  • Wellbore casing
    Publication number: 20010047866
    Abstract: A wellbore casing formed by extruding a tubular liner off of a mandrel. The tubular liner and mandrel are positioned within a new section of a wellbore with the tubular liner in an overlapping relationship with an existing casing. A hardenable fluidic material is injected into the new section of the wellbore below the level of the mandrel and into the annular region between the tubular liner and the new section of the wellbore. The inner and outer regions of the tubular liner are then fluidicly isolated. A non hardenable fluidic material is then injected into a portion of an interior region of the tubular liner to pressurize the portion of the interior region of the tubular liner below the mandrel. The tubular liner is then extruded off of the mandrel.

  • Multi-zone profile control
    Patent number: 6070663
    Abstract: There is a provided an apparatus and process for multi-zone profile control in a well including a wellbore intersecting at least one production zone, at least one injection tube, at least one insulation means, and at least one zone isolation means. Control media is injected through the injection tube, exiting at at least one control media exit of the injection tube and entering the production zone. The insulation means allow multiple zones to be injected simultaneously with control media of different temperatures and pressures.
