  • Method and apparatus for bringing under control an uncontrolled flow through a flow device
    Patent number: 10513912
    Abstract: A machine includes a spindle for storing wire, a wire passage structure having an interface coupline, a controllable drive system, a control system, and a pressure-resistant housing. The drive system is configured to feed the wire through the wire passage structure and through the interface coupling, under the control of the control system. The housing encloses the wire passage structure, the controllable drive system, and at least a portion of the control system.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 31, 2017
    Date of Patent: December 24, 2019
    Inventors: Alexander Henry Slocum, Folkers Eduardo Rojas

  • Apparatus and method for sand consolidation
    Patent number: 8789595
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for preventing the migration of unconsolidated and/or loosely consolidated material into the wellbore. Such prevention is accomplished by introducing a well treatment comprising an expandable deployable structure into an uncosolidated zone proximate the wellbore. These deployable structures are inserted into the voids of the geological formation and using stored mechanical energy convert from an unexpanded or undeployed state to an expanded or deployed state. These deployable structures can exert forces, pressure or a combination of both in multiple directions on the surrounding media.
