrel; and a radial port formed through the barrel.

Abstract: A technique is provided for completing a subterranean wellbore. A wellbore completion combines a distributed sensing system, such as a distributed temperature sensing system, with at least one flow control valve and a pumping system. The flow control valve is controllable without the need for intervention or with low-cost intervention.

Abstract: A tubing string including a tubing and an isolation valve is run into a well, where the tubing string is configured to receive an electrical pump. A first wet connect portion of the tubing string is engaged with a corresponding second wet connect portion that is part of a downhole completion section. A toolstring including the electrical pump is run into an inner bore of the tubing for engagement inside the tubing string. Removal of the toolstring including the electrical pump is enabled without removing the tubing string due to presence of the isolation valve.

Abstract: To determine fluid flow information associated with a well, data from plural discrete temperature sensors in zones without radial fluid flow in the well are received. The fluid flow information associated with the well is derived by combining the received data from the plural discrete temperature sensors with reservoir data that is independent of the fluid flow. That information can be further enhanced by monitoring the changes of temperature data over time.

Abstract: The present invention provides for high volume flow from a well. A retrievable formation isolation valve allows high volume flow through the remaining casing or tubing. Alternatively, a large bore valve configuration that is not retrieved, but remains as part of the casing, can be used. The present invention also includes methods to allow for high volume flow using retrievable isolation valves or large bore valves.

Abstract: A technique is provided to facilitate use of a service tool at a downhole location. The service tool has different operational configurations that can be selected and used without moving the service string.

Abstract: The present invention provides for an annular barrier tool to block or restrict the flow of well fluids in the annular region of a well.

Abstract: A completion assembly for use in a well, including at least one inflatable packer; at least one control line and at least one source of pressurized fluid wherein the at least one source of pressurized fluid is in fluid communication with the at least one inflatable packer via the at least one control line.

Abstract: A completion assembly has one or more control lines. The control lines can develop differing degrees of slack depending on the completion assembly configuration and also on the particular use of the completion assembly. A line slack compensator cooperates with the completion assembly to provide or remove slack in one or more control lines as necessary for a given operation and a given completion assembly.

Abstract: The present invention provides for a valve in a tubing string that allows the tubing string to fill with well fluids as the string is assembled and lowered into a well bore, but can be used to check pressure integrity of the tubing string during various stages of the assembly.

Abstract: An actuator module that is usable with a subterranean well includes a housing, a stimulus detector and an actuator. The stimulus detector and the actuator are mounted to the housing, and the housing is adapted to form a releasable connection with a tubular string. The string has a downhole tool, and the housing is separate from the tool when the housing is connected to the string. The stimulus detector detects communication of a command-encoded stimulus downhole, and the actuator actuates the tool in response to the stimulus.

Abstract: A control line can be positioned in a downhole completion. For example, the control line can be deployed in a protected position along a stinger to reduce the potential for damaging the control line during installation, removal or operation.

Abstract: A well system utilizes a control line system. The control line system is implemented with a completion of the type deployed in a wellbore. The control line system facilitates transmission of monitoring, command or other types of control and telemetry. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract which will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. 37 CFR 1.72(b).

Abstract: The invention is a system and method used to seal between an open wellbore and a tubing by bringing the wellbore wall inwardly so as to enable sections of earth from the wellbore wall to create the required seal against the tubing. The earth sections that make up the seal can be created by collapsing the relevant parts of the wellbore wall inwardly or by causing the relevant parts of the wellbore wall to swell inwardly.

Abstract: The multiple interventionless actuated downhole valve includes a valve movable between an open and a closed position to control communication between an annular region surrounding the valve and an internal bore and more specifically controlling communication between above and below the valve, and at least two remotely operated interventionless actuators in operational connection with the valve, wherein each of the interventionless actuators may be operated independently by absolute tubing pressure, absolute annulus pressure, differential pressure from the tubing to the annulus, differential pressure between the annulus and the tubing, tubing or annulus multiple pressure cycles, pressure pulses, acoustic telemetry, electromagnetic telemetry or other types of wireless telemetry to change the position of the valve and allowing the valve to be continually operated by mechanical apparatus.
