Patent number: 11859458Abstract: Dissolvable pump down devices, dissolvable pump down assemblies, and methods to propel a bottomhole assembly through a lateral section are presented. A dissolvable pump down device includes an engageable portion, and one or more expandable pieces that are initially in a first position before the dissolvable pump down device is deployed in a wellbore, and configured to expand from the first position to a second position in response to a force generated by fluid flow of fluid through the wellbore. A diameter of the expandable pieces while the expandable pieces are in the first position is less than the diameter of the one or more expandable pieces while the one or more expandable pieces are in the second position. The engageable portion and the one or more expandable pieces are configured to dissolve after the dissolvable pump down device is positioned at the desired wellbore location.Type: GrantFiled: September 21, 2021Date of Patent: January 2, 2024Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Jesse Cale Porter, Donald Ray Smith, Zachery Ryan Olson, Aaron Jacob Miller

Patent number: 11326409Abstract: A downhole tool and process for introducing the downhole tool into a wellbore are provided wherein the downhole tool includes an occlusion-releasing tool. The occlusion-releasing tool contains an occlusion until such time as it is needed in a frac plug to prevent flow in one direction in the wellbore. The occlusion is released from the occlusion-releasing tool by fluid flow through the occlusion-releasing tool. The fluid flow acts directly on the occlusion to provide sufficient pressure to release the occlusion from a mechanical retainer.Type: GrantFiled: September 6, 2017Date of Patent: May 10, 2022Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Andrew John Eis, Tyler Norman, Jesse Cale Porter

Patent number: 8191625Abstract: A downhole tool has a mandrel with a sealing element disposed thereabout. The sealing element is movable from an unset position to a set position in which the sealing element engages the well. Extrusion limiters are positioned at the ends of the sealing element. The extrusion limiters have first and second layers and the first and second layers are different materials. The second layer may be made up of a plurality of discs. At least one of the discs may be a disc with an irregularly shaped outer peripheral edge and a generally circular inner peripheral edge. A plurality of the discs with the irregularly shaped outer edge may be stacked and may be stacked with a generally circular or ring-shaped segmented disc. The first and second layers are stacked and then molded into a final shape for placement at the ends of the sealing element.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 2010Date of Patent: June 5, 2012Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services Inc.Inventors: Jesse Cale Porter, Adam K.
