Patent number: 10337287Abstract: A tubular assembly includes a turbular member having at least one opening, and a sleeve slidingly mounted relative to the tubular member. The sleeve is shiftable between an open configuration in which the at least one opening is exposed and a closed configuration in which the at least one opening is covered by the sleeve. A degradable locking member is mounted relative to one of the turbular and the sleeve. The degradable locking member selectively retains the sleeve in the open configuration. The degradable locking member is configured to degrade when exposed to a downhole fluid allowing the sleeve to be shifted to the closed configuration.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 2014Date of Patent: July 2, 2019Assignee: BAKER HUGHES, A GE COMPANY, LLCInventors: Jason M.

Patent number: 10087714Abstract: A tubular assembly includes a tubular having at least one opening. A slidable sleeve is slidingly mounted relative to the tubular. The slidable sleeve is shiftable between a first position, and a second position. A biasing member selectively biases the slidable sleeve in one of the first position and the second position. A degradable locking member is mounted relative to one of the tubular and the slidable sleeve. The degradable locking member selectively retains the slidable sleeve in the other of the first position and the second position. The degradable locking member is configured to degrade when exposed to a downhole fluid allowing the biasing member to shift the slidable sleeve back to the one of the first position and the second position.Type: GrantFiled: March 14, 2017Date of Patent: October 2, 2018Assignee: BAKER HUGHES, A GE COMPANY, LLCInventors: Jason M.

Patent number: 10077635Abstract: A debris catcher can include an anchor connected to the wellbore tubular and a filter fixed to the anchor. The filter is positioned in a bore of the wellbore tubular and has an disintegrable accelerator material located in a carrier body. The debris catcher formed at least partially of a disintegrable accelerator material located in a carrier body is conveyed in a wellbore tubular. The disintegrable accelerator material is exposed to a downhole material in a subterranean fluid flowing through the wellbore tubular. The debris catcher filters the downhole material. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract, which will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the general subject matter of the technical disclosure.Type: GrantFiled: December 7, 2015Date of Patent: September 18, 2018Assignee: BAKER HUGHES, A GE COMPANY, LLCInventors: Zhiyue Xu, Jason M. Harper, James S. Sanchez, James G. King, Edward O'Malley

Patent number: 10072493Abstract: An apparatus can include a conveyance device having a flow bore, an isolator forming a testing volume at least partially defined by an inner surface of a wellbore tubular, and one or more pressure sensors generating signals representative of a pressure in the testing volume while the conveyance device moves the isolator axially through the wellbore tubular. The isolator substantially isolates a testing fluid received from the flow bore in the testing volume from an adjacent bore of the wellbore tubular. A location of at least one flow path in the wellbore tubular is identified by estimating a pressure of the testing fluid in the testing volume. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract, which will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the general subject matter of the technical disclosure.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2014Date of Patent: September 11, 2018Assignee: BAKER HUGHES, A GE COMPANY, LLCInventors: Juan C. Flores, Edward J. O'Malley, Jason M. Harper

Patent number: 10018010Abstract: The frack plug has a sealing element that reforms when set to hold differential pressure. The element is granular with adhesive to hold the granular particles together but allow the shape to reform under setting force. The adhesive can be broken down with a chemical agent or in other ways to allow the seal to reform to the sealing position at the desired depth. As a result the structural components can disintegrate and the seal assembly can fragment into small pieces that can be circulated out of the well or allowed to drop to the hole bottom. The seal can have particles of controlled electrolytic materials (CEM), natural or synthetic sand, swelling or non-swelling rubber. The assembly can contain pellets that selectively release to initiate the breakdown of the structural components of the frack plug.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 2014Date of Patent: July 10, 2018Assignee: Baker Hughes, a GE company, LLCInventors: James G. King, James C. Doane, Jason M. Harper, Robert J. Taylor, Erwin D. Hernaez

Patent number: 9903196Abstract: A pressure test and actuation tool includes a housing; an insert disposed in operable communication with the housing. A metering head initially in sealed relation to both the housing and insert. A damper relief shoulder operably positioned relative to the metering head to initially support the metering head in sealed relationship with the housing and the insert and movable to unsupport the metering head defeating the sealed relationship with the housing and the insert.

Patent number: 9605509Abstract: A fully disintegrating plug has a passage therethrough and a ball seat at an upper end. The seal material that comprises plastic nuggets, sand and a grease binder is initially disposed behind a protective sleeve. A wireline setting tool creates relative movement between a plunger and a mandrel body that has a ramp surface adjacent the outlet of the protective sleeve. The sleeve outlet is closed for running in but plunger movement pushes the seal material so as to displace the closure at the sleeve outlet with the seal material that is forced up the mandrel ramp surface and against the surrounding tubular. After an object is landed on the mandrel seat and the treating is concluded, the plug components are caused to disintegrate or otherwise fail for complete removal. Multiple plugs are contemplated for fracturing or other treating applications.Type: GrantFiled: May 30, 2014Date of Patent: March 28, 2017Assignee: Baker Hughes IncorporatedInventors: James C.
