Abstract: Methods and systems for cementing in a wellbore. An example method includes introducing a conduit into a wellbore. The conduit comprises a reactive metal element disposed on an exterior of the conduit. The reactive metal element comprises a reactive metal having a first volume. The method further includes circulating a cement over the exterior of the conduit and the reactive metal element, contacting the reactive metal element with a fluid that reacts with the reactive metal to produce a reaction product having a second volume greater than the first volume, and contacting a surface of the cement adjacent to the reactive metal element with the reaction product.

Abstract: A high-expansion slip/wedge system may include at least one slip and actuatable wedge disposable about the mandrel. The actuatable wedge includes an actuator ramp configured to urge the slip radially outwardly in response to axial movement of the actuatable wedge in direct engagement with the slip ramp. A wedge extender, which may be part of a kit, is removably disposable along the mandrel intermediate the slip ramp and actuatable wedge to support increased expansion. The wedge extender may include an inwardly facing ramp engageable by the actuatable wedge and an outwardly facing ramp for engaging the slip ramp. The wedge extender provides additional engagement area for supporting and optionally increasing the amount of radial expansion.

Abstract: Hydraulic setting tools, packer setting systems, and methods thereof are provided. The hydraulic setting tool includes a mandrel containing a main flow path, a piston housing surrounding at least a portion of the mandrel, and a piston disposed between the piston housing and the mandrel. A cavity is defined at least partially between the piston, the piston housing, and the mandrel. The tool also includes a port passing through the mandrel and configured to provide fluid communication between the main flow path and of the cavity, and an isolation sleeve located within the mandrel and movable along the main flow path between a closed position and an opened position to control the fluid communication between the main flow path and the cavity via the port. A remotely activated valve is located downstream from the isolation sleeve along the main flow path and controls the fluid passing therethrough.
