Abstract: Embodiments relate to methods and devices for improved liner drill-in operations. Specifically, embodiments may provide the capability to selectively allow rotation of the liner, even once a packer has been set. Typical embodiments might couple a port sealing collar (that can selectively seal or open a port in the liner) to a selectively lockable swivel joint, for example.
Abstract: Disclosed embodiments may relate to devices or tools for diverting flow within a wellbore. For example, disclosed tool embodiments may allow for more efficiently cutting and pulling of casing from a wellbore during well abandonment operations, since diverting fluid flow as disclosed may allow for a single tool string trip to allow the flow patterns for both cutting and cleanup.
