  • Patent number: 11746614
    Abstract: A plugging tool includes an elongated inner housing allowing a first fluid to flow through a hollow interior of the inner housing, a retractable plunger positioned within the inner housing and operable to obstruct the flow of the first fluid into a discharge chamber and resume the flow of the first fluid into the discharge chamber based on a pressure exerted by the first fluid on the retractable plunger, and at least one pressure release valve (PRV) operable to open and release at least a portion of the first fluid from the inner housing based on a pressure exerted by the first fluid on the at least one PRV, wherein operation of the retractable plunger and the at least one PRV generates pulses of the first fluid used to deposit a sealing plug at a target interval of a wellbore.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 11, 2021

  • Patent number: 11131161
    Abstract: A fluid control system may comprise a flow control device including one or more floats attached within the flow control device, an outlet within the flow control device that is connected to the one or more floats, a regulatory valve that is fluidly connected to the flow control device, and a blocking element placed within the regulatory valve. An autonomous flow control system may comprise a first flow control device attached to a production tubing at a first location in a wellbore, a second flow control device attached to the production tubing at a second location in the wellbore, a first set of floats attached within the first flow control device, and a second set of floats attached within the second flow control device.
