Patent number: 11111738Abstract: A releasable connection mechanism for use downhole with a tubular member includes a collet, a collet stop, and a ring housing. The collet is configured to engage the tubular member, the collet stop is axially movable with respect to the collet between a disengaged position to not engage the collet and an engaged position to engage the collet, and the ring housing is selectively axially movable with respect to the collet. In the disengaged position, the collet is configured to move with respect to the ring housing to engage the ring housing and prevent the collet from disengaging the tubular member when the collet is tensioned with respect to the tubular member. In the engaged position, the collet is configured to remain axially stationary with respect to the ring housing and disengage the tubular member when the collet is tensioned with respect to the tubular member.Type: GrantFiled: August 4, 2020Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: Halliburton Energy Services, Inc.Inventors: Ibrahim El Mallawany, Lorenzzo B. Minassa, Henry P. Lindner, Jr.

Publication number: 20190360317Abstract: A system for controlling flow of a fluid into or out of a well bore having a wellbore wall. The system includes a tubular with a tubular bore and locatable in the wellbore. The system also includes a housing that includes a flow channel in fluid communication with the tubular bore. The housing also includes a sealing element expandable to provide a fluid barrier in an annulus formed between the housing and the wellbore wall. The housing further includes a fluid conduit separate from and radially spaced from the flow channel and in fluid communication with the annulus on both sides of the sealing element such that all fluid in the annulus flows through the conduit as it passes the sealing element. The housing also includes a sensor in fluid communication with the conduit and configured to measure a parameter of the fluid in the conduit.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2017Publication date: November 28, 2019Applicant: HALLIBURTON ENERGY SERVICES, INC.Inventors: Lorenzzo B.
