  • Patent number: 10801274
    Abstract: Extendable elements of downhole tools are provided having an extension direction component perpendicular to a tool axis, wherein a force is applied to the extendable element when in operation. The extendable elements comprise a first cross-section that includes the extension direction component, a first surface configured to receive a first force component of the force, the first force component substantially perpendicular to the first surface and a second surface configured to transfer at least a portion of the first force component of the force to a body of the downhole tool. The second surface and the extension direction component perpendicular to the tool axis draw a first angle that is between 0° and 90°.

  • Patent number: 10760382
    Abstract: Systems and methods to perform a downhole operations in a borehole comprising moving, using surface equipment, an inner structure and an outer structure within the borehole, the outer structure equipped with an interaction device and the inner structure configured to be moved relative to the outer structure in a direction parallel to the borehole by the surface equipment, transmitting, by a transmitter, a downlink instruction to the inner structure, and performing an interaction routine with the interaction device in response to the downlink instruction, wherein the interaction routine comprises an interaction at least partially outside of the outer structure to perform the downhole operation.

  • Patent number: 10329861
    Abstract: System and methods for engaging and disengaging running tools with a liner in a downhole system are described herein. The system and methods include a liner disposed in a borehole, the liner having at least one running tool engagement section, a running tool disposed within the liner, the running tool having at least one engagement module that is operable from a disengaged position to an engaged position and that is operable from an engaged position to a disengaged position, and an electronic device disposed at least one of in or on the engagement module.
