Abstract: A decomposable sealing device is described for use in liquid-filled pipes or boreholes, which is characterised in that the sealing device comprises a sleeve-shaped element (19) which envelops a number of strata (5, 7, 9) completely or partly in the pipe's radial and a longitudinal direction, comprising layered division of a number of decomposable strata (5, 7, 9) and a number of closed liquid-filled chambers (16) arranged between the strata (5, 7, 9) and where the sleeve-shaped element (19) comprises a body (2) which can be rearranged to establish connection between the respective chambers (16) and one or more grooves (14) in the inner wall of a pipe. A method for decomposing the sealing device is also described.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an activating mechanism (200) for guiding and controlling a downhole tool (100) and/or subsea equipment employed in connection with recovery of hydrocarbons. The activating mechanism (200) comprises an annular sleeve (21) provided with non-through-going recesses (22, 24) in the material of the annular sleeve (21), where separate replaceable elements are provided in the recesses (22, 24) to act as a pump (P), piston (S1), reservoirs (R1, R2), movable slide (S2) and pistons (25a, 25b), where these elements create a closed fluid circuit which on being subjected to a number of cyclical loads will open up a connection between the pistons (25a, 25b). A method for controlling the activating mechanism (200) is also presented.

Abstract: A method for detonation of a plug device in a fluid environment is described, which is in contact with a body, such as an ignition pellet, and it is characterised in that a number of pressure increases are exerted against the plug device, whereby each pressure increase causes a movement of a piston (10) which is radially arranged in a casing (12), which causes the casing (12) to move a fixed distance inward in the plug device with each pressure increase, up until the displacement of the casing (12) causes the piston to be displaced into a cavity (38), and the fluid environment enters the plug device via an inlet. Also described is a plug device which is in contact with a body, such as an ignition pellet, where the plug device is arranged to detonate after a number of pressure increases that are exerted against the plug device.
