Patent number: 8171989Abstract: A system includes a subsea well and a carousel of tools. The carousel of tools is adapted to automatically and selectively deploy the tools in the well to perform an intervention in the well. The flow of fluid in a well is halted, and a tool is deployed from within the well while the fluid is halted. The tool is allowed to free fall while the fluid is halted. The flow is resumed to retrieve the tool.Type: GrantFiled: August 2, 2001Date of Patent: May 8, 2012Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Peter A. Goode, Andrew Gould, Alan Christie, Charles E. Vise, Jr.

Patent number: 7264057Abstract: A method and system of subsea intervention comprises lowering one or more assemblies of intervention equipment into the sea. Underwater marine units (such as remote operated vehicles or small submarines) may be employed to connect the assemblies to each other and to the subsea wellhead equipment. The subsea wellhead equipment includes a carrier line spool (e.g., coiled tubing spool, wireline spool, slickline spool) and equipment to inject a carrier line from the carrier line spool into the subsea well. The carrier line spool can be located underwater, such as on the sea floor or positioned above the subsea wellhead equipment.Type: GrantFiled: April 28, 2004Date of Patent: September 4, 2007Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Gary L.

Patent number: 7055606Abstract: A system and method is provided for utilizing both a wellbore completion and a formation treatment system. The formation treatment system comprises a bypass that directs well treatment fluid around the wellbore completion. The bypass protects the wellbore completion from potentially corrosive or erosive well treatment fluids which, in turn, allows the wellbore completion to remain downhole during the introduction of well treatment fluids.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 2004Date of Patent: June 6, 2006Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Peter A. Goode, Claude J. Vercaemer

Patent number: 7036600Abstract: A technique for deploying expandables is provided. The technique comprises actuating an expansion tool such that the expansion tool imparts an outwardly directed radial force on an expandable tubular. More specifically, the expansion tool imparts radial expansion forces against an interior surface of the tubular thereby allowing the tubular to be deployed in a wellbore environment.Type: GrantFiled: July 23, 2003Date of Patent: May 2, 2006Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: Craig D. Johnson, Joel E. McClurkin, Kian Rasa, Peter A. Goode, David L. Malone

Publication number: 20030135429Abstract: A system and method for providing custom engineered products. A customer may select from identified unavailable products, attributes, or variances stored in a memory or may input a desired specification. The processor may then be used to compare the customer selection to available products for alternative suggestions and for advanced material ordering among other uses. The processor may also be used to determine the cost of the resources required to provide the custom engineered product. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract which will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims. 37 CFR 1.72(b).Type: ApplicationFiled: January 11, 2002Publication date: July 17, 2003Inventors: Jean-Luc Pous, David L.

Patent number: 5335542Abstract: A borehole tool having adjacently located fluid injection/withdrawal apparatus and an electromagnetic measurement apparatus is provided. The electromagnetic measurement apparatus can be an imaging apparatus for helping set the tool in desired locations for permeability testing via fluid injection or withdrawal. In a second mode, during fluid injection or withdrawal, and if desired, before and/or after injection or withdrawal, a plurality of electromagnetic measurements (images) are made. Based on the electromagnetic and hydraulic measurements, and a model which interrelates the measurements, determinations are made as to various characteristics of the formation, including effective permeabilities. Related methods for utilizing the tool and for treating the data in an integrated fashion are also set forth.Type: GrantFiled: February 12, 1993Date of Patent: August 9, 1994Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventors: T.

Patent number: 5247830Abstract: Methods for determining hydraulic properties of a formation surrounding a borehole are disclosed. The methods use a borehole tool preferably having a first probe for injecting fluid into a formation or obtaining fluid from the formation, a second probe vertically displaced relative to the first probe, and a third probe azimuthally displaced relative to the first probe. The method generally comprises: varying the pressure at the first probe of the borehole tool; measuring pressures at the second and third probes resulting from the varying of pressure at the first probe; and utilizing the pressures measured at the second and third probes to determine values over time of a function related to the hydraulic properties of the formation. This function is a function of the geometry and rock and fluid properties of the formation but is independent of the manner in which the pressure is varied at the first probe.Type: GrantFiled: September 17, 1991Date of Patent: September 28, 1993Assignee: Schlumberger Technology CorporationInventor: Peter A.
