Abstract: A system and method for providing improved control of fluid flow between an interior and an exterior of a tubing string with a multicycle valve system. The multicycle valve having a run-in position, a fracturing position, and a production position. The multicycle valve comprising an outer housing having fracturing ports and production ports. The multicycle valve has a fracturing sleeve which is shifted via pressure applied to a first drop dissolvable ball to open fracturing ports of the multicycle valve. Pressure applied to a second dropped ball shifts an intermediate sleeve to close the fracturing ports and shifts a production sleeve to open production ports. The multicycle valve also has a bypass port allows sufficient fluid to exit the multicycle valve such that an additional ball pump-down operations can still take place uphole of the multicycle valve.

Abstract: A system and method for producing hydrocarbons from a well with a dual sleeve valve assembly. The dual sleeve valve assembly has a toe valve assembly and a production assembly. The toe valve assembly has a valve sleeve positioned in a valve housing comprising at least one fracturing port. The valve sleeve is shiftable to allow fluid through the least one fracturing port. The production assembly comprises a production sleeve positioned within a production outer housing comprising at least one screen port and at least one production port. A sand screen assembly disposed around the production outer housing. The production sleeve shiftable by a ball to allow fluid through the at least one screen port and the at least one production port.

Abstract: A backup ring for a frac plug. The backup ring may include a plurality of segments defined by a plurality of slots, where each segment is defined by a sequential pair of the plurality of slots. The backup ring may also include a plurality of buttons, wherein at least one button is disposed on each segment. The backup ring creates a backup anchor for the sealing element and reduces or prevents extrusion of the sealing element.

Abstract: An element includes an elastomer having a temperature rating of at least 400° F. for enhanced geothermal system applications. The elastomer element may be manufactured via an additive manufacturing process, and the elastomer element may be a component of an isolation plug assembly having a plurality of structural components that may also be manufactured via the additive manufacturing process.
