Patent number: 10480268Abstract: Aspects of the present disclosure include a system and a method for sealing at least one opening of a wellbore equipment arranged in a wellbore of a subterranean formation in order to improve the recovery of formation fluids and/or gases. The method includes the steps of positioning a metal patch between the wellbore equipment and a shock wave generation device. The metal patch faces the at least one opening to be sealed and the method further including generating, using a shock wave generation device, at least one electrical discharge into said wellbore in order to propagate toward said metal patch at least one shock wave adapted to deform and fix the metal patch onto the wellbore equipment, sealing therefore the at least one opening.Type: GrantFiled: May 25, 2016Date of Patent: November 19, 2019Assignee: Blue Spark Energy Inc.Inventors: Todd Parker, Shawn Carroll
