  • Publication number: 20250020053
    Abstract: A tubing nipple impression device for use within downhole tubing includes a driver body, a stopping disk, first and second impression arms, and upper and lower radial springs. The driver body extends in an axial direction along a vertical axis of the downhole tubing. The driver body further includes a nose portion, and first and second driver arms that abut against the stopping disk. The shear pin attaches the driver body to the stopping disk. The first and second impression arms are fixed to the stopping disk, and are further connected to each other with upper and lower radial springs.

  • Patent number: 11643896
    Abstract: A wellbore assembly includes a cable configured to be disposed within a wellbore. The wellbore assembly also includes a housing attached to a downhole end of the cable. The housing defines a fluid outlet at a downhole end of the housing. The housing includes an anchor and a collapsible gate. The anchor engages a wall of the wellbore under increased tension in the cable, thereby anchoring the housing to the wellbore. The collapsible gate is disposed inside the housing between an uphole end of the housing and the fluid outlet. The housing temporarily stores a treatment fluid configured to treat an obstruction in the wellbore. The collapsible gate is configured to break, with the anchor engaged, under further tension applied by the cable, inside the housing to allow the treatment fluid to flow out of the housing through the fluid outlet toward the obstruction.
