  • Patent number: 12209481
    Abstract: The frac plug device is a wedge type or ramp type frac plug that can seal at a setting position in a large diameter portion of the borehole. The thickness, taper angle, and dimensions of components for passing through the narrowest portion of the borehole during deployment no longer limit the radial expansion. The frac plug device includes a core cone, a segmented cone, a slip device, a segmented cap member, and a core cap member. A simplified setting action sets the high expansion of the slip device by the core cone and the segmented cone. The segmented cone and the segmented cap member increase expansion of the slip device, and the segmented cap member and the core cap member lock the slip device around the core cone in the final expansion configuration at the maximum radial expansion for large diameter portions of the borehole.

  • Patent number: 12139994
    Abstract: A ramp type frac plug device of the present invention is a simplified, short and compact frac plug device to both maintain seal to the borehole wall and prevent premature release from the borehole. The frac plug device includes a cone, an anchor assembly, a cap member, a slip device, and a sealing member. In a set configuration, the frac plug device has both the friction fit engagement of the cone and the slip device and a single direction rachet locked engagement of an anchor ring with a threaded ring portion and an anchor mandrel with an exterior threaded mandrel portion of the anchor assembly. The ratchet lock engagement between the anchor ring and the anchor mandrel prevents backward movement of the cone away from the anchor mandrel so that the cap member engaged with the anchor mandrel locks the slip device in position on the cone.

  • Publication number: 20180087344
    Abstract: A multi-sectional swellable packer for a wellbore has a mandrel and multiple packer elements mounted on the mandrel. The packer elements are formed of swellable materials that swell when contacted with a swelling fluid. In various embodiments, the outer diameter of the central element is larger than that of the end elements with or without gap between elements. In other embodiments, a multi-sectional swellable packer for a wellbore has multiple mandrels with multiple packer elements which are interconnected by flexible joints/connections. The outer diameter of the central element can be different from that of the end elements. The swellable rubber of the central element can be different from that of the end elements. The packer increases flexibility of operation and reduces the risk of run-in-hole.
