Patent number: 11499393Abstract: A sub having an anti-rotation feature for a resource exploration and recovery system includes a tubular having an outer surface and an inner surface defining a flow bore. A sleeve is slideably disposed in the flow bore between a first position and a second position. The sleeve includes an inner surface portion having a taper. A dart including an end portion is disposed in the sleeve. The dart is configured to shift the sleeve between the first position and the second position when exposed to a selected pressure in the flowbore. The end portion includes a tapered section. The tapered section mating with the taper formed in the inner surface to rotatably lock the plug to the inner surface of the sleeve.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2020Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: BAKER HUGHES OILFIELD OPERATIONS LLCInventors: Juan Miguel Bilen, Dennis Jiral, Alexander Schultz

Publication number: 20060272817Abstract: An apparatus to protect the mounting area of casing and a locating profile and optionally a sliding sleeve valve and a flow path from the outside of the valve to the annulus when subsequent attachment of an expanded liner is intended and the expanded liner is to be cemented in place. A barrier sleeve, nose, and outer sleeve define a sealed cavity having a loose incompressible material inside that covers the mounting location on the casing. A locating profile and an optional sliding sleeve valve and a flow path from the outside of the valve to the annulus can be provided. The cementing of the casing takes place through the barrier sleeve. After the cementing, the sleeve and nose are drilled out and the incompressible material is removed to the surface with the drill cuttings. A liner is inserted in the casing and is preferably expanded into sealing contact with the mounting location on the casing.Type: ApplicationFiled: February 7, 2006Publication date: December 7, 2006Inventors: Mark Adam, Michael Carmody, Matthew Jabs, Robert O'Brien, Dennis Jiral, Harold Payne

Publication number: 20060266515Abstract: A downhole tool with a mandrel that is expanded downhole is further actuated due to relative longitudinal movement between the mandrel and a member that accommodates radial expansion without undergoing as much shrinkage as the expanded mandrel or any shrinkage at all. In a packer application, the packer can be set in open hole or cased hole and the relative longitudinal movement that results from mandrel expansion leaves a residual longitudinal compressive force on the sealing element and a tensile reaction force on the underlying mandrel.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 27, 2005Publication date: November 30, 2006Inventors: Michael Carmody, Dennis Jiral
