  • Patent number: 10927663
    Abstract: A method of fault detection and recovery in a tubing string located in a hydrocarbon well is described, the tubing string having a plurality of valves, each valve having a control unit, each control unit being connected in series to a power-line providing power and communication, each of the control units being independently controllable. The method includes: detecting a short circuit, fault or failure in one of the control units of the tubing string via an output of the power-line; causing individual control units to be selectively isolated from the power-line via a circuit interrupting device; and determining one or more control units associated with the short circuit, fault or failure via the output of the power-line while individual control units are selectively isolated from the power-line. A method of fault protection in a tubing string, and an apparatus and system for the same are also described.

  • Publication number: 20200190928
    Abstract: A rescue dart for deployment down a wellbore to dislodge a pre-set frac plug having a plug mandrel from within the wellbore is provided. The rescue dart includes a dart body adapted to be conveyed down the wellbore via fluid flow and a mandrel defeater connected to the dart body and operable to reduce structural integrity of a portion of the plug mandrel until structural failure of the plug mandrel occurs and the frac plug is unset and dislodged. A corresponding system is also provided. The system includes the rescue dart and a pump for pumping fluids down the wellbore. A method of dislodging a pre-set frac plug using the rescue dart is also provided.
