An end ring is coupled to and positioned at least partially around the sleeve and axially-adjacent to the expandable sealing member.

Abstract: A spring lock system for use in attaching a wellbore component to a tubular includes a tubular spring body having a plurality of profiles along an axial length thereof. The tubular spring body is configured to move between an unclamped position and a clamped position. The spring lock system further includes a locking and activation pin disposed between the profiles of the tubular spring body. The locking and activation pin is rotatable relative to the tubular spring body to move the tubular spring body from the unclamped position to the clamped position.

Abstract: A composite material centralizer (60) for a tubular (50) is formed from a shell (10) of elongate shape with a curved upper surface (12) and a longitudinal slot (14) formed centrally in the curved upper surface (12) of the shell (10). At least one port (19) for injection of a bonding agent into the cavity (26) is provided in the curved upper (surface (12) of the shell (10). Fluid vent holes (17) are provided in the curved upper surface (12) of the shell (10) adjacent to either end of the longitudinal slot (14) in the curved upper surface (12) of shell (10). An elongate resilient member (30) with an outwardly projecting bow spring surface (33) may be retained within the longitudinal slot (14) in the shell (10) by insertion of ends (31, 32) in respective recesses (24, 24?).

Abstract: An oil field tubular has a composite material housing within which is located one or more wireless communication devices with a charge storage device for powering the communication device(s). In a disclosed method of installing a wireless communication device upon an oilfield tubular, a prefabricated composite shell formed with an inner skin and outer skin forming an inner space for containing the wireless communication device is applied to a surface of the tubular so as to form a cavity between the surface of the tubular and the prefabricated composite shell, a bonding material is introduced to the cavity and bonding material is cured.

Abstract: A downhole tool includes a sleeve configured to be disposed around a tubular. An expandable sealing member is coupled to and positioned at least partially around the sleeve. An end ring is coupled to and positioned at least partially around the sleeve and axially-adjacent to the expandable sealing member.

Abstract: A centralizer, method, and centralizer assembly. For example, the centralizer assembly includes a first stop collar fixed in place on a tubular, and a first end collar that is sized to slide axially over the first stop collar. The centralizer assembly also includes a first retainer coupled with the first end collar. The first retainer prevents the first stop collar from sliding past the first stop collar in at least one axial direction. The assembly also includes a plurality of ribs coupled with the first end collar and configured to engage a surrounding tubular in which the tubular is disposed.

Abstract: A positioning member for a tubular is formed using a prefabricated fiber-reinforced resin shell positioned upon a surface of the tubular and bonded to provide a protrusion upon the surface of the tubular. In a disclosed method a fiber-reinforced resin shell is secured to an external surface of a tubular thereby enclosing a cavity between the shell and the surface of the tubular; a bonding agent is introduced through inlet ports in a surface of the fiber-reinforced resin shell to fill a cavity between the shell and the surface of the tubular (10), and the bonding agent is cured.
