Patent number: 11952876Abstract: A system includes a well fluid diversion assembly configured to pump a volume of wellbore fluid from a first well to a second well of a single drilling or production platform or of different drilling or production platforms. The diversion assembly includes a first flexible tubing releasably connected to an outlet valve of a wellhead assembly of the first well and a second flexible tubing releasably connected to a wellhead assembly of the second well. The diversion assembly also includes a flowmeter and a sampling valve configured to selectively flow a portion of the volume to a fluid sampling port.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2022Date of Patent: April 9, 2024Assignee: Saudi Arabian Oil CompanyInventors: Ahmed Abdulaziz Al-Mousa, Saad M. Budair, Ali A. Alsaud

Patent number: 11933174Abstract: A system includes a milling assembly with a mill bit and a drill string that mills a new wellbore section. The system further includes a whipstock assembly that is formed by a reamer shoe that reams an obstruction in a wellbore, a whipstock that deflects the milling assembly away from the wellbore, and a bypass valve mechanism that guides a fluid to circulate through the reamer shoe. Within the system, the milling assembly is fluidly connected to the whipstock assembly.Type: GrantFiled: February 25, 2022Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: SAUDI ARABIAN OIL COMPANYInventors: Ahmed Abdulaziz Al-Mousa, Saad M. Budair, Linlin Wang

Patent number: 11913297Abstract: A system includes a tubular body, a pressure actuated circulation valve, a first power section, an isolation valve, and a housing. The pressure actuated circulation valve is connected to the tubular body. The first power section is configured to rotate when a fluid is pumped from the pressure actuated circulation valve. The isolation valve is connected to the first power section. The isolation valve comprises a plurality of openings each having a different area and the fluid is exposed to a plurality of different flow path areas. The housing is connected to the isolation valve and comprises a set of springs connected to a piston. The set of springs are configured to pulsate the piston in response to the fluid being pumped through the plurality of different flow path areas and pulsation of the piston creates an axial force acting on the tubular body.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 2022Date of Patent: February 27, 2024Assignee: SAUDI ARABIAN OIL COMPANYInventors: Abdullah H. Alotaibi, Saad M. Budair, Hezam H. Alhajri

Publication number: 20230374886Abstract: An assembly includes a cement retainer, a unidirectional flow valve, and an upper stinger. The cement retainer is adapted to be mounted in the casing string. The cement retainer has a retainer aperture extending longitudinally therethrough from a retainer top end to a retainer bottom end. The unidirectional flow valve is configured to selectively control flow of fluid through the retainer aperture and is housed within the cement retainer. The upper stinger is configured to be removably retained within the retainer aperture. The upper stinger has an upper stinger aperture extending longitudinally therethrough from an upper stinger top end to an upper stinger bottom end. The upper stinger comprises an opening that provides a fluid flow path from an interior of the casing string to the upper stinger aperture when the upper stinger is removed from the cement retainer.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 31, 2023Publication date: November 23, 2023Applicant: SAUDI ARABIAN OIL COMPANYInventors: Ahmed Abdulaziz Al-Mousa, Saad M.

Publication number: 20230349258Abstract: A packer protection system is disclosed. The packer protection system includes a swellable packer disposed along a tubular and a packer protection apparatus disposed around the swellable packer. The packer protection apparatus includes a shell body, a first connection mechanism provided on the shell body, and a second connection mechanism provided on the shell body, where the first connection mechanism and the second connection mechanism interlock. The packer protection apparatus also includes a shear pin removably fitted through the first connection mechanism and the second connection mechanism and at least one fluid port provided in the shell body. The shell body extends entirely around the swellable packer to create a sealed chamber between an inner surface of the shell body and an outer surface of the swellable packer.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 29, 2022Publication date: November 2, 2023Applicant: SAUDI ARABIAN OIL COMPANYInventors: Ahmed A.
