  • Publication number: 20210277736
    Abstract: An operation may require isolation of a wellbore using multiple barriers. A single-run multiple barrier system may be deployed in a wellbore to position a first barrier at a first depth and a second barrier at second depth above the first barrier in the wellbore during a single run of a wellbore tubular string. The first barrier is coupled to a first miming tool. A wellbore tubular string segment couples the first miming tool is coupled to the second barrier. The second barrier is coupled to a second running tool that couples to the wellbore tubular string. The second barrier is locked until the first barrier is independently set at the first depth to prevent the second barrier from being set until the second depth is reached. Setting both barriers in a single run increases efficiency in an operation including reducing costs and time for completion of the operation.

  • Patent number: 9428976
    Abstract: A wellbore servicing system, comprising a sleeve system comprising a ported case, a sliding sleeve within the case and movable between a first sleeve position in which the sleeve restricts fluid communication via the case and a second sleeve position in which the sleeve does not, a radially divided segmented seat movable between a first seat position in which the seat restricts movement of the sleeve and a second seat position in which the seat does not, and a sheath covering a portion of the seat, the sleeve system being transitionable from a first, to a second, to a third mode, in the first mode, the sleeve is in its first position and the seat in its first position, in the second mode, the sleeve is in its first position and the seat in its second position, and, in the third mode, the sleeve is in its second position.

  • Patent number: 9175533
    Abstract: This invention particularly relates to improving the engagement of the slip elements within a casing or tubing. Particularly, the invention is directed to improving the penetration of anchors on slip elements to better set downhole tools. Generally, in one aspect, the invention relies on decreasing the contact surface of the cutting edge of the anchor during the initial penetration of the anchor into the casing.

  • Patent number: 8668016
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a wellbore servicing system, comprising a tubular string, a first sleeve system incorporated within the tubular string, the first sleeve system comprising a first sliding sleeve at least partially carried within a first ported case, the first sleeve system being selectively restricted from movement relative to the first ported case by a first restrictor while the first restrictor is enabled, and a first delay system configured to selectively restrict movement of the first sliding sleeve relative to the first ported case while the first restrictor is disabled; a second sleeve system incorporated within the tubular string, the second sleeve system comprising a second sliding sleeve at least partially carried within a second ported case, the second sleeve system being selectively restricted from movement relative to the second ported case by a second restrictor while the second restrictor is enabled.

  • Publication number: 20120255723
    Abstract: A slip for use in the anchoring of a downhole tool in a well casing is provided. The slip's outer diameter is about equal to the inner diameter of the well casing. The slip is positioned about a mandrel and radially expands upon the application of force. The wickers on the slip deformably engage the casing in response to a force.
