  • Position indicator through acoustics
    Patent number: 10683746
    Abstract: Assemblies and methods of use are disclosed for determining a position of a body within a tubing section. A signal generator coupled to the body is operable to generate a pressure wave in response to detecting a detectable portion of the tubing section when the body is moved relative to the tubing section.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 3, 2017
    Date of Patent: June 16, 2020
    Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.
    Inventors: Ralph Harvey Echols, William Mark Richards, Joshua Max Hornsby, Gregory William Garrison, James Ho
  • Remote tool position and tool status indication
    Patent number: 10119390
    Abstract: A system is described that is positionable downhole in wellbore for determining a parameter of a downhole tool. The system includes a tubing subassembly and a signal generator positioned in the tubing subassembly for outputting, in response to being covered or uncovered by a detectable portion of a downhole tool, a detectable signal for determining a parameter of the downhole tool.
    Type: Grant

  • Shifting sleeves with mechanical lockout features
    Patent number: 10030477
    Abstract: Certain aspects are directed to devices designed to lock shifting sleeves. In a particular aspect, there is provided a shifting sleeve with a mechanical lockout feature, comprising: a shifting sleeve comprising a shifting profile and a locking feature; a housing comprising a corresponding locking feature, wherein application of pressure or torque or both to the shifting profile of the shifting sleeve causes movement of the shifting sleeve and a mechanical lock with the housing.
