Abstract: A tubular segment that has openings that are initially closed so that pressure can be conducted through the segment has the ability to open the segments by making a degradable material unblock the openings to facilitate another completion operation or production. Some applications include a slotted liner with a screen where an intermediate layer of a controlled electrolytic material initially allows the structure to conduct pressure and then after degradation allows access through the screen and the slotted liner for production. Other variations can be simply using slotted liner where the slots are closed for running it to allow circulation and then opened for production or other completion steps. The transformation can take place over time using available well fluids or it can take place with induced well conditions at the location that are initiated from the surface or locally at the location.

Abstract: An apparatus and method for restricting fluid flow with a seat assembly. The seat is configured to go from a first position, in which it is adapted to engage a plug element, to a second position, in which the plug element passes through the seat. A second portion of the seat, and alternatively of a housing in which the seat is disposed, is formed of a disintegrable material. The second portion of the seat and housing comprising the disintegrable material are isolated from a fluid flow when engaged with the seat.

Abstract: A bottom hole assembly comprises a milling tool and associated drive motor with a shifting tool that is capable on deployment to selectively grab, shift and release from sliding sleeves when the bottom hole assembly is removed from the subterranean location. The shifting tool is preferably protected from the returning flow of cuttings to avoid erosion or clogging from the cuttings being circulated to the surface. The shifter tool can be of a known design to enable the milling of ball seats or entire plugs in the same trip as the operation of the sliding sleeve valves associated with the treatment operation so that the well can then be in position to commence production or injection once a suitable string and service packer are set in position. Typically the sleeves are open for the treatment and then closed after milling as the bottom hole assembly is removed.

Abstract: Wellbore devices for use in filtration, wellbore isolation, production control, lifecycle management and wellbore construction may include at least a first and a second shape-memory material each having an altered geometric position and each an original geometric position. Each shape-memory material may include a polyurethane material held in the altered geometric run-in position at a temperature below glass transition temperature (Tg), where the Tgs and/or the respective slope changes of the first and second polyurethane materials are different. Once the wellbore device is in place downhole and the first and second shape-memory materials are subjected to temperatures above their Tgs, the materials will deploy and expand to recovered geometric positions at or near their original geometric positions to perform their filtration, isolation, control or other function. These deployments or expansions may occur at different times or rates.
