  • Publication number: 20080311776
    Abstract: A well completion system, including a packer and a lower signal line connector carried on tubing below the packer. An upper signal line connector is carried on an upper tubing section. The upper tubing is adapted for lowering through the packer into sealing contact with the lower tubing and for operatively connecting the upper signal line connector to the lower signal line connector. A lug on the upper tubing and a profile in the lower tubing interact to rotate the upper connector into alignment with the lower connector. An upper signal line extends from a surface location down the upper tubing to the upper connector. A lower signal line extends from the lower connector down the lower tubing to downhole sensors and/or actuators.

  • Patent number: 6186236
    Abstract: A multi-zone screenless well fracturing method and apparatus which allows multiple zones in a well to be treated with one trip of the apparatus into the hole. The apparatus includes a tool string generally comprising a crossover, a packer below the crossover, and a concentric wash pipe extending below the packer. The crossover has a first portion in communication with a tubing string connected thereto and a second portion in communication with a well annulus above the packer. The first portion of the crossover is in communication with the inner wash pipe, and the second portion of the crossover is in communication with the outer wash pipe. The tool string is adapted to stab through a plurality of big bore casing packers which are positioned between adjacent zones. A method of fracturing multiple zones in a well while monitoring conditions at the zone is also disclosed.
