  • Publication number: 20170107790
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an inflow control device for controlling the flow of fluid into a tubular deployed in a. wellbore comprising coupling between joints of tubulars. The inflow control device is mounted transversely through the coupling in any inflow can control devices the initial condition fluid flow between the exterior and interior of the tubular is prevented. As sufficient pressure is exerted upon the inflow control device from the interior of the tubular the inflow control device is actuated to allow fluid flow between the interior and exterior the tubular. A nozzle in the inflow control device allows fluid to pass at a preset rate. The present invention furthermore relates to a method of assembling an inflow control device according to the invention and to a completion system comprising an inflow control device according to the invention.

  • Patent number: 9145744
    Abstract: In order to overcome the need to remove each fracturing plug after a plug and perforate operation it is desirable to utilize a profile latch in conjunction with a coupling profile. By having a profile in each coupling or at least in predetermined couplings a tool such as a perforating assembly including a fracturing plug may be precisely placed. A profile in the couplings also provides a means to latch the perforating assembly or other tool securely to the casing without using slips. Such profiles typically provide for securing the tool or perforating assembly in one direction although a particular profile may secure the assembly in place in two directions. By securing the tool or perforating assembly in one direction only the tool may be easily relocated or removed from the casing.
