Publication number: 20240125201Abstract: An isolation valve system, method, and apparatus are provided that can isolate a wellbore and prevent fluids from exiting the well and prevent seawater from entering the well. The system can be a two-part design in some embodiments where a shear sub is selectively interconnected to a body via shearing screws. A sufficient force on the shear sub destroys the shearing screws and the shear sub is removed from the body. This movement rotates an actuator on the body, which in turn rotates a valve in the body to provide the isolating function during routine operation of a wellbore or during an emergency.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 26, 2023Publication date: April 18, 2024Applicant: Spoked Solutions LLCInventor: Bryce Elliott Randle

Publication number: 20230279768Abstract: An apparatus, system and/or method for making observations down a wellbore are provided. The wellbore observation system may comprise a mandrel that can be run downhole, and telescoping tracks can be utilized to move a camera and semi-conforming inflatable bladder out of the mandrel and into the wellbore. Once the bladder is inflated, it displaces high turbidity fluid in the wellbore to allow the camera to move about a track and observe the wellbore unobstructed. An alternative embodiment allows the mandrel and telescoping tracks to be utilized with other tools to perform cleaning, fishing, diagnostic, and analytic operations.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 9, 2023Publication date: September 7, 2023Inventors: Bryce Elliott Randle, Shane Joseph Triche, Heath Lawrence Triche

Publication number: 20220339563Abstract: Systems and methods for managing debris material in a fluid are described. In examples, the system may include a flow line that directs a fluid into an inlet of a barrel, through the barrel to filter at least some material from the fluid, and out of an outlet of the barrel. The system may also include a backflush line coupled to the flow line between an inlet valve and an inlet of the barrel and between an outlet valve and an outlet of the barrel. In examples, the system includes a pump positioned on the backflush line, where in a backflush mode, the inlet and outlet valves close to isolate the barrel, and the pump circulates the fluid through the backflush line and through the barrel in a reverse direction to move fluid and material from the barrel to a screen overflow assembly.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 21, 2022Publication date: October 27, 2022Inventors: Bryce Elliott Randle, Heath Triche, Shane Triche

Publication number: 20210172278Abstract: A device, system and method are provided for using a seal sub to isolate a well. The seal sub generally has a primary channel extending through the seal sub and seat positioned within the primary channel. As a ball setting tool passes through the seal sub and the seat, a ball connected to the setting tool with a shear pin contacts the seat and selectively connects to the seal sub. A predetermined force can be applied to the ball setting tool to break the shear pin, which leaves the seal ball in place, and the seal sub and the seal ball isolate the downhole pressures and contents from the uphole pressures and contents.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2020Publication date: June 10, 2021Inventors: Bryce Elliott Randle, Patrick Francis Campbell

Publication number: 20210156230Abstract: Various systems, methods, and devices are disclosed for handling contaminants in a wellbore or riser. A washpipe debris trap (WPDT) traps contaminants traveling up a wellbore from a downhole location, and the WPDT may serve as an indicator for a breached screen in a downhole location. A marine riser reversing tool (MRRT) may reverse the flow of fluid between a workstring conduit and an annulus between the workstring and the wellbore such that fluid rises to the wellhead with greater velocity. A bi-directional chamber trap (BDCT) may be utilized in a wellbore operation to remove contaminants from a fluid.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 19, 2020Publication date: May 27, 2021Inventor: Bryce Elliott Randle
