Patent number: 8844615Abstract: A mechanism for pressurized delivery of material into a well without exposure to a high pressure pump. The mechanism may include material delivery equipment that is coupled to the high pressure pump or other pressure inducing equipment through a material carrier that intersects a fluid line from the pump. The material carrier may include chambers that are reciprocated or rotated between positions that are isolated from the fluid line and in communication with the fluid line. While isolated from the fluid line, the chambers may be filled with oilfield material which may then be delivered to the fluid line when positioned in communication therewith. In this manner, a supply of the oilfield material may be retained in a substantially isolated state relative to the pump and components thereof which may be susceptible to damage from exposure to the oilfield material.Type: GrantFiled: June 29, 2007Date of Patent: September 30, 2014Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Rajesh Luharuka, Rod Shampine, Joe Hubenschmidt, Philippe Gambier, Brian Ochoa, Thomas Allan, Michael D.

Publication number: 20140166275Abstract: A method and/or a system determines mechanical properties of a fluid-bearing formation. One or more packers may be used to measure and/or collect data regarding mechanical properties of a formation. The formation characteristics may be, for example, the stability of the formation, design parameters for frac-pack/gravel-pack operations, and sand production. The packer may expand within a wellbore of a formation until enough pressure is applied to fracture a wall of the wellbore. Before, during and/or after the fracturing of the wall, multiple measurements may be taken by the packer. After fractures are initiated, fluid may be pumped into and/or drawn from the formation using drains disposed on the packer. Additional packers may be used above and/or below the packer for isolating intervals of the wellbore.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2013Publication date: June 19, 2014Applicant: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Pierre-Yves Corre, Jean-Louis Pessin, Julian Pop
