  • Method and apparatus for completing a multi-stage well
    Patent number: 10400557
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a string that extends into a well and a tool that is disposed in the string. The tool is adapted to form a seat to catch an object communicated to the tool via a passageway of the string in response to the tool being perforated.
    Type: Grant

  • Self-locating downhole devices
    Patent number: 9441470
    Abstract: A technique that is usable with a well includes deploying a plurality of location markers in a passageway of the well and deploying an untethered object in the passageway such that the object travels downhole via the passageway. The technique includes using the untethered object to sense proximity of at least some of the location markers as the object travels downhole, and based on the sensing, selectively expand its size to cause the object to become lodged in the passageway near a predetermined location.

  • PERFORATING GUN AND ARMING METHOD
    Publication number: 20120247771
    Abstract: The perforating gun and methods of arming a perforating gun facilitates electrically connecting an arming device carrying the detonator to the loading tube carrying the explosive charges prior to ballistically connecting the arming device to the loading tube. Subsequent to establishing electrical continuity across the loading tube and arming device, the arming device can be ballistically connected to the loading tube thereby arming the perforating gun.
