Abstract: 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.

Abstract: This invention includes an apparatus and method for completing a subterranean zone penetrated by a wellbore. One embodiment of the invention is an apparatus for connecting a first sand screen assembly and a second sand screen assembly. The apparatus comprises a tubular housing having an eccentric longitudinal bore therethrough, providing a first fluid communication path through the apparatus, the longitudinal bore defining a housing wall. A longitudinal passageway is disposed within the housing wall, providing a second fluid communication path through the apparatus. The first fluid communication path is capable of communicating fluid flow from a sand screen in the first sand screen assembly to a sand screen in the second sand screen assembly. The second fluid communication path is capable of communicating fluid flow from an alternate path element in the first sand screen assembly an alternate path element in the second sand screen assembly.

Abstract: A well completion method performed in a single trip into a well includes inserting a service tool into the well to a desired location; gravel packing the well; and circulating fluids within the wellbore through the service tool to dislodge and remove filter cake residue. A method of completing a subterranean well performed in a single trip into a wellbore includes running a service tool into the well, the service tool defining multiple, selectable flow paths; gravel packing the well; selecting a different flow path of the service tool; removing a filter cake from the wellbore by circulating a fluid through the service tool; spotting specially fluids within the wellbore at desired locations; and removing the service string from the well.

Abstract: A sand screen having a shroud with a channel for routing of a control line and associated methods and systems.

Abstract: An apparatus for use in wellbores that enables the running in, washing down, gravel packing, reversing excess slurry, and the spotting of post gravel pack fluids on a single trip. The one trip apparatus comprises a housing having an exterior and a longitudinal bore extending therethrough, and a lateral port providing a communication path between the housing longitudinal bore and the exterior of the housing. A first sleeve is disposed within the housing longitudinal bore that has a longitudinal passageway therethrough and is capable of being positioned in an upper position and a lower position relative to the housing. First and second lateral passageways extend through the wall of the first sleeve. A second sleeve is disposed within the first sleeve and also has a longitudinal passageway therethrough. The second sleeve is capable of being positioned in an upper position and a lower position relative to the first sleeve.

Abstract: A circulation tool includes a housing having a longitudinal bore therethrough, a wall, and at least one lateral port through the housing wall and at least two sliding sleeves. At least one circulation flow passage is disposed within the housing wall. A plurality of circulation paths are created by the selective positioning of the at least two sliding sleeves.
