Publication number: 20240086398Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer-readable media are provided for performing a well completion. Specifically, a distributed ledger associated with a supply chain for a well completion is accessed. The distributed ledger can include a first entry associated with a first entity in the supply chain that is indicative of an identification of the first entity and characteristics of a material implemented in the well completion. The ledger can also include a second entry associated with a second entity in the supply chain that is indicative of the second entity and the characteristics of the material at the second entity.

Publication number: 20230417128Abstract: A screen assembly for wellbore production wherein a base pipe is wrapped with a screen constructed one or more cables formed from a plurality of non-metallic fibers bonded to one another with a metal binder. The non-metallic fibers may be basalt fibers or another ceramic material. The metal binder forms a metal matrix that has a first diameter about a primary cable axis, with the metal matrix securing the non-metallic fibers so that they have a second diameter about the primary cable axis, where the second diameter is larger than the first diameter, minimizing exposure of the metal matrix to wellbore fluids.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 13, 2023Publication date: December 28, 2023Applicant: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Michael Linley FRIPP, Stephen Michael GRECI, Daniel D.

Patent number: 11326399Abstract: A disclosed pulsed-power drilling system may include a controller that receives and analyzes feedback from downhole components reflecting changing conditions or performance measurements associated with a pulsed drilling operation to determine that an operating parameter of the drilling operation should be modified. The controller may output a control signal to cause an adjustment of a configurable downhole component, such as mechanical, electrical, or hydraulic component that affects the operating parameter, while the drill bit remains in the wellbore. The controller may adjust a segmented transformer of a pulse-generating circuit, changing the number of primary winding switches that are fired, or the timing of the firing of the switches, to modify characteristics of the generated pulses. Adjusting a downhole component may affect the drilling rate, the drilling direction, the flow of drilling fluid, a pulse rise time, a pulse repetition rate, or a rate of penetration for the drilling operation.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2021Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignees: HALLIBURTON ENERGY SERVICES, INC., CHEVRON U.S.A.
