  • Publication number: 20140352942
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an annular barrier (1) to be expanded in an annulus between a well tubular structure and an inside wall of a borehole downhole, comprising a tubular part (6) for mounting as part of the well tubular structure, said tubular part having a longitudinal axis, an expandable sleeve surrounding the tubular part and having an outer face, each end of the expandable sleeve being fastened to the tubular part by means of a connection part (12), an annual barrier space (13) between the tubular part and the expandable sleeve, an aperture in the tubular part or the connection part for letting fluid into the space in order to expand the sleeve, and a self-actuated device (14) arranged in the aperture having an open and a closed position. Furthermore the invention relates to a downhole system comprising a plurality of annular barriers according to the invention.

  • Publication number: 20140190683
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an annular barrier to be expanded in an annulus between a well tubular structure and an inside wall of a borehole downhole for providing zone isolation between a first zone and a second zone of the borehole, comprising a tubular part for mounting as part of the well tubular structure, the tubular part having a longitudinal axis, an expandable sleeve surrounding the tubular part and defining a space being in fluid communication with an inside of the tubular part, each end of the expandable sleeve being connected with the tubular part, and an aperture for letting fluid into the space to expand the expandable sleeve, wherein the barrier further comprises a compensation device arranged in the space between the expandable sleeve and the tubular part, the compensation device having a chamber in which a piston is arranged dividing the chamber in a first and a second chamber part, the first chamber part being in fluid communication with the space and the second chamber part comprising

  • Publication number: 20140152298
    Abstract: The invention relates to a positioning method for determining a position of a downhole tool moving at a velocity in a casing in a well, comprising the steps of measuring a magnitude and/or direction of a magnetic field by means of a first sensor several times over a time period while moving along a first part of the casing manufactured from metal, determining a manufacturing pattern of the casing along the first part from the measurement measuring a magnitude and/or direction of a magnetic field by means of the first sensor several times over a time period while moving along a second part of the casing manufactured from metal, determining the velocity of the tool along the second part, adjusting the determined velocity of the tool along the second part based upon the manufacturing pattern.

  • Publication number: 20130186615
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an annular barrier for being expanded in an annulus between a well tubular structure and an inside wall of a borehole downhole. The annular barrier comprises a tubular part for mounting as part of the well tubular structure; an expandable sleeve made of a first metal, surrounding the tubular part and defining a space being in fluid communication with an inside of the tubular part, the expandable sleeve having a longitudinal extension, an inner face facing the tubular part and two ends; a connection part made of a second metal, connecting the expandable sleeve with the tubular part; an opening for letting fluid into the space to expand the sleeve, and a transition area comprising a connection of the sleeve with the connection part.
