Patent number: 11408251Abstract: A downhole apparatus comprises a piston mounted within a bore and being reconfigurable from a lock configuration to an unlock configuration in response to a pressure sequence applied within the bore. When the piston is in its lock configuration, a lock is supported by the piston such that the lock partially extends into the bore and engages a lock profile of the piston to restrict movement of the piston in a first direction towards its unlock configuration. In response to a first event of the pressure sequence, the piston is moveable in a second direction to desupport the lock and permit the lock to be wholly received into the bore and allow the piston to move in the second direction towards its unlock configuration in response to a subsequent event of the pressure sequence.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 2020Date of Patent: August 9, 2022Assignee: Weatherford U.K. LimitedInventors: Stephen Reid, Ian Jaffrey

Patent number: 10808508Abstract: A liner deployment assembly (LDA) for use in a wellbore includes: a crossover tool. The crossover tool includes: a seal for engaging a tubular string cemented into the wellbore; a tubular housing carrying the seal and having bypass ports straddling the seal; a mandrel having a bore therethrough and a port in fluid communication with the mandrel bore, the mandrel movable relative to the housing between a bore position where the mandrel port is isolated from the bypass ports and a bypass position where the mandrel port is aligned with one of the bypass ports; a bypass chamber formed between the housing and the mandrel and extending above and below the seal; and a control module. The control module includes: an electronics package; and an actuator in communication with the electronics package and operable to move the mandrel between the positions.Type: GrantFiled: September 5, 2018Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: Weatherford Technology Holdings, LLCInventors: Richard Lee Giroux, Daniel Purkis, Richard Dalzell, Jason Duthie, Ian Jaffrey

Publication number: 20180223629Abstract: A downhole pressure operated apparatus comprises a piston member mounted within a piston bore and being reconfigurable from a lock configuration to an unlock configuration in response to a pressure sequence applied within the piston bore, wherein the piston member comprises a lock profile. A lock member is arranged in a cavity which opens into the piston bore, wherein when the piston member is in its lock configuration the lock member is supported by the piston member such that the lock member partially extends into the piston bore and engages the lock profile of the piston member to restrict movement of the piston member in a first direction towards its unlock configuration.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 19, 2016Publication date: August 9, 2018Inventors: Stephen REID, Ian JAFFREY
