  • Publication number: 20240133255
    Abstract: A method for removing a flapper seat assembly that is replaceable from a safety valve positioned downhole in a wellbore is described herein. For example, the safety valve is positioned downhole in a wellbore and can include a housing. Additionally, the safety valve can include a flow tube coupled to a downhole tool. The flow tube can be removed from the safety valve in response to a first force applied by the downhole tool. A first tool profile can be coupled to a first assembly profile for coupling the downhole tool to the flapper seat assembly after removing the flow tube. A second assembly profile can be detached from a housing profile to remove the flapper seat assembly from the wellbore in response to a second force applied by the downhole tool. After removing the flapper seat assembly, a second flapper seat assembly can be attached to the safety valve.

  • Publication number: 20240125230
    Abstract: Systems and methods of the present disclosure relate to control of a downhole tool via at least one radio isotope. The radio isotope(s) is pumped from the surface to contact an isotopic analyzer of the tool. The isotopic analyzer reads the isotope and directs the tool to perform a specific action(s) in the wellbore based on the type of isotope read by the analyzer.

  • Patent number: 11959353
    Abstract: Multiple layers of a seal can be formed to pressure-seal an open-hole wellbore in a subterranean formation. The seal can include at least one element and a sealing mixture between the element and a container housing for pressure sealing the open-hole wellbore between the element and the container housing and for providing multiple layers of seal in the open-hole wellbore. The seal can be retained by the sealing mixture subsequent to the sealing mixture being released.

  • Patent number: 11286737
    Abstract: Certain aspects and features of the disclosure relate to a hydraulic connector for use in a wellbore, for example, with or as part of a disconnect tool. The hydraulic connector can isolate hydraulic fluids in upper and lower hydraulic lines using hydraulic pistons. The pistons in the upper and lower parts of the hydraulic connector interconnect mechanically when the connector is engaged and communicate pressure without transferring hydraulic fluid across the interface. The hydraulic fluid can therefore remain confined within the upper and lower hydraulic lines even when the disconnect tool is disengaged, reducing or eliminating incidents of hydraulic fluid leaking or spilling into the wellbore.

  • Publication number: 20220025732
    Abstract: A tubular control conduit is disposed in a wellbore having a retractable segment and an abandonable segment, each having an inner bore. Upon retraction of the retractable segment an obstruction member is actuated to form a seal thereby preventing the flow of fluid past the obstruction member in the inner bore of the abandoned segment. Cement is then poured into the wellbore thereby covering the abandoned segment of the tubular control conduit.
