  • Patent number: 9181773
    Abstract: A packer having at least two or more areas of relative rotation. The packer also incorporates a jet port, a highly debossed mandrel and/or a J-pin rotatably disposed within a drag block assembly for continuously and redundantly engaging a J-slot area disposed in the mandrel. The areas of relative rotation can be between the mandrel and piping above the packer, the drag block assembly and the mandrel, and the drag block assembly and the J-pin.

  • Publication number: 20150315849
    Abstract: A downhole tool assembly is presented for use in a wellbore, the tool having a mandrel assembly for substantially bearing the tensile and rotational loads placed on the tool assembly during run-in to the wellbore, a displacement assembly for substantially bearing displacement loads and for providing relative movement to the mandrel assembly, the displacement assembly for actuating a actuable tool attached to the mandrel assembly. The mandrel assembly has an upper mandrel positioned radially outward of the displacement assembly and a lower mandrel positioned radially inward of the displacement assembly. A load cross-over mandrel transfers the tensile and rotational loads between the upper and lower mandrels. The load cross-over mandrel has a plurality of passages which allow corresponding rods of the displacement assembly to slide therethrough. The rods transfer the displacement loads from actuators above the rods to an actuable tool below the rods.

  • Patent number: 9157818
    Abstract: A method for measuring torque measurement and generating a notifier, including searching for one or more wirelessly pairable load applying devices for applying a load to an object; displaying to a user those paired one or more load applying devices; responsive to selecting one of the displayed one or more load applying devices, receiving one or more of the group consisting of load measurements transmitted from the selected load applying device; and generating a notifier based on the proximity of the one or more of the group consisting of load measurements and torque measurements and a target value.
