Abstract: A well tool to be oriented and secured in a wellbore without the external application of torque, and a well system incorporating the same. After installation of orientation casing and universal latch coupling casing, the self-orienting selective lockable latch well tool is run downhole to the target depth, picked up to free the internal locking mechanism, and then loaded with downhole stress to engage the locking mechanism.

Abstract: This disclosure may generally relate to drilling operations and, more particularly, to systems and methods for sidetracking an existing well. A bottom hole assembly may comprise a milling assembly, a whipstock coupled to the milling assembly, wherein the whipstock comprises an inclined ramp configured for diverting the milling assembly toward a casing string, and a downhole subassembly coupled to the whipstock, wherein the downhole subassembly comprises a body portion and one or more components on the body portion operable to weaken and/or remove material from the casing string.

Abstract: A method includes severing a liner positioned in a first wellbore at least partially lined with casing and thereby providing a severed end, conveying a mid-completion assembly into the first wellbore and receiving the severed end within a tail pipe assembly of the mid-completion assembly, wherein a smallest inner diameter of the mid-completion assembly is greater than or equal to a smallest inner diameter of the liner and thereby permits tools sized for operations in the liner to pass through the mid-completion assembly, actuating an expandable device of the mid-completion assembly to sealingly engage an inner surface of the casing uphole from the severed end, and drilling a second wellbore extending from the first wellbore.

Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for positioning an isolation device within a multilateral well to isolate a live wellbore from other wellbores in the well system. The isolation device can be changed from an open position to a closed position substantially contemporaneously to the wellbore becoming a live wellbore. Another procedure can be performed on the other wellbore of the multilateral well while the isolation device is in the closed position. A tubing string or a short or intermediate completion string can isolate a wellbore from pressure applied to another wellbore within the multilateral system. The tubing string or the short or intermediate completion string may also isolate a junction area of the multilateral well system.

Abstract: A system comprising a first expandable tubular section and a first expansion bridge coupled to an inner surface of the first expandable tubular section. A base pipe is coupled to the first expandable tubular section and to a second expandable tubular section. A second expansion bridge is coupled to an inner surface of the second expandable tubular section. The system also comprises an expansion cone disposed within and translatable relative to the first expandable section. The expansion cone has an expansion diameter greater than an inner diameter of the first and second expansion bridges and less than an inner diameter of the base pipe.

Abstract: A downhole axial expansion or telescoping tool includes radially expandable tubular members. The tubular members are relatively moveable before and after radial expansion, and include an intermediate layer therebetween of a non-metal or non-cladding material. The intermediate layer may provide any one or more of lubricity, load transfer, sealing, and shape retention during and after radial expansion.
