  • Patent number: 9341046
    Abstract: A method comprising moving a shifting tool in a first direction through a moveable member positioned in a casing of a wellbore, including moving the shifting tool through a shifting tool interface member (STIM) adjacent the moveable member, until the shifting tool is positioned past the moveable member and the STIM. The shifting tool is then moved in a second direction substantially opposite the first direction until the shifting tool and the STIM engage. The shifting tool is then further moved in the second direction, thereby moving the STIM and the moveable member in the second direction, until the STIM substantially simultaneously (1) engages the casing and (2) disengages the shifting tool.

  • Patent number: 9194974
    Abstract: A method for characterizing one or more properties of a geological formation including brine and a dense vapor phase includes inputting at least one first property of the geological formation including resistivity of a vapor phase into a model including an equation of state (EOS) model, the model accounting for a high temperature effect on the dense vapor where that the dense vapor has a non-infinite resistivity. At least the EOS model is solves to provide data relating to at least one second property of the geological formation. The data relating to the at least one second property is output to a display device for visual inspection.

  • Patent number: 8857516
    Abstract: Systems and methods for fracturing multiple zones in a wellbore. A first port in a first valve assembly can be opened with a shifting tool. A fluid flows through the first port to fracture a first zone, and the first port can be closed with the shifting tool after the first zone has been fractured. A second port can be opened in a second valve assembly with the shifting tool after the first port has been closed, wherein the second valve assembly is positioned below the first valve assembly. The fluid can flow through the second port to fracture a second zone, and the second port can be closed with the shifting tool after the second zone has been fractured.
