  • Downhole tool with magnetic bypass seat
    Patent number: 10794144
    Abstract: A check valve is provided having a magnetic plug and a magnetic seat. The magnetic seat and magnetic plug operationally engage so as to have a magnetic resistivity such that there is a first position in which the magnetic plug does not sealingly engage the magnetic seat and a second position where the magnetic plug is sealingly engaged with the magnetic seat.

  • Expansion cone for downhole tool
    Patent number: 10006267
    Abstract: A downhole tool for creation of an annular seal in a well and a method of cementing a casing in a well, wherein tool and method make use of an expansion cone. The expansion cone is driven through a portion of the tool having a sealing element on the wellbore side so that the portion is expanded and the sealing element brought into contact with the wellbore. A force multiplier is used to increase the force exerted on the expansion cone by fluid pressure.

  • Subsurface wiping plug apparatus, method, and system
    Patent number: 9909382
    Abstract: In some embodiments, a subsurface wiping plug apparatus includes an internal bore that extends for less than a length of the apparatus. A ported case encloses internal components of the apparatus such that each port of the case is configured to couple the internal bore to an external side of the case. A plug capsule is coupled to an end of the ported case. The plug capsule contains an internal wiping plug that is releasable by internal pressure.
