  • Patent number: 11946336
    Abstract: A method includes deploying a cementing assembly within a wellbore that is at least partially open hole. The method also includes setting the cementing assembly at a target zone of the wellbore by setting a first packer of the cementing assembly downhole of the target zone. The method also includes flowing, through the wellbore string and through the cementing assembly, cement to an annulus at the target zone. The annulus is defined between an exterior surface of the cementing assembly and a wall of the wellbore. The method also includes setting, with the wellbore string, a second packer of the cementing assembly. The second packer is disposed uphole of the first packer and uphole of the target zone.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11448028
    Abstract: Tools and methods are described for removing a packer beyond a restriction in a casing of a wellbore. A packer milling tool includes: a milling body with an outer diameter; milling blocks positioned at intervals around a circumference of the milling body, each milling block pivotably attached to the milling body and pivotable between a running position and a milling position; and a wash pipe extending from a downhole end of the milling body. The milling blocks have a rotational circumference with a rotational diameter that is less than the outer diameter of the milling body when in the running position and the rotational diameter is more than the outer diameter of the milling body and less than the inner diameter of the casing when in the milling position.
