  • Viscous damping systems for hydrostatically set downhole tools
    Patent number: 10900308
    Abstract: A system for activating a downhole tool may include a mandrel, a first piston disposed about the mandrel and defining a piston chamber therebetween, a flow restrictor positioned in the piston chamber and separating the piston chamber into an upper chamber located uphole of the flow restrictor and a lower chamber located downhole of the flow restrictor, and a second piston disposed in the upper chamber. The flow restrictor may define at least one orifice extending axially therethrough and, a damping fluid may reside in the piston chamber downhole from the second piston.
    Type: Grant

  • Cut-to-release packer with load transfer device to expand performance envelope
    Patent number: 9388660
    Abstract: A packer can include a mandrel having a longitudinal section, the packer being releasable in response to the section being severed, a slip support and a load transfer device that extends longitudinally across the section, the device being secured to the mandrel on one side of the section, and the device being secured to the member on an opposite side of the section. A method of constructing a releasable packer can include assembling a mandrel, at least one slip, a slip support and a load transfer device, the mandrel having a longitudinal section, and the packer being releasable in response to the section being severed. The assembling can include preventing relative longitudinal displacement between the device and the mandrel on one side of the section while preventing relative longitudinal displacement between the device and the member on an opposite side of the section.
