  • Patent number: 7490669
    Abstract: An improved well completion system for completing two or more separate production zones in a well bore during a single downhole trip is disclosed.

  • Patent number: 7383884
    Abstract: A well system comprising an improved cross-over tool is provided. The tool may comprise a debris shield for substantially preventing sand, proppant or other well debris from fouling a flow port closing sleeve located below the cross-over tool fracture ports; a return port cover adapted to close or open a return port upon contact with a designated downhole surface regardless of tubing movement caused by stretching or contracting under stress or other induced pipe movement from downhole conditions; or a collet-type circulation valve adapted to mechanically indicate the position or flow status of the cross-over tool.

  • Patent number: 6981551
    Abstract: The present invention provides a return port cover that can close and open a return port separate from tubing movement caused by stretching or contracting under stress or other induced pipe movement from downhole conditions. For example, the return port cover can assist in preventing pack “fluffing” by preventing unintended fluid communication through an associated downhole tool regardless of the position of a circulating valve means. The return port cover can be biased, so that in one position it closes the port and in another position opens the port based on relative tubing placement at different portions of the fracturing operation or other well treatment operations.
