  • Patent number: 9920613
    Abstract: A method (50) and an assembly (10) for milling an obstruction disposed within a wellbore (W) includes a milling module (12) having a motor (22) rotating a milling bit (14), a first electronics cartridge (26) for controlling the motor based upon a motor torque value, a tractor module (16, 18) for engaging with the wellbore and providing a push force against the wellbore to urge the milling assembly in a direction of the milling bit, and a second electronics cartridge (28) for controlling a push force value of tractor module. The method involves rotating the milling bit (54) and engaging the tractor module with the wellbore (56), and adjusting, iteratively, the operation (58) based on a calculated torque value and a calculated push force value to maintain the calculated values at around a target torque value and below a push force limit value (66, 70).

  • Patent number: 9359846
    Abstract: A hydraulic setting tool. The tool is configured to allow hydraulic setting of a bridge plug, packer or other radially expansive mechanical well isolation mechanism. Wireline or slickline deployment may be utilized. In either case, parameters of the setting application may be recorded. In the case of wireline deployment such parameters and downhole data may be monitored in real-time allowing an operator to make intelligent setting application adjustments as necessary.

  • Publication number: 20160032711
    Abstract: An apparatus for measuring at least one of downhole position and velocity. The apparatus includes a body. A roller is connected with the body, and a plurality of sensors is connected with the body. The plurality of sensors can acquire roller data and wellbore data. The roller data and wellbore data can be used to determine at least one of the velocity and position of the apparatus. The apparatus can also have an electronic module that is in communication with the plurality of of sensors.
