  • Patent number: 11566502
    Abstract: A system can include a completion string with a tubing and a dip tube secured in the tubing. A gas is injected into an annulus between the tubing and the dip tube, and the gas and well liquids flow into the dip tube. A method can include installing a completion string including a tubing, a dip tube in the tubing, and a packer downhole of a gas lift valve, and flowing a gas into the tubing via the gas lift valve, into an annulus between the tubing and the dip tube, and then into the dip tube. Another system can include a tubular connector connected between adjacent sections of the tubing, with the dip tube secured in the tubing and connected to the tubular connector. A gas flows from the gas lift valve to the annulus via a gas flow path formed in the tubular connector.

  • Patent number: 11193343
    Abstract: Method and apparatus for removing a downhole casing from a well on a single trip. A downhole tool assembly is arranged on a work string having a downhole pull tool, a spear tool, motor unit and cutting device. The downhole pull tool is set inside a first casing string and the spear tool, motor unit and cutting device are located inside a second casing string, located through the first casing string. The downhole pull tool and spear tool can be configured to grip the respective casings during cutting of the second casing string. The cut casing section can then be pulled using the downhole pull tool to dislodge the casing section, whereupon via attachment to the spear tool, the cut casing section can be removed from the well. The assembly can be re-set at shallower depths in the event that the cut casing section cannot be dislodged for removal.
