  • Casing patch for loss circulation zone
    Patent number: 10982499
    Abstract: A polymer patch system and method associated with a casing to be installed in a wellbore. The polymer patch has a polymer layer and an internal space radially under the polymer layer to form an internal annulus between the polymer layer and an exterior surface of the casing. An internal support is disposed in the internal space to maintain the internal annulus between the polymer layer and the casing.

  • Controlling water inflow in a wellbore
    Patent number: 10669810
    Abstract: An example system includes a casing for insertion into a wellbore that includes one or more inflow control devices (ICDs). The ICDs may be disposed along the casing string to control the inflow of water into the wellbore. The system may include one or more controllers, each of which may be associated with an ICD. The controllers may be configured to receive a radio frequency identification (RFID) and to determine whether the associated ICD is a target for the RFID. A target ICD may be an ICD associated with a water cut zone. If the ICD is the target for the RFID, the controller is configured to control the ICD to open or close, thereby controlling the inflow of water. If the ICD is not the target for the RFID, the controller is configured to repeat the RFID.
