Patent number: 9341046Abstract: A method comprising moving a shifting tool in a first direction through a moveable member positioned in a casing of a wellbore, including moving the shifting tool through a shifting tool interface member (STIM) adjacent the moveable member, until the shifting tool is positioned past the moveable member and the STIM. The shifting tool is then moved in a second direction substantially opposite the first direction until the shifting tool and the STIM engage. The shifting tool is then further moved in the second direction, thereby moving the STIM and the moveable member in the second direction, until the STIM substantially simultaneously (1) engages the casing and (2) disengages the shifting tool.Type: GrantFiled: November 15, 2012Date of Patent: May 17, 2016Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Michael Huh, Partha Ganguly, Jake A. Danos, Jessica Schulte

Patent number: 8857516Abstract: Systems and methods for fracturing multiple zones in a wellbore. A first port in a first valve assembly can be opened with a shifting tool. A fluid flows through the first port to fracture a first zone, and the first port can be closed with the shifting tool after the first zone has been fractured. A second port can be opened in a second valve assembly with the shifting tool after the first port has been closed, wherein the second valve assembly is positioned below the first valve assembly. The fluid can flow through the second port to fracture a second zone, and the second port can be closed with the shifting tool after the second zone has been fractured.Type: GrantFiled: August 30, 2011Date of Patent: October 14, 2014Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Partha Ganguly, Michael Huh, Jake Danos, Bryan Stamm
