  • Publication number: 20240052717
    Abstract: A tool includes a main body configured to be disposed within a tubular string within a wellbore, such that a location of the tool within the tubular string is changeable between a surface location and a downhole location. The tool includes one or more sensors configured to measure downhole parameters from which the physical properties of the wellbore can be determined. The tool further includes a flapper configured (a) to, in response to the position of the tool changing from the surface location to the downhole location, pivot radially from a closed position in which the flapper is aligned with the main body to an open position in which the flapper is away from the main body, and (b) to, in response to the position of the tool changing from the downhole location to the surface location, pivot radially from the open position to the closed position.

  • Patent number: 11674380
    Abstract: Systems and methods include a method for using a smart retrievable service packer for pressure testing operations. A service packer is installed to a depth in a well. The service packer includes one or more radio frequency identification devices (RFIDs) positioned above and below a packer element of the service packer. A determination is made, by analyzing information received from the one or more RFIDs, that a pressure leak has occurred across the service packer. The pressure leak is reported to a surface receiver system at a surface of the well.
