Abstract: An actuation trigger including a housing; a piston in operable communication with the housing; a pressure source inlet to the trigger the piston being responsive to source pressure cycles; a first one-direction axial incrementing feature movable with piston movement; a rod movable with the piston and positionally restricted by the one-direction axial incrementing feature, the rod initially being part of a dynamic seal preventing actuation pressure access to a tool actuatable by the actuation pressure.

Abstract: A method of treating a wellbore comprises supporting a first tubular member in a housing; coupling a second tubular member to the first tubular member via a connector; the first tubular member, the second tubular member, or both comprising a chemical deployment modular device charged with a plurality of particulates preloaded with a well treatment additive; and deploying the first and second tubular members into the wellbore.

Abstract: A valve including a housing, a body having an aperture radially therethrough fluidly connecting a volume radially inwardly of the body with a volume radially outwardly of the body, a bulkhead sealedly disposed between the body and the housing, the bulkhead having a port therein, a piston extending through the bulkhead and sealed thereto, the piston having a bias end and a carrier end, a biasing member connected to the bias end of the piston, the piston exposed at a carrier end to fluid pressure from the volume radially inwardly of the body, a port closure operably connected to the piston.

Abstract: A multiple event trigger and actuation system including an actuator having an actuation component, a frangible dome and a pressure shiftable sleeve, a trigger having an incrementally movable stem, a holding configuration operably connected to the stem and configured to allow an incremental movement at a time based upon a pressure cycle and then hold the stem in such incremented position, and a rupture disk, the disk being positioned between a port to a pressure source and a trigger chamber, and a trigger transfer sleeve operatively connected to the shiftable sleeve to cause movement of the shiftable sleeve upon movement of the trigger transfer sleeve.

Abstract: A flow balancing device facilitates polymer injection in a horizontal formation in a manner that minimizes shear effects on the injected polymer. Features of the device reduce velocity using a broad circumferentially oriented inlet plenum that leads to a circumferentially oriented path having zig-zag fluid movement characterized by broad passages that define the zig-zag pattern so as to reduce velocity at such transition locations. Because the path is circumferentially oriented there is room for broad transition passages independent of the housing diameter. The broad crescent shaped inlet plenum also reduces inlet velocity, and therefore shear, to preserve the viscosity of the injected polymer. Other materials can be injected or the device can be employed in production service as well as injection. A related method employs the described device for injection.
